I knew it was Mellotron 'something'
 
Trombone was my second guess after Rick confirmed Oboe as an M400 sound.
 
I'm a bit embarrased and should actually know better, since I have both of those sounds!!

Nope.  No oboe on a MKII.  Trombone as it 'appens.

Mellotron oboe on Flying.


 Clavioline on BYARM? No that's a common misconception repeated everywhere.

A Clavioline doesn't have gliding note capabilities.

It's an Ondioline .
