I don't think the DW8000 can be programmed to do a good Mellotron sound,
(any of the Mellotron sounds). The DW8000 has only single-cycle
waveforms, and the Mellotron has 10-second full-length samples. The
Mellotron has all kinds of distortion in it, too, in addition to pitch
instability. I always use a bit of distortion in my Mellotron
emulations, if the synth supports it.
My approach on the DW8000 would be to start with a string-like waveform,
detune the oscillators a tad, and use the filter at a fixed cutoff to
emulate the restricted bandwidth of the Mellotron. Then you'd use the
delay line to add animation via a chorus effect. Maybe this would be
close enough for your needs, but if like your address suggests, you have
a DSS1 as well, the DSS1 is more suited for this because it has all the
analog goodness of the DW plus sample memory.
