Mellotronists

For my part. What I love and wouldn't trade for anything is the uncertain 
nature of "that" sound. The slight variations in pitch. Tapes with small 
glitches. A keyboard which seems to vary the sound slightly depending on the 
feel of the player, is to me what the tron is all about. The problem with 
samplers is that each note performance is identical to the next. Even a 
simulation of the tron's idiosyncrasies will still be a simulation and 
therefore wholly predictable.
