How do you know that they were presets (by which, I assume, you mean 
factory programmed patches)?

How do you know that Rick didn't programme the sounds himself?

How do you know that they were all generated digitally?

Why am I bothering to send this?

Why did I resubscribe to this forum?

Oh yes... and ...  correct me, but doesn't a Mellotron doesn't play 
preset sounds???
