MO : I  used to have a Mellotron, but I sold it to Clive Nolan many 
years ago. I  liked the sounds but I don't like the actual instrument at 
all. It's a  horrible keyboard and they go wrong all the time. I would 
much rather  access those sounds using modern technology that actually 
works! The  Sampletank Mellotron sounds sound a lot better to me than my 
old Mellotron  400 anyway, and generally I was pretty disappointed with 
the real  Mellotron.



To put this in perspective, Martin's M400 was an unserviced  bag'o'shite when 
we had it in for restoration.  Of course his opinion  was going to be ever 
thus just as anyone would malign anything that functioned  that badly.  Stick a 
car in a garage for years and then try driving it as  your main vehicle 
without adjustment or attention of any kind.  People like  Martin piss me off 
because their comments are based on their own lack of  commitment to keep things 
electromechanical maintained.  Arse!
