The Mellotron Group

It's about your personal connection with the machine as much as the sound..the feel of it.  It's a very selfish feeling actually.  I can fool 99.9% of the public with samples, but I can't fool myself.  That's what counts!

Well I think it depends. 
 
I've been able to tell the real thing apart from samples, but deeper in the mix - yes it's pretty difficult.
 
Also - I imagine most Mellotron owners could recognize when it is real or not.

An Alesis piano module would never be mistaken for a Steinway where as this instrument would be difficult if not impossible to distinguish 
from a tape machine in a mix by most everyone.
