Charles, you have it backwards... It's a Mellotron Digital, not a  
Mellotron.
 
I agree that there is a place for it if you have to have a white box that  
looks vaguely familiar. But the box makes little difference. If it was 
orange  and had shorter keys and a different cabinet and control placement would 
you  feel the same?
 
I like it... I hate the name. I would have called it a Mellotron Digital. I 
 think it's a better name. Mellotrons (generically) play tape. Samplers 
play  samples.
