In what may be a futile attempt, I will attempt to introduce some  
discussion into this group.

Do you think there is any merit in  recording and selling new sounds for 
the Mellotron?

    *   Pro this, I'd say that it expands the palette of sounds available 
for  the instrument, keeps it 'alive' and generates revenue for those who 
want to  sell it as a product.  
    *   Contra this, you could argue that it transforms the Mellotron into  
just another sampler and that there are probably better digital  products 
out there for the job, plus the fact that usually the Mellotron is  sold to 
sound like a Melotron and not like just any other instrument.  

Discuss?
