If you find some decent Mellotron sounds, I'd be interested in hearing
about it. I've got a VST plugin with samples from a real Mellotron, but
I've yet to get it working using libfst or vstserver. I may just end up
making my own samples of the samples (which are, after all, early analog
samples of real instruments) and using them as soundfonts or something
along those lines. Of course, I can't redistribute them, since the
samples from GMedia are copyrighted.
