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.
