yeah maybe try some cheesy organ patches which are meant to sound like flutes or strings. You can put some various modulations on it to to alter the pitch slightly and slowly. maybe try tweaking the attack too.

I realize this is late.. however, many years ago I had a rich musician buddy who owned 

one.. and I spent many an hour playing and listening to these three-track tapes.  I played it 

through what we now know as a class A system, with excellent 3-way bins.. and I say that 

it had some frequency response problems.  Listening to early Moody Blues CDs brings it all 

right back.



IF you don't want to chase additional libraries, I suggest creating a standard track - flute, 

strings or choir - and then applying some telephone-style visual EQ to it.. you have to 

reduce the audio range on modern samples to properly emulate the Mellotron.  Roll off the 

top and the bottom.  Don't imagine that Mellotron samples were hi-fi by any means..



best luck
