re: Mellotron 

It's not really a Logic-al sollution but .....

Reason has a "refill" package that has all the Abbey Road keyboards.   I use my Reason

integrated into my production environment!  The mellotron would be great!!

Reason product description (see the video!!):  http://www.propellerheads.se/products/refills/ark/dsp_frameset.cfm

A great mellotron advertisment (video):

I hope this helps!
