It is  JUST A SAMPLE PLAYER. That makes it a sample player of a sample 
player. It is  no better than playing samples back on my Triton Pro X. They sound 
great. But  my Mellotron is right there and it sounds so much more like a  
Mellotron.
Amen brother.
The main thing in it's defence is it's looks. An ipod version of the tron!  
Perhaps they should have called it the i-tron!
I can see it making appearances on various new wanabees pop vids.
As usual nowadays, it's a question of style over substance.
