Ah, Chuck, don't get so fretful!  The point is that as a seasoned  tron 
owner, you know that mellotrons have hard to define attributes that means  they 
never play the same thing the same way twice.  There are a lot more  elements at 
play and we have spent a long time defining them for our own  edification.  
Unless you model what a mellotron does then a sample replay  instrument is a 
compromise and that's what the Memotron is - a  compromise.  Jealousy really 
doesn't come into it at all!

It's more than that, isn't it? The Memotron is a sample playback of a  sample 
playback machine. Therefore, it can never be better, but it can well be  
worse. You can't record new samples into it. 
 
Fuck it.
