Mellotrons differ from a digital sample because
they use tape loops, which sound warmer in
general, but are prone to wear and tear and are
much more expensive.  You are also stuck with only
using the mellotron sound on a mellotron, and you
can't edit the sample, mix with other samples on a
digital mixer, and so on, unless you record the
mellotron sound onto another medium.

Now how about a digital sample of a mellotron...
