I'd be very interested in reading the research papers.
Good to hear more people are interested in the matter.
It looks like the legal way to have the Mellotron samples
is to re-create the sounds. Remember that the particular tapes
were re-mastered. The copyright is as new as the re-masters.
(But Project Gutenberg list had a posting on a recent court
case which could indicate different.)
BTW, we already could create a nice set of similar sounds using
physical modeling and the like. Nord Modular has good patches
freely available.
How important it is to have the original Mellotron sounds? Mellotron
is well known from songs like White Satin (by who?) but the guy
recorded his own violin sounds. Why would we be happy with the
factory sounds if he was not?
I will put together a collection of papers after the summer heat
has cooled down.

I don't think most people who are interested in the Mellotron sounds
are hoping to do a cover version of Nights in White Satin (by the
Moody Blues.... the keyboardist at the time being Mike Pinder, who
put his name on a Mellotron sample CD that you used to be able to get
for about 200 bucks.)
Nothing else sounds like the Mellotron strings and choir sounds.
People who just try to imitate it using synthesis or even recording
actual string sections or choirs don't "get it"..... the idea isn't
to sound good or realistic, it's to sound like a Mellotron.
I made a Gravis patch a few years back out of samples I found on
someone's mellotron fan page, which I used in some of my later
pre-Linux doodling found at http://www.kudla.org/mymusic/ . I'd
distribute the .pat but I really have no idea what the copyright
situation is and I don't want to taint anyone's collection. My stuff
is pretty awful (and nascent) but you can probably tell that I'm
trying to use Mellotron sounds to get a surreal, lo-fi thing going.
