I've had this plug since ever since Version 1.0, but have only been able to get it to work properly after the 3.0 update. And WOW, it sure blew me away!
CPU-usage is minimal (around 10% on my Mac G3/450) and the hanging note problem has been eradicated.
Never having used a real Mellotron, I can't say I know for sure it is an authentic replication. However, the sounds included in the basic package have a nice vintage sound to them. With some extra phasing/chorus fx, you can make some mighty fine vintage-inflected music.
The two extra tape banks are well worth looking into as well.
I have to deduct one point for the interface, since the keys only animate when clicking on them with your mouse, but not when receiving MIDI.Read Review

This thing is on par with the big name VST synth emulations (Pro-52, PPG, Model-E, etc).
*The sound quality is first rate
*the GUI is impressively complicated - which shows just how much effort refx put into creating it
*the documentation explains a lot that might not be obvious at first
*CPU usage is minimal
*Realtime MIDI control in Cubase is the best I've seen in a VSTi
I've been a SIDstation owner for quite some time, and this VSTi blows it's hardware equivalent away! The SID sound might now be everyone's cup of tea, but if it's your's, you can't go wrong with the QuadraSID.
