Me too, Christophe.  Try Tapeworm.  It’s available online and I haven’t had a problem with it in Windows 7x64.

Ah, the Mellotron!  It became the love of my life too, also having been introduced to it by Court of the Crimson King and at about the same time by the Moody Blues.  It just has a sound like nothing else.  Captain Beefheart (also a fan) described it as having , "a merthiolate sound", and that really does describe it - strangely astringent.  I was a bass and guitar player with seriously limited keyboard skills and a budget that didn't come anywhere near affording one so I just settled for listening until softsynths came along, when I picked up a program called M-Tron which is a great Mellotron emulation that I've had tons of fun with.  Unfortunately though, last winter I wound up with a new PC with Windows 7 64 bit and I wasn't able to get M-Tron to successfully install on it, though I should really go on the web again and see if there's some kind of work around.  Failing that, though, there is a new and improved version, and at this point I might just spring for it.
