The Memotron is a virtual Mellotron, based on digitized samples from the original keyboard's sounds. Manufactured by Manikin Electronic, it made its first appearance at the NAMM Show in 2006.[1]

Rick Wakeman uses the Memotron when playing live.[3] For the recording of the 2009 live album The Six Wives of Henry VIII Live at Hampton Court Palace, Wakeman used two Memotrons.
