Not a mellotron, but 128 individually recorded and layered tracks of the guys singing a single note, then playing them back using the mixing board sliders to control the attack and decay.
This is one of the more frequently told 10cc stories, because *everyone* thinks it is an incredibly cool thing. Apparently, they eschewed the 'Tron because it just didn't quite sound like they wanted it to.
REM used a much-simplified version of this technique on one of their songs, even going to the extent of running out and buying a Tascam multitrack cassette recorder and recording individual notes to play back when doing that song during a live concert.
