That question is somewhat surprising. Of course, you may leave out some notes that would be transposed by NSE4: But it wouldn't be a good idea to sample all notes of one octave and then spread the samples over the full keyboard - just imagine recording a violin and transpose it 2 octaves down: It wouldn't sound like a double bass. If you want to save space and time, rather sample every 3rd note over the full keyboard range and just transpose neighbouring notes.
On the other hand: You are going to produce nsmp4 samples for your NP5. Which support a round robin mechanism. Would a mellotron sound benefit from multiple samples for round robin? Probably not so much... I'm not sure. That would be an interesting question to me. If so, just duplicate the middle range of the given sound type where you play most of the time to save space.
As it turned out, I didn't have time to make any samples as I sold the Mellotron and had to get it in the post right away.
I'll make do with what comes with the P5 and hope for a speedy release of the next sample library.
