Long before synths, the Mellotron put an orchestra at the keyboardist’s command using tape recordings of real instruments. Mellotron V harnesses all of its lo-fi goodness in an authentic virtual instrument, respectfully enhanced for modern music-making.
Tape-BasedOrchestra Keyboard
Flutes, strings, brass, organs, choirs — if you wanted these sounds in the 1960s, the Mellotron was the only solution short of hiring section players.
Its unheard-of realism was infused with the quirks of each key playing a moving analog tape, creating a sound that went down in history with The Beatles, The Moody Blues, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and countless others. Mellotron V brings that history, with every beautiful sonic imperfection, to your musical future.
More Than Sound
Mellotron samples have been readily available for decades, but Mellotron V provides the full, immersive experience of playing the genuine article.
Original Samples
Mellotron V’s collection of 65 original tape banks is utterly authentic, recorded directly from the actual tapes.
Inspiration Machine
Realistic and otherworldly at the same time, Mellotron V’s tones will lead to riffs and musical ideas that the best hi-fi orchestral samples won’t.
Roll Your Own
Load external samples and stamp the Mellotron’s vintage signature on any sound you like.
Strawberry Fields,Everything Is Real
In the 1960s, sampling wasn’t yet even a fantasy. But what if you could cross a tape player with a musical instrument? That’s the Mellotron, and it literally rewrote the rules for what keyboards could do.
The idea was genius: a bank of tapes, one for each note, in a cabinet with a keyboard on it. Pressing a key pushes a play head onto the tape, triggering the recorded sound. Finicky? Very. Expensive? Half the price of a starter home in the UK in the ’60s. Perfect sound? Not even. But it captured musicians’ imaginations at the exact time rock music was going high-concept and welcoming artistic influences.
