🎹 Arturia Mellotron V – The Legendary Tape Keyboard Reimagined

Experience the Iconic “Tron” Sound in Your DAW

Step into the world of classic progressive rock and vintage orchestral textures with Arturia Mellotron V — the faithful software recreation of the groundbreaking 1960s tape-based keyboard. From subtle strings and haunting woodwinds to bold brass textures, Mellotron V brings the warmth, quirks, and character of the original tape machines directly into your modern music production setup. 🎶✨

Whether you’re a producer, composer, or synth enthusiast, Mellotron V lets you blend, tweak, and manipulate sounds with unprecedented freedom, keeping the magic of the original instrument alive while opening doors to new sonic possibilities.

🚀 The One, The Only Mellotron

Originally introduced in 1963, the Mellotron used individual tape playback mechanisms per key, allowing musicians to access orchestral sounds without a live ensemble. Its mechanical imperfections — tape flutter, hiss, and pitch instability — created a unique “alternate-reality” sound that became a hallmark of progressive rock and inspired generations of musicians.

🎯 Why Mellotron V Stands Out

• Authentic tape-based sound modeling

• Signature flutter, hiss, and saturation effects

• Blend multiple instruments simultaneously

• Recreates the classic “Tron” character

Perfect for retro textures, cinematic scoring, and experimental music production.

🎛️ Amazing Presets & Full Modeling Control

Mellotron V includes samples from the best original tape banks, allowing you to mix-and-match instruments across tracks. Every detail of the original hardware is available for manipulation — including tape saturation, flutter, mechanical noise, and noise floor.

🔹 Key Features

• 3 tracks to select or blend samples

• Amplitude envelopes and loop control per sample

• Velocity-sensitive volume and aftertouch-controlled flutter

• Time-stretching on imported samples

• Dedicated effects pedalboard for full sonic sculpting

This hybrid of vintage authenticity and modern flexibility makes it perfect for composers, sound designers, and producers.

🎹 65 Original Tape Racks & User Sample Import

Mellotron V ships with 65 vintage tape racks from MKI, MKII, M300, and M400 units, including the sounds made famous in tracks like “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “The Court of the Crimson King.”

You can also import your own samples, letting you treat any audio with the classic Mellotron character, giving your music a retro-futuristic edge.

🎧 Onboard Effects & Amplifiers

• 4 FX slots with 10 effect types

• Amplifier simulators: Fender Twin & Leslie

• Room ambiance module

These tools let you craft lush, immersive textures or gritty, vintage tones, all within a single plugin.
