We love the look of the Mellotron and the functionality doesn’t suffer whatsoever. The GUI’s in Arturia plugins are among the best on the market.

The plugin also has the capability to blend multiple voices as you like, a feature which we employed to create the chords for our song. The Mellotron V has an incredible tape sample library from the original instruments. These legendary instruments were made popular by The Moody Blues and The Beatles but have gone on to be used by contemporary artists.Ī huge limitation to the older versions was the number of voices… an issue that is not limiting whatsoever in the V Collection interpretation.

When the key is released, the tape retracts to its starting position. The original Mellotron is an instrument which is played by pressing keys which move pieces magnetic tape against a playback head, presented in the form of a piano keyboard. We put these three new plugins to the test in our latest installation of DMNW Demos to construct a hip hop and downtempo dance-inspired beat! The addition of the Mellotron, Synthi, and CZ are well appreciated and expand the sonic palette of V Collection tremendously. Featuring the new sounds of four new or updated instruments, it feels like the update we didn’t know we needed. The latest update of Arturia’s fantastic digital instrument bundle has been well worth the wait.
