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.

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.
