Arturia Mellotron V 1.9.5.6366 for Mac
Mac AudioMellotron V is Arturia's recreation of the Mellotron, the tape-playback keyboard that put strings, choirs and flutes under the fingers of bands like The Beatles, King Crimson and Led Zeppelin long before samplers existed. Each key plays back a tape recording, and Arturia modelled the wobble, saturation and mechanical charm that make the sound so recognisable.
Key Features

- Import your own samples and play them through the tape engine
- Tape controls for flutter, wow, noise and saturation
- Mix multiple tape sounds within one preset
- Built-in effects to shape the lo-fi character further

FAQs
Can I use my own samples in Mellotron V?
Yes. User sample import is one of its headline additions — your own recordings get the same tape treatment as the factory racks.
Is Mellotron V free?
No. It is a paid Arturia instrument, also included in V Collection. You can audition it with the demo in Arturia Software Center.
