Now with modifications never dreamed of in the 1960s, the \u003cstrong\u003eArturia Mellotron V\u003c\/strong\u003e, their faithfully modeled reproduction, will infuse your sound with updated vintage goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrom psychedelic rock to rocking your world\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn the mid ‘60s, the Mellotron thrilled keyboardists with the ability to play tape-based recordings of actual orchestral instruments—adding its own quirky sonic character. Whether you’re conjuring the classics or creating new ones, adding this vintage sound to your music with Mellotron V is sure to make people sit up and listen.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat if you placed a tape playback mechanism under each key and fed each one a recording of a single orchestral instrument note? Crazy? Brilliant? Who cares! That ingenuity resulted in the Mellotron and empowered artists like The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Genesis and Yes to perform strings, brass, woodwinds and more without hiring a room full of session players. The imperfections of tape flutter and other 1960s electronics yielded a sort of alt-universe version of these traditional instruments. In today’s world of pristine sampling, that contrast has brought the “Tron” sound back into vogue at the hands of artists like Caro Emerald, Vampire Weekend and Kasabian.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSomething old, a lot new\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHere’s the thing.
