Synth

Mellotron emulator that recreates those classic tape-based string and choir textures.

Electro-Harmonix built the Mel9 to recreate Mellotron sounds from a guitar. Those classic tape-based textures from Beatles, King Crimson, and Genesis records.

Nine preset sounds cover orchestral strings, choir, brass, flute, and other Mellotron staples. The algorithm transforms your guitar signal through filtering and envelope processing to match the character of tape replay.

Mix blends Mellotron with dry guitar. Attack control shapes the note onset. Polyphonic tracking handles chords.

Mellotron sounds without the tape maintenance nightmares.
