I am not even that old. ( turned 17 a few weeks ago) but I feel so familiar with this sounds. I have heard them in old movies I used to watch and cartoons. Took me back to as a kid. Loved it
This is the first "plug in" demo which has made me want to get it. Those stings, those flutes, the choirs and the pianos from "Rubicon"...heaven! Great job!
I'll admit, at first I was thinking "what's the big deal? It's just more of the same ol' Mellotron sounds you can get anywhere." This was prior to hearing your demonstration. After hearing all of the extra sounds and your playing, I now want that software. I saw that Arturia says it's modeled after the '60s Mellotron but some of those sounds (like that trumpet) sound like they could be used in a 1940s styled composition. Those sounds would be great for any boom bap, East coast hip hop producer who didn't want to sample any album but wanted to make original compositions that have that old album sound. Arturia outdid themselves with this one.
Fantastic demo, the Mellotron V sounds amazing! Arturia always delivers top-notch virtual instruments and this one is no exception. Can't wait to add it to my collection. Thanks for the great video
It's just way overpriced. I was about to buy it last night and it was 80 bucks. I got up today to buy it and it was $200..I was like well nevermind I guess :(
Never payed attention to the tunes played in demoes, but this time they were awesome!!! Kudos for the choice and the execution, subscribed to the channel!!
When King Crimson sent their Mellotron away to be fitted with new tape banks in the 1970's, a copy was made of the old knackered ones first. I have a copy of those copies, the Three Violins and the Brass. They sound gloriously woozey, wobbly and lo fi - and I much prefer them to any other sample that I have so far heard!
Going for the demonetization grand slam in this video is seems, lol! This software sounds amazing though and I'm envious of your knowledge of classic themes on piano.
Thanks, I have this VST and I learned a lot just by watching.... or as Yogi Berra says, "you can see a lot just by watching"..... seriously, good stuff.
great! but what's up with the description? 0:23 The Gentleman 2:37 The Grandeur 5:00 The Maverick 7:29 Alicia's Keys 13:40 The Giant 17:01 Una Corda 20:47 Noire
What's insulting about Arturia's upgrade policy? I got the upgrade for a "below amazing and even below ridiculous" price, as an owner of the "2 versions ago" rev of the product, and am going to be running it on a different platform than I originally purchased it for. I'm curious to know what fault you found with the offer you received.
That's incredible - how are you supposed to get on to the other amazing instruments in the Collection with that embarrasment of riches behind door number 1? Can't wait to get v7 up and running. Thanks for the demo!
I've A/B'd the Mellotron V with M-Tron Pro/Streetly Tapes and a 7 year old Mellotron. 1st place of course, went to the real Mellotron, followed very closely by M-Tron Pro. The Mellotron V came in 3rd. GForce doesn't hide the source of their samples like Arturia and other companies do. They readily admit that their samples came from Streetly Electronics, the company that developed the Mellotron in the 1960's. The Streetly Tapes were sampled from the output of the Skellotron, the most perfectly maintained M400-type Mellotron you can find anywhere, and was loaded with fresh, newly recorded tape. The Mellotron V samples sound somewhat muddy by comparison.
Today I tried a digital mellotron in physical format. The feeling that I have is that sounded so much better than this plugin. Is it placebo fx in your opinion?
@@onceuponasynth Thanks, I found it's still available, very cheaply, from various retailers - but I'm thinking about trying it's successor, the Novation Launch Control XL Mk2. :) It's a bit more expensive but with more functionality - and it's designed to works alongside the Novation Launchpad, which was already on my wishlist...
Doctor mix has cool video featuring original mellotron, it sounds fantastic, and this is nice simulation, but layering and controls brings it to another level.
Nice videos ! Could you make a video, sharing tips at how you shoot your vídeos ? Camera, lighting, image composition and maybe editing. I really like the mood in your videos. Now i understand why you had to choose a black piano controller.
This is the most fun I've had watching someone demo a VST
Weird, right? I agree.
I was just thinking the same thing...ACTUALLY PLAYS GREAT SOUNDING MUSIC
then you havent seen keyscape yet
Finally someone being able to play piano while testing 👍
One of the most listenable demos of any gear I've seen on RUclips because of your playing recognizable pieces instead of mindless noodling.
And he's playing more than just generic pop songs.
Most of the time you can not get away with anything BUT noodling because you will be hit with a copy write strike from youtube.
You must not like the mars Volta
These 14 min took me to my childhood of previous life
I am not even that old. ( turned 17 a few weeks ago) but I feel so familiar with this sounds. I have heard them in old movies I used to watch and cartoons. Took me back to as a kid. Loved it
this is the best product demo i’ve ever watched

lil uzi type beats
This is how one demonstrates an instrument! You adapt your playing to the instrument at hand. Great job and very well played!
Brilliant demo, it's a real pleasure listening to such a wide repertoire.
Pretty awesome. Pretty psychedelic. One of the best software trumpets I've heard.
Nice, I could've listened to another 15 minutes of you noodling through these presets. Love that lo-fi grunginess Mellotron sound.
Fantastic demo, the Mellotron V sounds amazing! Arturia always delivers top-notch virtual instruments and this one is no exception. Can't wait to add it to my collection. Thanks for the great video
A wonderful instrument for Lofi and Ambient ! I have a lot of fun with the few presets in the analog lab, and i'll soon buy the whole version 😄
Yeah it's awesome for lo-fi stuff, it has a lot of character.
Check out Fairlight CMI V
I can think of a beatmaker who used those Mellotron flute sounds in an instrumental.
It's really like making 50s and 60s sounding music from scratch on modern tech!
Great demo. And nice playing as well. Thanks!
Best Mellotron V Demo on RUclips ! Thanks a lot for that moment :D
It's just way overpriced. I was about to buy it last night and it was 80 bucks. I got up today to buy it and it was $200..I was like well nevermind I guess :(
@@bradfordstring65 get the v collection my man
@@Bram-zv1kh yeah, u get like 32 instruments that costs like 130$ alone for a 599$
Your playing skills are immaculate 🐐 made the plug-in millions of times better.
I love Arturia's Mellotron! The whole V-Collection is just amazing! Great video!!! :)
Never payed attention to the tunes played in demoes, but this time they were awesome!!! Kudos for the choice and the execution, subscribed to the channel!!
how did i just watch 14 minutes of someone demoing a synth, nice work lol
Great to watch a demo with some nice playing by a real musician!
Great demo! I found the music very inspiring!
Dude, this is your best demo yet.

Same!
Hook a brother up
@@aaronbarber6238 where do I find them?
Thank you for another brilliant review ✌🏻 I love your channel!
I could listen to the JS Bach pieces you play on this all day, IT’S SUCH A VIBE 🤣
Your playing its always inspiring, no matter what vst/gear you play.
Keep rocking!
This was SO GREAT. Thank you! I'm about to buy one of their controllers with the collection and this just hit the spot, man!
This video is my new favorite album
i think it's like my 5th time listening to this video in loop :D it's amazing!!
Love the retroesque playing!
Going for the demonetization grand slam in this video is seems, lol! This software sounds amazing though and I'm envious of your knowledge of classic themes on piano.
wow this goes on my list! I love the dark sounds of it >)
I’m going to download it now!
Great video as always! Cheers!
magnificent synth. i d die for this one.
Captivated and captivating my man
Thanks, I have this VST and I learned a lot just by watching.... or as Yogi Berra says, "you can see a lot just by watching"..... seriously, good stuff.
It's a nice emulation, I just wish there was one octave lower available (even if it's only a pitch down like on the UVI version).
Yeah same, I found myself running out of notes a few times.
you can actually play one octave below as well as above by moving the key range for each voice in the editor which you see on screen.
crazy how realistic those instrument sounds are
Okay…I’m getting it right now
For some wacky reason, this plugin (it's sounds) gives me great Disney's old cartoons' vibes. I'm gonna cry now 😭❤
Wow, that was super-packed full of awesomeness! I will definitely pick this one up! Thanks! :)
man your bach playing is awesome
Excellent and helpful demo! Good job.
The choirs sound amazing on this
Strawberry fields for ever
can you make a video about how you edit your vocals?
thanks!
You just sold this plugin to me, man. Great demo of sounds.
5:43 goosebumps :D
1:52 - 2:08 *What song was that?*
LEGENDARY DEMO
Less talk, more content!! Love it, thanks.
Does anyone know what song he is referencing from 1:55 - 2:07 ? It sounds so familiar. Or is that just him freestyling?
please add pizzicato.. that's one of the most important sound in the mellotron!!!!!!
Great demo. Gonna have to get this.
Sounds great, I'm definitely going to get this
Well I'm sold. Great demo.
great!
but what's up with the description?
0:23 The Gentleman
2:37 The Grandeur
5:00 The Maverick
7:29 Alicia's Keys
13:40 The Giant
17:01 Una Corda
20:47 Noire
Samuel Costa its a copy paste from his video on 7 native instruments pianos
oops good catch, I removed it. I normally copy templates from my other vids but forgot to remove this part.
once upon a synth i know! was just being silly. thx for the content man!
please come back ma, where ever you are. you are missed.
Why does the mellotron sound better than some sample libraries now?
Спасибо большое. Это лучшая демо демонстрация, которую я видел.
Although I'm an outside the box person, i really need this plugin
.i cant wait to run it through the strymon big sky!
Was not expecting LOTR haha love it
Whats the song name on 1:57
Can I import preset banks on the demo version
Nice presentation! Nice instrument!!! thanks
Im getting a software based guitar synth soon - this is going in my kit bag of VSTs!!!!!!
Thanks so much for your vids !!
Nice sounds and I would have upgraded to the latest version of V collection if Arturia’s upgrade policy wasn’t so insulting.
I truly feel you on that one, I would have pulled the trigger on it as soon as it came out, but their upgrade policy, like wtf, actually
@Lalaland What do you have in mind? I’m curious because I’m thinking of buying it myself.
@@Lalaland.001 Can you tell me what you mean? I haven't read into it

Indeed

What is played at 8:06 please
What is that you are using to control the effects of the mellotron ?
Hi what is that controller with all the knobs that you’re using with your keyboard? It would be awesome if you could tell us what it is. 😇
Literal Drill Machine, a must have for drill producers.
what kind of controller are u using and why? thanks
Winal Frontier is FIRE
Is it me or is sounding significantly better than the g-force software?
Good shit!!!
anyone know what the thing is that hes using to change the settings of the plugin?
Sounds fantastic. Can you do a "one synth song" with it oneday?
SPLENDID 👏
Only as a Lead instrument? I'd like to have a background/rhytme thing like an original mellotron. Is there any other functions?
Great demonstration, what is the song at @12:41 to 12:51?
Ik just put a new melotron out would love to hear a comparison
GENESIS chords!
Wondering if this can be done like Oasis's Wonderwall?
What is the device you're using (on top of your keyboard) to control the parameters of the software?
Novation Launch Control. The one I have is discontinued, but they have a new one I think.
@@onceuponasynth Thanks, I found it's still available, very cheaply, from various retailers - but I'm thinking about trying it's successor, the Novation Launch Control XL Mk2. :) It's a bit more expensive but with more functionality - and it's designed to works alongside the Novation Launchpad, which was already on my wishlist...
how do I learn to play like you dude?
Unique product from Arturia with samples... ♡
Oh Yess.... That's What I"m Talking About !!!! Aww Man.... Great Demo Bruh... That's The One No Question ☺😎👊💯💯
FYI.. it's on sale half off. From $150 to $75. 2-17-21
