A WHOLE ORCHESTRA IN ONE INSTRUMENT 15 individual instruments, all sampled with great attention to detail from the legendary Mellotron keyboard. Corresponding to the original Mellotron, which has shaped countless hits by bands like the Beatles, The Moody Blues and King Crimson.

EZkeys Mellotoon is based on the original Mellotron keyboard introduced in the early 1960s. This instrument was unique and the first of its kind because it used samples of various real instruments to create sound. However, no modern digital sampler was used, the sounds of the Mellotron came from magnetic tape loops that were played inside. Available were so different sounds of pianos, strings, flutes and horns - so to speak the first and early "Band-in-a-Box" and thus a true sound revolution. Today, this gem of instrument history is experiencing an impressive resurrection in productions of the most varied genres

The EZkeys Mellotoon makes the tonal essence of this truly unique instrument available and offers a total of 15 different individual instruments, all Mellotron sampled in great detail from an original M400 model (direct signals, amp signals and mix). In addition, EZkeys Mellotoon includes a large selection of individual effects and presets for various signal chains - allowing you to transform inspiring instruments into completely new and fascinating sounds in no time at all.
