Then I checked out the CMI V plug in the same suite (as you mentioned) and pretty much immediately realized it was superior in every way, and probably rendered the Mellotron plug pointless. What shocked me about the Arturia rendition was how IMMEDIATELY evocative it was - however they did it (DSP combined with brilliant onboard effects I guess) the program just instantly created the correct Mellotron mood, to my ears - which is something I have always struggled to capture, even with my trusty MTron Pro.Īfter I discovered the sampling feature I started to get stockholm syndrome or something, became halfway convinced that this was the ultimate/divine music program, and it'd be the last thing I'd ever need to make perfect art effortlessly for the rest of my life.

I've been an Mtron Pro user for a very long time, so my loyalty (and reflexive, learned habits) starts there as my "normal".

Also, no custom sampling - but on the plus side, that also means that GForce didn't f*** it up like Arturia did.
Pros: TONS of lo-fi source material to play with. The latest M-Tron Pro iteration lets you map modulation wheel to brake, so you can make the tapes warble as you would with a real Mellotron by applying pressure to the flywheel. You can reverse the tape sets for rad weird psychedelic FX. More expansions than you could possibly know what to do with, including tapes used by Black Sabbath, Yes, and other prog icons. About 200 total tape sets, including tapes from Streetly Electronics that didn't make it into the original Mellotrons. Uses individual level knobs for A and B rather than a slider to crossfade. In the words attributed to Mike Love of Beach Boys fame, " don't f\** with the formula!*" Cons: WTF Arturia? If you're going to allow sampling in a Mellotron emulation, please implement it CORRECTLY. Pros: DSP serves up a lo-fi experience superior to Mello. Tape sets and custom samples can be placed anywhere on the keyboard, so you can make interesting stacks by combining sample sources. 
The issue I take with this sampling feature is that the Mellotron has 35 keys, and Arturia of all developers should not have half-assed - well, ¼-assed I guess - the sampling feature by only allowing eight samples per tape set. You can also set loops for custom samples. These can be played in traditional sampler style or stretched so that each pitch plays at the same speed. 
This makes for a total of 24 custom samples per patch.
You can load up to 8 custom samples, each up to 8 seconds, in each tape group. Adjustable sampled tape hiss and key/mechanical noise. 65 tape sets sourced from Mk1, Mk2, M300, and M400 Mellotron models. A/B/C tape selection, with AB and BC blends allowed. Cons: limited sounds, not much for tweakers. Pros: sounds good at classic noises, a few special things, easy to use. 
The top and bottom notes can stretch to the ends of the keyboard, but it's off by default.
Adjustable sampled key/mechanical noise. 
28 tape sets, some of which are reused in imaginative ways (alternating hard-panned voices, replayed far above or below pitch, et cetera). Unlike the original Mellotron, you can't do AB or BC blends. M TRON PRO VST FREE PATCH
12 patch groups (in each group, you can select tape set A, B, or C - so 36 patches). Cons: loops are baked in and not adjustable. "Speed control" script transposes and shifts each sample so even though the key sounds the same pitch at a different "speed," the timbre is different. The top and bottom notes stretch to the ends of the keyboard. Only two tape sets can load at a time, so you get A, B, and AB blend. Probably just a shell GUI for Logic's EXS24 sampler. Not a problem as Logic has plenty of effects). Each of these has tone-shaping controls, amp envelopes, and various effects (except LPX Vintage Mellotron, which comes dry. Here are the most common "classic" Mellotron plug-ins.
