Before sampling, there was tape…
Tape MELLO-FI’s sound and behaviour are inspired by Mellotron V, Arturia's software recreation of the legendary Mellotron instrument.
The combination of tape reels, analog circuitry, and ageing over time gave the Mellotron a distinct sound. Fluttering, grainy, compressed; these qualities have become an endearing part of the ‘Tron sound.
Beauty in imperfection
Take any beat, sound, or project, and instantly inject beautiful nostalgic flavour and endless vibes.
Pitchy flutters, subtle distortion, warm saturation, velvety smooth filtered sounds; Tape MELLO-FI captures the uniquely imperfect behaviour of tape in perfect detail, distilled into a single plugin that you’ll always come back to.
