M-Tron Pro
M-Tron Pro IV is a VST virtual instrument plugin from GForce that emulates the legendary Mellotron tape-based keyboard. The plugin recreates the authentic sound of the classic M400 Mellotron, which has been central to countless iconic recordings from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead and many others across progressive rock, indie rock, lo-fi and hip hop. M-Tron Pro IV ships in VST2, VST3, AAX and AudioUnit formats, and is used by producers and musicians who want access to over 800 presets and 200+ tape banks featuring meticulously sampled Mellotron sounds. The plugin also offers a standalone mode for live performance.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionM-Tron Pro IV ships as a native Apple Silicon plugin — GForce released the native-compatible M-Tron Pro IV build in June 2023 and it is available in VST3, VST2, AAX and AudioUnit formats, all compiled for both Intel and Apple Silicon. You do not need to wait for anything: the native build is the current standard release from GForce. To get or update M-Tron Pro IV, download the latest installer directly from gforcesoftware.com. GForce does not distribute through the Mac App Store or a third-party installer; you simply download from their site and reinstall or update your DAW plugin folder. If your DAW (such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, etc.) is running natively on Apple Silicon, M-Tron Pro IV will run natively as a plugin within it. Note that if you are still on an older version of M-Tron Pro (pre-2023), upgrading to M-Tron Pro IV is a paid upgrade (around $29 for existing owners), so check GForce's website to confirm your current version and upgrade path.
