What do The Beatles, the Moody Blues, and Marilyn Manson all have in common? They all used Mellotrons on their albums! All of the classic sounds you need are all built in to this instrument. I gurantee you will love it, I do.

Nickfrom United States March 18, 2013Music Background: Active musician ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!I love this software, all the mellotron sounds you could wish for plus more!
Markfrom Buffalo, NY November 5, 2012Music Background: Musician and Computer guy The GForce M-Tron ProThe very best collection frim the real deal the Mellotron. The sounds are dead on and the patch library is worthy as well. The Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Moody Blues and now you, wow! No downside when you consider the two Mellotron makers are selling instruments at 3000 and above and you can't even match the library this offers. I found it very easy to install and it worked with two of my DAW's flawlessly. It didn't interfere with other music software as well! All in all this is a great collection of the true classic.
Brianfrom Rochester, NY July 4, 2012Music Background: Keys Player, home engineer/song writer Most Realistic Melotron on the MarketI have owned this for about a year now and still am amazed at he sound it produces. I never had a chance to play a "real" one so I don't know what the original keybed was like, but I have listened to them all my life and this is what I heard all those years. It has all the controls you need and more, is easily mapped. I can't imagine how to make it any better! The price is a steal. I also love the fact that it has exactly the same number of notes/keys and the original timing coinstraints so you must play it like and original, of course unless you click a button. Then the samples loop flawlessly. I love playing this instument. It is much better than the more expensive IK, I own both, and although the IK does more it most definately doesn't do what this one does any where near as well. If you are looking for a Melotron and don't want to lay out thousands for a new one or a vintage one, look no further.
michael ayoubfrom Detroit April 23, 2012Music Background: Prog Rock Performer, Live Sound Engineer Mtron ProI was owner of the original version of this product. This release is worth the money as it is far superior to the original release. It works quite well. Latency is not an issue and the sounds are terrific. I have had several original Mellotrons including a double Tron. I also used to have a Birotron. Whuile the originals bear some mysterious appeal, mlstly for the novelty of the instrument, this rendition and overall paradigm is far superior for recording and playing live. Hassle factor of this compared to the originals not even a close comparison. The sounds are infinately better to work with in this rendition, and apart from the visual of a broken back and a large thing that could easily be a time machine, again the Mtron is superior.

Chrisfrom ChiLand, IL April 5, 2012Music Background: Pro Musician AwesomeThe samples are just breath taking......So real, so much vibe and mojo. The sounds on my fav records growing up. I'm a instrumental shred guitarist and the sounds are really inspiring. I'm trying to put the flute and Yes strings into every song I'm working on!
Harris Bergsohnfrom Long Island, New York March 18, 2012Music Background: Recording Engineer, Professional Musician Amazing Mellotron SoundsLet me start by saying, M-Tron is absolutely amazing.I will be using this software live on stage with a Progressive Metal band. M-Tron Pro is the software they chose to go with on their third album, and the sounds were so quality that it was extremely important to use it for our shows. M-Tron has phenomenal Mellotron emulation sounds, from the Tripled 8 Choir to YesStrings to the MkII Church Organ. Those would be my three preferred "Go-To" sounds for my own songwriting, but all the sounds are great. It captures the real air and body of the original Trons. M-Tron Pro is definitely worth the amazing price. A stunning Tron specialist that won't break the bank. What more could I ask for?
Jared Saltefrom Canada November 10, 2011Music Background: Producer/Recording Engineer Just Buy It AlreadyFor the longest time I've been looking at this product scratching my head wondering if it would be a good addition to my studio. Just a few days I purchased and I must say to any buyer out there stop wasting your time and just pick it up already. It's spot on.
Robby Rosefrom Springdale, AR October 3, 2011Music Background: Student-Hobbyist An instrument in itself.There are a LOT of mellotron smple sets out there on the market, but the feature set on the M-tron sets it apart from the others. The capability to reverse sounds, adjust the starting-points of sounds, combine sounds and tweak effects all within the interface make the M-Tron a unique instrument that allows you to harnesses the vintage Mellotron and bring it into another realm if you want to. I had a samll problem installing it due to a corrupt font file, but G-force support replied to my support inquiry within minutes and sent me a file that remedied the situation.All in all I am more than pleased with the M-tron. It is inspiring in a way that I don't think would be possible with a standard sample set in a generic sample interface. After mapping your MIDI controller to the essential functions it truly feels like an instrument. It is fun to record songs totally embellishing the lush rythems and lo-fi instrument sounds in the M-tron, but it is truly useful to use the M-tron in a subtle way to add some mystery and lo-fi goodness to an other wise contemporary track. If you are in the market for a Mellotron clone or sample set you can't go wronge with this one. It may not be the most complete set of samples on the market, but it is still extensive and is quite an inspiring intrument to boot.
Eldonfrom Oregon February 25, 2011Music Background: Composer/Player I LOVE SWEETWATER!I have nothing but good things to say about this product, the sales-people, and the support. I LOVE this product. Andy Bitler is the best music sales-human I have ever dealt with (ever!), and John from Mac/Tech support was AMAZING! This company rocks and between the Logic9 I purchased and this incredible plug in, I am wasting precious hours that I should be devoting to studies to the wonderful world of Mellotrons. Thank you to BOTH of you so much!OK, getting past the hero worship, I would like to see Sweetwater add a functionality to their customer service. Please add a "marker" so that we know where we are at when waiting on the phone help. I did lose almost an hour of Cell minutes, when I could have just either left a message for a callback, or B.) entered an email form with the appropriate info for a callback. This is small potatoes compared to the incredible value and service I get with Sweetwater as a whole. This is one of the BEST companies I have ever worked with!
Markfrom Gilbert, AZ December 7, 2010 I absolutely LOVE this plugin!GForce has really thought this one through! M-Tron comes with so many amazing sounds and having the ability to layer them really makes the possibilities endless. To make things even better, you can reverse and/or use half-speed on all the sounds. It's awesome! And going one step beyond that, you can spend another $39 and get the Optigan sounds (GForce calls these OptiTron) to add to your M-Tron library - in their own category listing. Very well done! :)Within minutes after purchasing the Electronic Delivery version I had an email from Sweetwater with all the information I needed to download my software. I was up and running in a short amount of time. Keep in mind that downloading this plugin will take a little time as the sounds are over 3GB. 
Angus Cookefrom United States April 20, 2012Music Background: Recording Engineer/Producer GForce M-Tron ProReally good sounds right out of the box, and some amazing artist presets.
Milosfrom San Diego, CA January 19, 2012 More than TronGreat instrument. You can blend 2 sample sets in one patch, LFO, filters, delay, ensembles, detuning, ... Definitely check included artistic presets that go way beyond what would you expect from the classic tron.
Alexander Frostfrom Austin, Texas August 2, 2011Music Background: professional musician, former child prodigy playing from 3 years old, can now play 40+ instruments, 0 friends to hold him back That gorgeous, lovely and sweet Mellotroni was so excited when i saw this in stock. i really, really love this instrument, perhaps too much and then it hit me...the makers of m-tron, two amazing men who love what they do, and who are very helpful and understanding, live in...the UK! i had been to their website enough to know that shipping an item all the across the atlantic takes a bit of time. i panicked, i was angry, i was sad. id really been looking forward to try it out ASAP...but sweetwater understands. so mr. michael eads takes extra time to email the installation codes quite late at night, just so i could find contentment in what has to be the most authentically accurate tron on the soft synth market. yes, moody blues, genesis, sabbath, and on and on. G-force has recreated the sounds made famous by the great tron acts, and so very much more. anyone at all with a curiosity should pick this up. theres a lot to explore, both for long time lovers and those getting started. this is why i implore you to read the manuals, as they share the stories of two men searching high and low for the sounds they require. its very interesting, especially the years they spent searching for the even more elusive optigan, which happens to have an m-tron compatible expansion pack available at their website for (not free) download, but opti and mtron voices can be played simultaneously, just like any two of the myriad tron voices, most of which you would never expect.
from August 25, 2012Music Background: Electronic tech. Mellotron MachineUsing M-Tron Pro software I made a Mellotron to play with. Rebuilt a dusty Pentium 4 computer with Windows XP and an old Sound Blaster Audigy 1 sound card. Plugged in a cheap midi keyboard and vois la, Mellotron! Not the fastest or latest hardware but the thing works and sounds great. It's fun to play the instrument I've listened to since the 1960s. The sound of the Mellotron can't be beat.
Perfrom February 8, 2012 M-Tron Pro, great instrumentThis Pro version really is worth every cent! The best of the best from the old beasts! Lo-fi is really what is needed in the hyper-digital musical world of today. I would rather call it True-fi. Works great in any mix to warm it up and make it pulsate. And the 8 sec tone duration limit, true to the original, infuse a style of playing that helps the music to breathe.
Seanfrom Singapore February 24, 2012Music Background: Guitarist, Keyboards, Studio owner, composer SimpleI was expecting to be blown away by this product based on so much praise and positive reviews. It deserves a lot of credit for having such a clean and intuitive interface, simple install and attractive price.I wasn't blown away though. I'm yet to find any of the samples to be as mix ready, or as rich as the other libraries that I already own. I guess I would sum it all up by saying a truly great instrument will inspire you to play, yet with the M-Tron Pro I was auditioning sounds and mentally categorizing them as not useful, maybe useful, and "I'll use that one day". To be fair, I have an enormous library already and I would probably feel differently if I bought this years ago.
