RhysP Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Streetly Electronics, original makers of the Mellotron, have got a superb Mellotron app (& downloadable free user manual) available: [url="http://www.omenie.com/M3000_50th/Mellotronics_M3000_50th_Anniversary_Edition.html"]http://www.omenie.co...ry_Edition.html[/url] I've just bought an iPad air & this app is the main reason why - the sounds are just awesome. (Mods - didn't know whether this thread should go here or in "Other Instruments" - feel free to move it if you see fit) Quote
BassBus Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I do wish you hadn't posted this. I've just bought an iPad too. I've always been a prog fan. I've always loved Genesis. Guess you know what that means? [size=4] [/size] [size=4] [/size] Quote
Bassman Sam Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That's very cool. I'm looking to buy a tablet soon but didn't know which to get. This plus the Moog app has just made my mind up. Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I almost bought an ipad just for this app... In fact, on a mate's band's latest album, all the Mellotron sounds were generated from this app. Quote
RhysP Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 I just recorded a quick demo of a few of the sounds from the mellotron app & shoved it on Soundcloud if anybody is interested: https://soundcloud.com/rhysparry/mellotron-app-strings-flute (Don't really do this recording/soundcloud thing as a rule so apologies if it's unlistenable or doesn't work properly - plays OK through my mac but my PC is struggling with it even though it's a tiny file) Quote
BassBus Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Good job. That's better than the demo videos. Quote

ead Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 What about all us prog fans without iPads clearly discrimination against flared trousers and tie-dye T-shirts. In fact I think we need a survey as to how many prog fans own iPads - we should be told! Quote
