Gets the job done and then some
Having a portable Tron is something I couldn’t resist. I’ve been experimenting with it in conjunction with some small synths and the results are interesting and effective. Definitely plan on going further with it.
*If I had one thing I wish was in there it would perhaps be a set-up bank. Opening it up to the same three voices can get a little tiresome, especially when I need to re -figure out which combination I was liking in a previous session.
Other than that though, simple and intuitive ins
Amazing App
Very very great! Sound is great and is fun to play with. However, I would like to ask why it sounds either out of tune or a bit late for a quick moment when you press a note. For example, whenever I use the 8 Voice Choir, the voices sound very out of tune before finally getting in place. I hope that could be fixed. But otherwise, I immensely enjoy this app. 10/10!
Sounds different
I’ve had this app forever and love it. However, after the last upgrade, it sounds different. Before, it sounded like a true Mellotron, now it doesn’t. Also, the reverb was long overdue, and makes a huge difference.
Almost Perfect
I love this app and the sounds it emulates. I mostly use it with midi, but sometimes I use the on screen keys. The one small issue this app has is the slight delay in sound after a key press. My review will become 5 stars once they fix the latency issue. It’s mostly noticeable when you try to play a faster progression. Thanks!
How do I map knobs?
4/5
Fiddling without a pitchbend knob twitching? Something to be added I gather.
Love everything except doesn’t work in AUM
I love everything about app other than I can’t get it to work in AUM, which is HUGELY disappointing. If it was AUV3 compatible, I’d give it 5 stars.
I don’t normally write reviews (mellotron micro owner)
For a while was using a knock off version of “mellotron sounds” that is pretty decent in my honest opinion,
while on the go.
holy crap tho the triple layering between the 3mellotron models past expectation
And for the price comparable to an actual mellotron
You can’t go wrong 🤌🏻
Need to control volume via MIDI CC!
Love this app and integrated with my midi keyboard but I want to map the volume knob to an expression pedal. It’s of that pitch knob is mapped to the right place automatically but not volume. It’s neither mapped to midi cc 7 or cc11. It seems the volume isn’t mapped and can’t be mapped to any midi cc. Adding this feature would allow me to use this…
Beautiful sounds, currently weird MIDI behavior
I love the sounds this app has to offer. I’ve tried controlling it with MIDI for the first time, though, and every note has an unpleasant click when I press and release a key. I’m not sure what’s causing this. MIDI is coming from an Elektron Digitakt, and the only workaround I’m finding is lowering the trigger velocity almost to zero. This is not ideal as the notes play back very quietly, and the clicks still occasionally appear.
Hard to Access
Could you make the next update more accessible to screen readers like VoiceOver?

Midi isn’t working.
Midi isn’t working, shows up in Audiobus and AUM but doesn’t trigger. The update history says midi support was added. I feel misled. Sounds are beautiful though, shame it appears the only way I can use them is to manually sample them. Can’t even use software to due that without midi working.
