Description
Elastic Melody is a standalone Mac Application and AUv3 plugin with 3 channels of synthetic sounds, an analog style step sequencer and 4 master effects. Almost all parameters can be automated and thus changed in an „elastic way“. The focus of Elastic Melody is on a fast and intuitive creation of melodies with a basic analog sound.
Elastic Melody comes with a bunch of presets from well-known sound designers of the iOS scene, like "Sound of Izrael", "Red Sky Lullaby", "Nu-Trix", "JaKob Haq" and others.

Ratings and Reviews
Enjoying this one
MIDI out is a great update, and I love the randomisation options.
Ideally it’d be nice to have a traditional piano roll for tweaking randomised ideas - I find the current method for changing note octaves very fiddly - but I’m not knocking stars off, as it’s not setting out its stall as a full DAW or beatbox, and I’m having plenty of fun with it as it is.
Traditional piano roll would get it 6 stars, and another 6 for an Elastic Drums AU update - as it’s the perfect accompaniment to this one!
One out of three ain’t bad
The inclusion of midi in/out improves this app. Moving it from simply fun to useful. But as the developer has stated, he does not want to include midi export or tie notes functionality. So without those this is probably as good as the app gets. Something that is fine for messing around with basic ideas, which then need more capable versatile apps to get to where they’re going.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your feedback. Full Midi support will come!
Midi export rather not, also no tie notes function, but you can change a steps length in the automation view, which is similar to a tie function
Great potential
Lots of potential with this app but the preset sounds feel a bit limited and the key seems off in the sequencer! When I play a G note it sounds like a D. Maybe it’s just my version or the way I’m operating the app. I’d love to see a fine tuning control in the app to tune to 432hz?
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. Oh, have to check the keys being off. Fine tune control is a good idea though
