THIS APP IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. IT IS BELIEVED TO STILL WORK BUT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES FOR FUTURE IOS VERSIONS. ANY SUPPORT QUESTIONS WILL *NOT* BE ANSWERED. The Streetlytron '63 Edition : genuine Mellotronics for your iPhone and iPad. Brought to you in partnership with Streetly Electronics, the inventors of the mellotron, Streetlytron includes a massive collection of 63* tapes from Streetly's Production Masters - exactly the same tapes that ship with their $8,000 M4000 unit. Playable with the on-screen 3 octave keyboard or by an attached MIDI controller, Streetlytron exposes every internal control to MIDI, allowing performance and recording without ever needing to touch your device. A gorgeous, silky-smooth, ultra-musical reverb unit generates immense spaces, and 8 programmable preset slots set you up for one-touch performance. Totally playable and totally inspiring, for everything from classic psychedelic, vintage progressive, modern chamber pop or avant-garde dance sounds. Virtual MIDI and AudioBus, with Inter-App Audio support provided by AudioBus. No In-App Purchases, no hidden extra costs. Pay once, never pay again. To keep this remarkable app as small as possible, the in-app samples are recorded at minor third intervals, and most in-app samples are looped for continuous play, with a loop duration of 5 seconds. This results in almost 5x reduction in app size**, yet has virtually no audible difference between this '63 Edition and the top-of-the-range Streetlytron Pro Edition. Sample replay within the app uses an advanced cubic spline interpolator, to delivery premium sonic quality.

This is an excellent representation of what the Mellotron sounded like. The Mellotron was a beast to work with. Each note played an eight second tape with three sounds on it. The sounds were changed by a control that allowed you to use one of the three channels. It was ungainly, it was heavy, it was divine.And in its day there was nothing like it. It sounded like a Lofi representation of whatever instrument or instruments that were being played. In this app, you get 60+ instruments and they are truly well sampled and sound very familiar to the real Mellotron. If you dared to tour with something like it, it would be very ungainly, the Mellotron and 20 tape sets that would have to be attached and would take God knows how long. So really this is a great, great Plug-in.I use it all the time. Mellotrons have been one of my favorite instruments since I can remember, and I’m obviously not alone. This collection is really good not only for the sound quality, but for the beautifully sampled instruments available. Highly recommended.

I’m old now, but all my life starting with the late 60’s I’ve dreamed of having a Mellotron. Not only was the price prohibitive, I’d heard there were issues with tape life and such. I couldn’t believe my ears with the 63’ collection. Total goosebumps! Surprisingly small memory footprint. I thank the developers for making this old hippie’s dream a reality! I can’t wait for my Bluetooth midi adapter to arrive so I can use an actual keyboard. One of the first things I did was phone a friend and play the intro to Court of the Crimson King. Now if I could find a calliope track...hint, hint!The sound quality is amazing, you won’t be disappointed!

If you lived in, or enjoy the classic sounds of the late 60’s, this Mellotron is what you want. Just a joy to use, and has all the original sounds faithfully reproduced since they came from the original instrument tapes. Interface is well laid out, and maps nicely to midi controls on keyboard. I would request that an update would support Bluetooth MIDI, so that my knobs and pads Akai wireless controller could be used. Thanks!
Splendid!

Having an affordable and great sounding Mellotron in your pocket and on your iPad seems too good to be true, but this incredible app does both. The addition of an amazing reverb adds a pad-like dimension to the sounds, and the fact that the developer will keep adding instruments for FREE makes this app a great value.
