Not restoring purchases

It’s not letting me restore my purchases for the pro.

Update:
It’s fixed and it sounds good.

Request

It needs Background Audio.

Good Start for first build

Should’ve named it “MelloSound” instead, dropping the “W” altogether. Capital M&S.
Needs a split keyboard.
More Instruments and Choir voices.
Mix between 2 different Instruments.

Still a very good Mellotron emulator!

Response from developer

The update with two instruments mixed is now available, please install it and enjoy!

App keeps crashing in GarageBand ** UPDATE: FIXED!**

Great sounding app but every time I keep trying to use it in GB either through IAA or using Audiobus it keeps crashing. Re-installed it and it still crashes. Can’t get any audio recorded.

**Update: With the latest update the problem with GB crashes and with Audiobus have been fixed making this one of my favorite apps right now! Thanks for the quick fix and I’ve changed my review accordingly. Hope to see new sounds available soon!

We have worked again on IAA and virtual MIDI and now it works fine with GarageBand, AUM or Cubase. A new update 1.0.3 will be available in a few days.

These sounds are epic

Quality over quantity is what this app is about. The sounds are great and I want to thank the designers for not resting on their laurels by continuing to make improvements. I’m looking forward to Au3 capabilities like I looked forward to Derek’s Blue Steel.

not too bad, some missing features

love the effects, but it would be great to be able to blend two sounds like most mellotron apps. Also being able to choose the midi channel (it seems to be on omni mode)

Very good depending on what you want from it

I downloaded the streetley free app a few years ago, but it was poor compared to this. £3.99? Absolute bargain if all you want is a reasonable sounding Tron from your iPad. Probably not good if you want more professional usage. But it’s £3.99! The female choir sounds more like the 8 voice and would have preferred the 3 violins, but......it’s £3.99! I haven’t used the free streetley one for some time as it was so bad. This is a considerable step up. And did I mention it was £3.99?

Serious battery life drain in background!

This sounds amazing, even through the iPhone speaker. However, there is a SERIOUS BUG - according to the Battery control panel in my iOS 12 7 Plus, when this app was in the background, it was a huge battery drain, responsible for 48% of the total drain while the phone was idle (the next highest was 15% for Facebook.) Developers, consider this filing a bug!

The update 1.0.4 fix the battery issue and is available, please install it, as it will fix your issue. Thanks!

This should be a plug-in for GarageBand

Not sure what to do with this if I don’t use a midi output source into a separate DAW

No blending?

I’ll change the number of stars if I’m wrong. But how can there be no blending of sounds with a Mellotron emulator? Regretting the purchase.
