Sound issue

Glitchy and distorted sound on iPhone X renders it unusable- an expensive waste of money if that’s the only idevice you have. Also doesn’t support the X screen.

Response from developer

Hi. We are sorry you had to experience this extremely annoying bug but are pleased to announce that a new version that solves this is available on AppStore! We also added Core Midi. Enjoy! /Mellotron Team

Sounds distorted

Doesn’t seem to work with iPhone 8 - distorted, and doesn’t respond to any kind of output adapter.

Distorted

The distortion is as loud as the instruments. Yay have fun with my money!

On iPhone 7s; iOS 11.1.2

If this is fixed, I’d be more than happy to revise my review.

Distorted

Audio is distorted

No midi=no use

The sounds are great, but not being able to play using an external keyboard via midi pretty much renders the instrument useless.

Distortion

On iOS 10.3.3 (iPhone 6sPlus) the sound is badly distorted both through the internal speaker and through headphones, no matter what volume the app or phone is set to.

New version....still distorted

I was very excited to see the new version released because the potential for this app is huge. However, I was very disappointed to learn the audio output continues to be distorted.

Great app but it's been abandoned

The sound stopped working for me after a few weeks and I get a message saying the developers need to update. Total waste of money.

Great for simple purposes

It's not the M400, nor theM4000D or even G-Force's MTron Pro. But if you have other software and hardware synths and want to infuse your track with vintage flavor (or put up a vintage flavored tree), this cheap little vst has all the ornaments and trimmings you need (basic as they are) to make it sparkle. Not a bad synth if all you need are the most popular Mellotron and Chamberlain tape-presets.
#~ I would like to add that I agree with other reviewers that it needs midi implementation so it can be controlled externally. Also a plug-in option and DAW integration would be nice. I can use it as an external sound module fed into my DAW but that's a bit of a hassle.

No sound

Downloaded onto my iPhone 6 but no sound and no obvious way to ask for support. I had a previous version on my old phone and it worked fine but very disappointed with this.
