Response from developer

Apparently you didn't read the description of the app before buying it, where it says specifically that the app is a MIDI controller and doesn't make sound, and bought this app instead of the Hohner Melodeon Pro app, which is probably the one you actually wanted. Unfortunately, that app requires iOS 10, so it will not run on your iPad. I suggest you request a refund from Apple and next time try reading the description of the apps you purchase before buying them, then posting negative reviews.

Money back please

I want my money back

Please read the description before buying - it's a MIDI controller for other synth apps

Please read the description before buying - it's a MIDI controller for other synth apps - I keep seeing negative reviews that say "The app makes no sound" or "No hace ningun sonida". That's absolute right. This version of the Melodeon app family is a MIDI controller. It doesn't make any sound on its own. It says so right in the app description. This app is used for controlling other CoreMIDI-compliant MIDI synthesizer apps like ThumbJam and Sample Tank, those apps make the sound, this app is for playing them. It's exactly like using an external MIDI keyboard controller to play a synth program running on the iPad, except in this case, the controller is virtual, running on the iPad itself. The app just sends control signals to whatever synth app you run on the iPad along with this app. If you want an app that makes accordion sounds on its own, you should be buying one of the other Hohner Melodeon apps, not this one. Please take the time to read the description before buying.
