Magical Melodica!

Discovered this when I was exploring Garage Band & saw it mentioned. I’d never even heard of a Melodica before, & had to google what it sounds like! I decided it sounded like something that would work well in a music project, & downloaded it. It sounds very much like a harmonica, & with its configurable reverb & delay it produces beautifully expressive sounds. I’ve seen some comments about it being very quiet (mine isn’t!) & not having the facility to pitch-bend, but if you use it with a DAW like Garage Band or Cubasis 3 you can bend the pitch to your heart’s content. It’s one of my favourite lead instruments, & I love it. Many thanks to the developers! 😊

Thank you for your feedback. Great to hear you are enjoying Melodica!

Yes!

I suddenly thought, would it be great if such an app existed. After a quick trip of 2 others watch were virtually unusable I found this. It’s perfect. The fact that it has perfect effects for the Pablo sound is the icing on the cake. Well done whoever you are. And thank you.

Response from developer

Glad to hear that!

AUv3に対応されてはいますが

鍵盤を押して、マイクに息を吹きかけると音が鳴るというので購入しましたが、これって必要ある機能でしょうか? 音源が多ければまだしも、そういうこともないし、音楽制作に使えるかどうかというと、チョット…
お遊びっぽい感じしかしないのは私だけでしょうか?
せめて、もっと音源を増やして頂きたいです。

Response from developer

As well as screen keyboard and breath, it's possible to play Melodica via a bluetooth keyboard or any midi keyboard connect to WiFi. That's all the sources possible really.

Too quiet to enjoy

The sound is very appealing, except there is no perceivable volume control. I see where a review that was posted a year ago reported the same issue. If it’s a user issue, then some sort of in-app FAQ or other instructional help would suffice. Otherwise, please pump up the volume!

Response from developer

A fix for this recent issue, (the review you refer to was 1 month ago) will be available shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Volume?

I have an iPhone and was using this app in the past. With recent updates there’s no volume. No matter how much I turn up the volume you can’t hear it through the speaker. The sound is really low. Not sure what happened but the app is useless if I can’t hear the sound.

A fix for this recent issue will be available shortly. Thank you for your patience.
