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! 😊

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.

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。

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!

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.

Leider nicht mehr in GarageBand aufrufbar als externes Instrument

… und deswegen für mich nutzlos geworden ..-

Excellent sound - now usable as an AUV3!

This is a very good recreation of the sound of a melodica, which with the inbuilt reverb and delay, is capable of easily producing those plaintive sobs and brass-ish stabs featured in dub music. And now, after a long wait, it is a proper AUV3 and so completely usable as an instrument inside AUM. Note that during installation I 1) opened it standalone and 2) had to soft reboot my iPad before AUM could find it, but now it does, and those lovely, lovely plaintive sobs are fully available, Great to see a dev persevere and make their instrument better and more usable. :)

Problems

I’m don’t want to rate this too low, because it’s just been updated. But it’s not showing up in Cubasis or AUM, and the sound level is barely audible. So I’ll give it a 3 and hope it gets fixed.

No audio unit or inter app audio support

Nice enough app but without this basic functionality it makes it impossible to use with any sort of recording app such as GarageBand or Cubasis. Please add this.

Problema

Esta app se queda trabada con un sonido muy agudo aunque no lo estes tocando

Found so

When playing music at iPhone x and newest its get out of the app
Please create some thinks to not get out from it

Decent sound and Dynamics but...

... Please, please, please can't you enable this app to work with other music apps in the background??

Muy. Mala. No se escucha

Fatal. Un. Robo

Sustain please

Please add a sustain feature so I can set it to drone

Lacks Midi and MP3 and recording

The app is ok, but lacks the crucial function of midi to hook up external midi-keyboard and the ability to play over tracks from mp3. That would make the app amazing as a tool for practicing melodica.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. I'll be adding play from external midi keyboard. Mp3 playback is also a possibility.

Unterstützt leider keine Midicontroller

Also die App ist schon super. Sound ist super usw, dich leider funktioniert die App nicht mit meinem midikeyboard (akai lpk25). Wenn man das ändern würde hätte die App 5Sterne

It doesn’t work

Breath is doing nothing, and all keys go off at once and won’t stop even if I’m not touching it.

needs selectable rotation

The app forces rotation that is "upside down" on my iPad Air -- makes it effectively left-handed if I want to use breath-control. Need option to select rotation.

本物みたい!

画面の鍵盤を押さえて、マイクに息を吹きかけると音が出る。
本物の鍵盤ハーモニカを吹いてるみたいで面白い!
ただ、iPad miniでは画面が回転しないので鍵盤とマイクの位置が反対になって使えないのが残念!!

sweet little ap

Short keyboard, but sounds just like a melodica. Can adjust reverb, touch sensitivity and a couple of other things that I haven't tried yet. It is fun to fool around with, but could actually be used to accompany other music. Sounds very Parisienne. ... And ...you don't have to turn blue breathing into the little tube like you do on a real melodica.

Love it.
