Please fix it!!! ### 4/5 — AUV3 please *2020-06-22, version 1.4.1* Very good but would be better with AUV3 ### 3/5 — Hard to use in studio sessions *2019-11-10* GREAT sound emulation. But. It’s not very user friendly. I find it difficult to use in studio sessions, and would like to be able to set it up with my keyboard via MIDI. The scrolling is a bit weird. I think the design could be better, so users can do things on the fly without having to scramble. But the sound is really something. I enjoy it. I just can’t use this in my studio. ### 3/5 — Sounds great but... *2018-03-02* This app sounds really good but without Inter app midi (virtual midi) it is not very useful. Also why bother to implement a pitch wheel that goes back to the center when you let go. Kinda strange. 5 stars with those features. ### 3/5 — Mellotron rules! *2018-01-10, version 1.4.1* Ottima!!! Finalmente midi!!! ### 4/5 — Very Accurate Sounding *2017-02-03* By leaving the tape hiss on every sample and including optional motor and mechanical click sounds, this is hands down the most accurate Mellotron app on iOS. Only slight bummer is that only seven sounds are featured, but they're definitely the most commonly used (3 violins, flute, cello, etc). M3000 has more sounds (both from the start and with in app purchases) but lacks a lot of the character that made the Mellotron an incredibly special instrument (though to be fair, it's still a great app). If I had to choose one, the authenticity of Manetron edges out M3000, but I still use both. ### 4/5 — Warts and all *2017-01-25* This app is the best sounding Mellotron I've heard yet. Cool mechanical and tape warble sounds that you can veritably add or subtract give this app a pretty authentic sound. Wish list: more choir racks, midi programmable pitch tone volume knobs. ... but these are minor details. This is a great app ### 4/5 — November 2016 *2016-11-16* Nearly perfect, just needs the pitch wheel to not snap back to centre as this stops the user from fine tuning the over all pitch/playing with the pitch sitting at + or - the centre snap point. ### 3/5 — 前のmanetronの音色のほうがいい *2016-10-23* 今まで使ってたマネトロン音色気に入ってたのに起動せず、すぐ落ちてしまう。super manetronに前のmanetronの音色を是非とも入れてほしい。 ### 2/5 — 音は好きだけど *2016-08-18* 鍵盤が動いて弾きづらいです。 ### 3/5 — Love the sound, needs MIDI update *2016-03-18, version 1.4* I would love to give this 5 stars, but please give me some control over MIDI. The app only receives OMNI channels, at least make it receive on channel 1 only, or give me some controls. I can't use the app if it receives all channels. ### 3/5 — 良い音色なのですが *2015-12-26* ピッチが良くなってから、深みがなくてこのアプリしか出なかった音色ではなくなりました。 色々な意見があると思いますから是非旧バージョンのピッチを選択できるようにして頂けないでしょうか？ よろしくお願いします。 ### 5/5 — Brings the fabled Mellotron sounds to iOS music makers with stunning results *2015-11-22* I was raised by my Dad's music. He was born in 1950, 17 years old when Sgt. Pepper was released, and he turned me on to his vinyl collection as a kid I took to it like most kids do with cartoons. As I grew up, began making music and setting up home recording studios, if there was a sound that I was looking for from those records of the 60's era it could be had fairly easily. Except for the Mellotron. That was its own animal and no flute sound eq'd and slathered with reverb was going to really cop it right. I have heard a few virtual instruments with Mellotron patches but it was not until this app that I really felt "that's it". The 'other' Mellotron app on the App Store is okay, but Manetron just seems to capture that funky hollowness that a real Melllo had. The ability to bring the mechanical noises in is cool and the layout is simple and very authentic. If you dig the sounds of the Mellotron: the flutes, the wavy choirs, the weird and wonderful strings, then you need to get this app. Incredible, the devs should be proud for making this... ### 5/5 — Very Cool! *2015-10-31, version 1.3.3* I'm pleased with where this going. You really can't complain with all the work & feel that's created in this app. ### 5/5 — Was a great app, but not working *2015-10-28* Doesn't work on my phone anymore (iPhone 6 plus, the one before the 6s Plus). The app closes itself immediately upon launch. ### 3/5 — 立ち上がらなくなりました *2015-10-21* iPhone6sではタイトル画面が出てくるとすぐに落ちてしまいます。因みに前のバージョンも同様です。iPad miniでは立ち上がりました。早急な改善をお願いします。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — audiobus非対応 *2020-01-03* オルガンのアプリは対応してるのに... ### 1/5 — No virtual midi *2017-11-27* Poor. core midi only, really? This could be so much more useful with more development ### 1/5 — バグ？ *2015-05-05* 音が演奏途中で突然鳴らなくなったり、短くなったりします。 使えません。 修正お願いします！ ### 1/5 — Could have been 5 stars... *2014-12-04, version 1.2.3* Sadly, Audiobus is totally broken on this app, due to a conflict between Apple's iOS8+, and Audiobus itself, which makes it quite useless really. It's a pretty old app, so one can't really hope it will be fixed, but one also feels "ripped off", since a defective product has essentially been purchased. Not recommend. ### 1/5 — Awful *2014-02-17* Notes cut off when you don't want them too and you can't adjust the env etc and if ya can it's impossible to find how to, awful app ;-x ### 1/5 — Unusable in a mix due to tuning! *2013-09-28* "'Out of tune' - Yes. We know" Then you're fools to think that anyone is going to use this app in their recordings. Nobody cares that it's an "authentic" recreation of your old Mellotron with its badly adjusted tape speed control. We just want an instrument that sounds nice in a mix. 99.9% of listeners will not be able to tell that the pitch has been altered from the original by a few cents. You already have a pitch dial, at the very least make it so it stays at the chosen pitch rather than snapping back to "out of tune". ### 1/5 — Geld nicht wert *2013-08-09, version 1.2* Für ein App aus dem Jahr 2013 kann das App - bezogen auf den Preis - viel zu wenig! Es gibt nur wenige Sounds, und die sind teilweise wesentlich kürzer als die versprochenen 7 Sekunden. Ich rate von dem App ab! ### 1/5 — mechanical noise ruins it *2013-03-09* The sample set is really great-BUT-the recreation of the mechanical sound of the tape motors, while authentic, distracts from the enjoyment or usability. The volume control for "mechanical noise" does nothing to alleviate this on my iphone. If one were to record this-heavy use of a noise gate would be needed! As a previous reviewer said-this sound would be heard from the keyboard case-not on the audio outs. Such a shame for a very good mellotron app. ### 1/5 — Background noise *2013-03-05, version 1.0* Big mistake not being able to turn off the background noise - it's very annoying and would NOT be part of the audio output of a real Mellotron - would only be heard in the room. Changing the mechanical sound volume doesn't turn down the background whirring. Please correct this ASAP! ### 2/5 — Entire app is out of tune *2016-11-10, version 1.4* The sounds themselves are fine until you introduce other instruments and realize the entire app is 9 or 10 cents sharp. I realize it emulates a vintage piece of gear but this is pretty much useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Mellotron Sound *2025-01-29* This app sounds closest to a Mellotron than any I have used and for a reasonable price. Excellent value for the money! ### 5/5 — モーター音 *2023-11-13* 音楽制作だと場合によっては邪魔かもしれないけど、鍵盤に繋いで演奏するとテンションが上がる。Hammond 起動の時みたいで良い。市販の物もいくつか買ったがキークリックはあるけどモーター音はなかった。あと、押し続けると止まるのもあまり再現されていないようだった。音は綺麗だけど、古い機種を弾いていると言う満足感ではこのソフトが1番良かった。 ### 5/5 — All analog (one exception) *2022-06-22* I run an all analog recording studio and every piece of gear in the studio is vintage and analog. No sampling or triggering or plugins or auto tune. Just hardware tools. Except for this one sampler which does such a fantastic job of emulating the real mellotron! This is one instrument that it has always made sense to me to sample since the mellotron itself is nothing but a very archaic sampler without any sort of special dynamics to capture. I think that Manetron took the right path by not correcting all of the eccentricities of the original instrument like the pitchiness and the short length of the original tape samples. The sound blends in so nicely with the other instruments in a track and lends some serious character whether mixed up front or tucked way back where it can really pass as a string section with the right arrangement. Been using it for almost a decade now. No complaints here! ### 5/5 — incredible!! *2018-12-23* This app sounds great, especially if you run it through one of the amp emulators built into Garageband. Best mellotron app i’ve found; i just wish there were more instrument options to choose from. ### 5/5 — An amazing tool for recording and live performances *2018-08-02* I’ve been using this for recording and live performance for years now. Incredibly useful and accurate. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — おすすめ *2017-01-26* 音楽制作に使えます。 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2016-10-03* Très bonne app, simple d'utilisation et des sons qui nous ramènent dans les vielles séries des années 70. Pour le prix, je suis vraiment impressioné du résultat. ### 5/5 — 夢が叶った *2016-09-27* シンプルながら素晴らしいアプリです。 メロトロンを弾いてみたいという夢が叶いました。 ### 5/5 — A mellotron inside my iPad *2016-08-01* This thing sounds like the real deal based on recordings (does an excellent "Watcher of the Skies"!), and looks good too. Also quite simple to use, and responds well to MIDI, allowing me to bring some mellotron into my songs a bit easier than using the on-screen keyboard, which isn't bad itself. It hasn't crashed yet (been using it years now), and the built in reverb and control over motor/tape clicking noises is a very nice touch. An excellent buy for anybody interested in the legendary mellotron! ### 5/5 — Beautiful vintage sounds!!!! *2016-02-20, version 1.4* Beautiful vintage sounds!!!! Love it!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
