Streetly Electronics Mellotron for iOS

The Streetlytron ’63 Edition : genuine Mellotronics for your iPhone and iPad.

Brought to you in partnership with Streetly Electronics, the inventors of the mellotron, Streetlytron includes a massive collection of 63 tapes from Streetly’s Production Masters – exactly the same tapes that ship with their $8,000 M4000 unit.

Playable with the on-screen 3 octave keyboard or by an attached MIDI controller, Streetlytron exposes every internal control to MIDI, allowing performance and recording without ever needing to touch your device. A gorgeous, silky-smooth, ultra-musical reverb unit generates immense spaces, and 8 programmable preset slots set you up for one-touch performance. Totally playable and totally inspiring, for everything from classic psychedelic, vintage progressive, modern chamber pop or avant-garde dance sounds.

Virtual MIDI, AudioBus and Inter-App Audio are supported.

No In-App Purchases, no hidden extra costs. Pay once, never pay again.

To keep this remarkable app as small as possible, the in-app samples are recorded at minor third intervals, and most in-app samples are looped for continuous play, with a loop duration of 5 seconds. This results in almost 5x reduction in app size*, yet has virtually no audible difference between this ’63 Edition and the top-of-the-range Streetlytron Pro Edition. Sample replay within the app uses an advanced cubic spline interpolator, to delivery premium sonic quality.

Mellotronics 3000 HD For iPad

NOTE – there are known problems with MIDI NoteOff on certain keyboards, and AudioBus when configured at 512 frames. Fixes for these have been with Apple SINCE AUGUST 30TH waiting for review – there seems to be an update logjam right now but we sincerely hope this new version will be with you inside a couple of days.

The comments about banks not being saved – there is a SAVE BANK button that saves the bank. A light flashes to warn you if a bank has been edited, and thus should be saved if you wish to preserve the information. User manual will be published as an iBook within a few days.

32 voicebanks each with 12 programmable chord pads.
