Re: [newmellotrongroup] Ipad and the Mellotron

It's all relative. A Nord piano is pretty good and I max out personally well before it, I use and SG1D. i know a 14 year old kid that a Nord would hold back if he practicesd on it, He can play things he can't pronounce.. He plays very we,l whether he has any taste , I don't know but that's probably relative too.

Hi Gino,

I did buy it and I think it's great value fro money. I bought the ipad as I have to do a lot of travelling soon and I wanted something light and portable to create music. I have a tron but it needs about 100 hours of work doing and for now it will have to wait. The M3000 sounds good, can play 2 voices at once and the chord feature is great for those of us that can't play ie me, and allows you to do a type of split keyboard. I like M-tron pro but it is much more expensive and although it can do layers I would have thought it should have done splits as well.

I like your analogy about acoustic vs virtual piano but I think a lot depends on price, good acoustic pianos cost a lot of money, you can buy one of the Nord keyboards and get reasonable pianos and lots of other voices besides. A Steinway grand is expensive.

I don't think I'll ever be serious. :)

Get the M3000. It comes with all of IPad protocols that make it modern recording compatable Audiobus and all thet.. The difference is similar to an acoustic piano vs a digital one. You can get by with it until it is time to get serious..

May things get serious for you

best

It's very good value for money Martin, I'm very impressed. if one has the ipad already it must be the best value for money of anything which isn't a real tron.


thanks
