The Mellotron Group

Yes it's true.
 
While on a badly needed vacation I got to thinking. What kind of instrument 
 would best benefit from porting into the iPad. The Melodica!
 
I have just about finished up the design for the breath interface that will 
 allow you to actually blow into the iPad while depressing the keys on the  
screen. It really is amazing! The only drawback was that since you can't  
actually feel the keys like on a real Melodica, it is difficult to know where 
 they are. To resolve this, I have come up with a little clip on mirror as 
a  training tool.
 
This week I will begin working in the studio to digitally sample several  
Melodicas, including the HM-26, 27 & 32 Piano models, The HM-36 Professional  
and the HM-900 Soprano and 901 Alto Melodicas. We are working out a 
software  algorithm that will allow for the subtleties of breathing in and out of 
the  breath interface and to sense wind force and expression.
 
Because of the complexity of this undertaking, we have decided to  
temporarily shelve the porting the Birotron to the iPad.
 
I have been in touch with Honor about joint-venturing this product but they 
 have declined any involvement. We have agreed not to use the Melodica name 
other  than to identify what it is. The name under which we intend to 
market the  product is...
