I've finally succumbed and bought an ipad. So which mellotron do I get? The m3000 Streetly or the cheaper Mellotron?
I'm also wanting to connect a midi keyboard anyone have advice or tips?
Thanks in advance

I have bought the m3000 and it sounds pretty good. I am pretty sure I will be able to send the output to GarageBand via audiobus. I need to sort the midi keyboard but I am fairly confident.

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.

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. :)

I have an M-Tron Pro with both Streetly tapes. Can anyone think of a reason to add this too?
