via Omenie comes this preview of Ellatron 1.3, the iPhone virtual Mellotron.:
Captured from the simulator, Ellatron now comes with chord banks. 16 banks, each bank holding Tape Frame settings and 8 chords. It’s now possible to program in a gig’s worth of material and settings into Ellatron, turning her into a real performance tool.
And she’s had her organs revamped – the 3 somewhat anaemic ones have been replaced by a tonewheeltastic, Hammondabulous, Booker T-licious collection of 5 glorious Tape Frames.
And yes, we too have noticed the deliberate mistake – I haven’t yet updated the control panel to indicate Ellatron v 1.3! Doh!! Must do that before releasing to store ….
If you’ve used Ellatron, leave a comment with your thoughts!

The Ellatron is a wonderful sounding instrument for the iphone and itouch. It's truly a bargain for the price. What I would love to see someday is a way to interface the iphone/itouch with a real remote (piano) keyboard controller. essentially turning the iphone/itouch into a synth module.
Neron – Phil here, from the Ellatron team. First thanks for the words of support, nice to know that people are enjoying the sounds we are making. We would love to be able to do this. If there were a generic USB to iPod interface connector it could definitely be done, and would turn the iPhone / iTouch into amazing portable, playable devices. You could even imagine docking an iPhone into a small keyboard to provide power. We have enough flexibility within the Ellatron engine to support velocity response and make the thing *amazingly* playable, but we need the peripheral interface to be available. Battery life should improve as well, without all the screen touches the backlight could be powered down, and the backlight is usually the most power-hungry part of these devices. So – if somebody builds the keyboard, we'll use it!!
I'd pay real money for an iPhone alphanumeric keyboard or a iPhone music keyboard or MIDI controller!
iPhone music software would get interesting real fast!
