Mike's Vintage Ambient

WARNING: Before downloading make sure you listen to the free XPress web edition (url below) and understand that this is an intentionally simple ambient sound-only app. Some people have been giving negative reviews for features of the app which are all made clear before purchase. It's primarily for listening to Mellotron notes as windchimes. The XPress web version found at the URL below accurately reflects what the app sounds like so listen to that first and if you don't like it don't buy it. The app is not free because you have to pay Apple annually to have the product in the store. It is set to the lowest price tier just to cover the expense of offering the app.

And now for the few remaining people who have gotten this far and are still interested...

Mike's Vintage Ambient (MiViAm) uses the classic sounds of a Mellotron and a Fender Rhodes to produce a simple yet richly textured soundscape of flutes, vibes, Hofner bass and electric piano. While the melodic notes drop in the foreground the quiet sound of vinyl crackles like a warm fireplace beneath. Painstaking attention has been given to the mix and it produces beautiful sounds whether through a home stereo, headphones or the internal speaker.

Because of the careful randomizing of sound elements MiViAm will effectively play indefinitely without repetition. It also features a 60 minute sleep timer and and a wake alarm.

note: The iPhone version uses uncompressed sound files - the XPress version uses compressed audio files.

What's new

Added Hoffner bass instrument.

Rebuilt vinyl loop to feature less crackling, more ambient dusty record sound. Removed vinyl muting option.

Adjusted timing to allow for greater variety in note grouping.

Restored original mono mix for better sonic blending / true ambient non-positional sound.

Optimized application load and exit times.
