Hey guys,
I don't know if youve heard of augustus pablo but he rips the melodica. Im trying to get a melodica sound in Ableton live. Can anyone send me in the right direction with this?
This is a cover of augustus pablo. Help would be appreciated thanks guys

If you use Ableton, Boomstix made a multisample

You could just buy a melodica. They're only about £20.

Plus the expression it's possible to get means it would be hard to replicate.

I would offer to break out mine and jam on it for you but it looks like youve got it taken care of

Definitely buy one, such fun little instruments. So cheap too.

although you do run into other issues when buying one i.e being able to record it well, but they are cheap so worth getting one.

If you do decide you want the real thing, the 70s pablo model is a Hohner piano 26 (the grey one)

I'd say buy one!
really fun for jamming on

^ definitely. also a melodica's sound is so inherently bandpassed, it's not like you absolutely need a $4,000 mic to capture it well.
