Melody Violin (toy)

Melody Violin packaging

The Melody Violin toy (メロディバイオリン Merodi Baiorin) is a toy replica of the Melody Violin from the original Tamagotchi! anime series. It was released exclusively in Japan in October 2010 for 4,730¥. The toy was rereleased again in March 2012 as the Kirakira Melody Violin (キラキラメロディバイオリン) to reflect the violin's new appearance from "Melody Revived".

Appearance

There are three buttons on the violin's body; select, confirm, and cancel. There are also eight rubber buttons on the neck of the violin, and an on/off switch at the back. The violin works by the user moving the bow back and forth across the roller switch in the middle, which has a soft rubber covering. The toy requires 3 AA-size batteries.

Features

• Melody Play A Mode: Choose a song and the tune will automatically play at the tempo the bow is moved on the roller. Any of the 15 songs can be played in this mode.
• Melody Play B Mode: Similar to Melody Play A Mode, except in this mode, background music is played and only 7 songs are available, all being from the Tamagotchi! series.
• Performance Mode: Users can play their own tune by holding down the buttons on the neck of the violin and moving the bow over the roller.
• Scoring Mode: Similar to Melody Play A Mode, except Melodytchi will tell the user how accurate their tempo was.
  • Instrument Melody Play: Exclusive to the Kirakira Melody Violin, replacing the Scoring Mode. It allows the violin to sound like other instruments.
• Minigames: Users can play the Left-to-Right game (Slide the bow left or right according to Melodytchi's instructions) or the Do-Re-Mi Memory game (press the correct buttons that Melodytchi says while playing the violin). The Kirakira Melody Violin has two new minigames called Melody Lesson and Rhythm Lesson replacing the previous games.
• Volume: The user can choose from three different volume levels. Volume 2 is default and is reset each time the Melody Violin is turned off and on again.
