Audiolatry have updated Mel-Lofi to version 2 which includes new features and a new interface. Mel-Lofi is still available as a FREE download.
What’s new in version 2:
- The GUI has changed to make room for new features; we took advantage of the opportunity and tried to make it more attractive
- Added 4 completely new effects were added: delay, chorus, distortion with cabinet emulation, and reverb (different from the previous reverb
- The background fx layers remain the same but they have new volume sliders and icons
- Added a velocity knob, allowing you to play as usual with velocity sensitivity enabled, but also with fixed velocity like the original real instrument. The fixed velocity can be adjusted
- The plugin now has 24 multi-sampled presets, with one more than the previous version. The preset is called Octave Strings and emulates old tape strings
IMPORTANT: If you have projects created with version, please note down your preset names before upgrading. You can have both versions installed on your computer.
Mel-Lofi is a virtual instrument is based on the Mellotron multi-samples recorded by Taijiguy (+ 1 “invented” preset) and brings a total of 24 presets distributed across 5 main instrument categories.
All the samples were slightly edited and most important, were looped for best playability. But even so, the sound remains rough and lo-fi, Audiolatry wanted to keep the feel and sound of the original instrument.
As an extra, Audiolatry added 4 original effect layers: vinyl, radio noise, mechanical belt noise, and rain. They each have on/off buttons and volume sliders, also they’re labeled with their corresponding note on the keyboard.
The interface is easy to use and understand, coming with global volume & pan, a velocity knob, attack/decay envelope, cutoff filter, modulation section, and effects such as delay, chorus, distortion with cabinet, and reverb.
Mel-Lofi can be used in Lo-Fi Hip Hop, Ambient, Chillout, Pop, EDM, and other similar styles.
