Nikolozi has updated Mela, available as a FREE download with optional in-app purchase Collections, each still currently available for $14.99, (usually $24.99 each).
What’s new in version 7.7:
- XY Modulator
- The XY module is a manual two-axis modulator that generates two independent Mod signals from the X and Y parameters in the [0%, 100%] range.
- Similar to CC Modulator, each target can be configured to use either the X or Y value as the source
- XY is part of Collection 5 and is listed under the Modulator category
- Modulators
- XY Control: Added a modulation indicator
- Edit Modulation: Modulator sources can now be set directly for CC Modulator and XY modules
- CC Modulator: Simplified how source parameter values are stored in presets
- Macro Button: Fixed an issue where modulation applied only to a single voice
- Updated the symbol for the Modulator category
- Remotes:
- Added a quick way to assign or remove parameters as remotes on ancestor Group or Stack modules via the parameter actions menu.
- Added a Remove action to the remote control actions menu
- Internal parameters can now be assigned to remotes
- Global parameters for polyphony and atency can now be assigned to remotes or the Global remote view.
- Other Changes
- Stereo Delay: The module is now slightly more compact.
- MIDI Logger: Improved the UI.
- Internal: Refactored parameter and value handling.
Mela is a modular music-making tool that scales with your needs. With its intuitive interface, you can seamlessly build fully custom polyphonic synthesisers, unique audio effects, and complex MIDI processors. Mela can run as a standalone app on iOS and macOS or as an AUv3 plug-in inside your favourite DAW such as AUM, Drambo, Logic Pro and many more.
In Mela, presets are constructed using modules arranged on lanes, where signals flowing through the lanes are processed by the modules. Audio and MIDI signals can be sent and received to and from the host or routed between lanes using internal buses. Modulator modules can target any module parameter on any lane. Lanes and modules are easily added, removed, or rearranged, allowing you to design presets as simple or complex as needed. Mela comes with 76 modules, with new ones added with every update. The following are some examples from different categories.
Mela can be loaded inside a host as one of the following plug-in types: Instrument, Audio Effect or MIDI Processor. The only difference is the number of audio and MIDI inputs and outputs. Otherwise, the features are identical, and a preset created in one type can be opened by another.
Modules are organised into collections. Collection 0 is free, allowing you to test out Mela’s features. Other collections can be purchased via in-app purchases. The following is a list of all modules.
