Mela – AUv3: Synth, FX, MIDI

Description

DREAM UP AN INSTRUMENT, THEN BUILD IT Mela is a modular music-making tool that grows with you, from your first patch to deep custom designs. Create polyphonic synthesisers, unique audio effects, and complex MIDI processors. Mela runs standalone on iOS and macOS, or as an AUv3 plug-in inside your favourite DAW, including Ableton Live, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo, and Logic Pro. EVERYTHING IS A MODULE In Mela, there are no virtual cables to untangle. Instead, a patch is a tree of nested modules, where modules process their submodules in series or parallel. The layout of your patch is its signal flow. Everything moves with a drag, and a patch can stay tiny or grow into a deeply nested design. MEET THE MODULES Each module is focused yet powerful, and built-in help lets you quickly learn how it works. Here is a quick tour. • MIDI processors: arpeggiator, chord, Euclidean sequencer, groove, note echo, note modifiers, quantiser, scale, strummer, MIDI capture. • Synth building blocks: virtual-analog oscillator, FM operator, phaseshaping, noise, glide, unison, VA filter, amp envelope. • Modulators: envelope generator, envelope follower, LFO, mod sequencer, XY pad, macro control, random. • Audio effects: reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, distortion, ring mod, dynamics, EQ, pitch and frequency shifters, stereo tools. • Visualisers: level and correlation metering, oscilloscopes, MIDI logger, notepad. The full module list is at the very end. MODULATE ANY PARAMETER Every module parameter in Mela can be targeted by modulator modules with sample-accurate, polyphonic modulation. The full parameter tree is also exposed to the DAW for automation. YOUR FIRST PATCH Load Mela as an Instrument, an Audio Effect, or a MIDI Processor, then take your pick: over 200 included patches to play, pull apart, and learn from, or a blank patch and total freedom. PAY ONCE, OWN FOREVER Mela ships with 112 modules and counting, organised into collections. Collection 0 is free and has everything you need to learn how Mela works. The rest are single purchases. A patch that uses modules you do not own still plays in full. Locked modules process signals as normal, and a purchase simply unlocks their controls. SAY HELLO Wondering if Mela can do something specific? Just ask. Questions often become short demo videos, and feature requests help guide what gets added next. Say hello, ask anything, and help shape where Mela goes next.

Time Scrub - The new Time Scrub module is an audio delay that lets you jump to any point in its tempo-synced buffer using Position. - Sync parameter defines the buffer length using tempo-synced values from 1/64 to 4 bars, including triplet and dotted options. - Position parameter selects where to read within the buffer: at −100%, the output is delayed by the full Sync duration, while at 0%, it follows the live input. - Modulating Position changes the playback speed. Ramping from −100% to 0% speeds up the audio, while ramping from 0% to −100% can slow down, hold, or reverse playback. - Stepped modulation can create beat repeats. - With Position held steady, playback stays at 1×. - The Rate readout displays the playback rate resulting from Position movement. - Factory Patches: Added "Time Origami" and "Repeat Rush" to the Audio FX folder, demonstrating how the Time Scrub module can be used for playback speed changes and beat repeats. - Factory Patches: Added "Tape Stop" to the Audio FX folder, demonstrating how Note Event can trigger a tape-stop effect using Time Scrub. - Time Scrub is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 5. Musical Keyboard - Added the Scroll Lock button, bringing back the behaviours available before Mela 5.1. - When enabled, sliding between notes plays the keys under the fingers. - When disabled, the keyboard scrolls horizontally while holding notes. - Octave Up and Down buttons now dim and become disabled at the corresponding edge. - Fixed missing plus signs and incorrect octave values at the end of the keyboard. - Fixed an issue on iOS 27 where keys would only trigger notes after sliding a finger. Other Changes - Mod Steps: MIDI mode now more accurately displays the value produced when modulating velocity and CC parameters. - Vel-to-Amp: Range is now bipolar from -60 to +60 dB, allowing higher velocities to be quieter than lower velocities. - Pitch-to-Amp: The module graduated from Mela Lab and can now be found under the Audio Processor category. - Matrix: The module graduated from Mela Lab and can now be found under the Signal Router category. - Factory Patches: Added "Classic Trance" to the Leads folder. - Remote Views: Fixed layout issues across different control configurations.
