Mela Classic (AUv3) 3.9.3

It is essential to clarify that this is the classic version of Mela. Users seeking the modern iteration should note that it is available as a separate application on the App Store, receiving frequent updates and new features that might be worth considering.

Mela serves as an intuitive virtual analog synthesizer and multi-effects processor, boasting a user-friendly interface. It operates seamlessly as an instrument, audio effect, or MIDI processor plug-in within host applications like AUM, BeatMaker, Cubasis, GarageBand, Ableton Live, or Logic Pro.

One notable feature is the continuity it offers when moving projects between devices. If you initiate a track in Logic Pro on your iPad and subsequently open it on your Mac, all instances of the Mela Classic plug-ins will load exactly as they were left on your iOS device.

Synth Audio Unit Plug-in (AUv3)

• Four high-quality oscillators
• Two virtual analog-style filters
• Three envelopes with adjustable level, time, and curve parameters
• Envelope modes: sustain, trigger, and loop
• Three tempo-syncable LFOs
• Effects include distortion, phaser, chorus, flanger, delay, and compressor
• A comprehensive modulation matrix
• Flexible signal routing options
• Voice modes: monophonic, polyphonic, legato, and glide

Multi-FX Audio Unit Plug-in (AUv3)

• Input section with pan and level controls
• Two virtual analog-style filters
• Effects: distortion, phaser, chorus, flanger, delay, and compressor
• Three tempo-syncable LFOs
• Envelope follower with peak and RMS modes
• The follower can be driven by the audio unit's normal input or side chain
• A fully featured modulation matrix
• Flexible signal routing options
• Global dry/wet mix and bypass controls

MIDI Processor Audio Unit Plug-in (AUv3)

• This MIDI plug-in includes various MIDI processor modules that can be arranged in any sequence across up to four lanes.
• Each lane facilitates receiving and sending MIDI to the host through distinct virtual MIDI cables.
• The modules can be creatively combined to form intricate MIDI processor chains.
• The LFO and Random modules can modulate any parameter.
• MIDI Modules: Arpeggiator, Chord, Control Change, Note Echo, Note Length, Pitch Range, Pitch, Scale, Strummer, and Velocity.
• Modulator Modules: LFO and Random.
• Utility Modules: Logger and Panic.

Oscillators

• A standard array of saw, sine, square, and triangle waveforms.
• The ability to morph between waveforms or distort them using a shape parameter.
• A modern phase distortion algorithm complemented by an additional harmonics parameter for richer waveform generation.
• The noise oscillator produces a warmer sound than pure white noise.
• Additional features: transposition, tuning, pan, and level controls.

Filters

• A variety of self-oscillating resonant filters provide excellent sound quality.
• The ability to morph between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass configurations enhances flexibility.

Modulation Matrix

• The Mela synth and effect both come equipped with a comprehensive modulation matrix capable of modulating most parameters.
• Sources for modulation include envelope generators, an envelope follower, and LFOs; MIDI sources like velocity and pitch bend are also supported.
• The matrix accommodates both positive and negative modulation intensities for greater control.

Routing

• The routing of oscillators to filters can be executed in five distinct configurations.
• The FX section can be inserted before filter 1, after it, or after both filters to suit user preferences.
