Description

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, Cubasis, 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 95 modules, with new ones added with every update. The following are some examples from different categories.

- MIDI processors: arpeggiator, chord, Euclidean sequencer, note echo, note modifiers, scale, strummer.
- Synth building blocks: virtual-analog oscillator, FM operator, phaseshaping, noise, VA filter, amp envelope.
- Modulators: envelope follower, envelope generator, LFO, macro control, MIDI source, random.
- Audio effects: chorus, delay, distortion, flanger, phaser, dynamics processors, comb filter, EQ, stereo panner.
- Utilities: level and correlation metering, audio oscilloscope, MIDI capture, MIDI logger, notepad.

Mela can be loaded in a host as an Instrument, Audio Effect, or MIDI Processor plug-in. The only difference between them is the number of audio and MIDI inputs and outputs. Otherwise, all features are identical, and presets created in one type can be opened in another. Mela includes over 200 presets that showcase different ways to combine modules and shape your unique sound.

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.

Collection 0:
Amp Envelope, Arpeggiator, Audio In, Audio Out, Group, LFO, Meter, MIDI In, MIDI Out, MIDI-to-Poly, Notepad, Overlap Remover, Poly-to-Audio, Relative Pitch, Stereo Delay, Transposer, VA Filter, VA Oscillator, Volume.

Collection 1:

Collection 2:
Clipper, Comb Filter, DC Blocker, Degrader, EQ Band, Fixed Pitch, FM Operator, Macro, MIDI Capture, MIDI Channel, Oscilloscope, Pitch Oscilloscope, Pitch Ratio, Rectifier, Vibrato, Voice Activity, VPS Oscillator.

Mela's capabilities continuously improve, evolve and expand, driven by its long-term vision and user feedback. Feel free to get in touch for anything Mela-related.

What's new

Version: 6.12
Updated: 2025-11-06 11:23:01 UTC
VA Oscillator
- Merged the "Full-Wave Rectified Sine" and "Half-Wave Rectified Sine" waveforms into a single "Rectified Sine" that supports the Shape parameter, allowing it to smoothly morph between the two shapes.
- The "Alternating Sine" waveform now supports the Shape parameter, allowing it to smoothly morph from a pure sinusoid.
- Factory Presets: The new "G0 Euclid" and "Demo 6.12" presets in the Synth FX group showcase the new features.

MIDI Processors
- With this update, the transition to making the On parameter performance-oriented across all modules is now complete.
- The On parameter of the following modules is now more performance-oriented: Arpeggiator, Note Echo, Note Range, Scale, Strummer, and Quantiser.
- Each MIDI Processor uses the On parameter in a way that best suits the module's function.
- For example, the Arpeggiator retriggers the input chord when turned off, while the Quantiser simply stops quantising new notes.
- Note Range & Scale: Changing any parameter, including On, updates the output by releasing some held notes and triggering new ones as required.
- Chord Module: Fully rewritten internal logic, making the module more robust, especially when its parameters are modulated.
- Note Stack: Removed the redundant On parameter.
- Note Stack: The module no longer creates a note-on event for a note in the Wait stack if it's also going to be released in the same call as the note-on that freed a slot in the Play stack.
- Note Stack: The module no longer generates redundant note-on/off pairs when receiving multiple note-ons simultaneously.
- Note Length: Fixed an issue where the note length value didn't always initialise correctly.
- Arpeggiator: Fixed an issue in Chord mode where a note-off event could be generated for a new input note-on before it was sequenced.
- Transposer & Scale: Fixed a stuck note issue that could occur in certain edge cases.

Other Changes
- Stuck Notes: Adding, removing, or moving a module now forces all modules to reset, preventing stuck notes even while the preset is receiving note-on events.
- Amp Envelope: Fixed an issue in Mono mode where note-on events weren't detected correctly when Legato was enabled and multiple notes were received simultaneously.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when a modulator's last target module was removed from the preset.
- User Guide: Added the new "Module On Parameter" section to the Core Concepts chapter.
