Mela – AUv3: Synth, FX, MIDI 4+

Collection 4
- Mela's modular capabilities are expanded by introducing Collection 4 with powerful new modules for advanced sound design.
- The centrepiece is the Sublane module, enabling nested processing for flexible signal routing.
- Also included are the MIDI Delay and Note Pulse modules, adding temporal and rhythmic control to your MIDI.
- Modules like Delay and Feedback let you create custom multi-tap delays, comb filters, and physical modelling effects.
- To streamline your workflow, the Vel-to-Amp module maps MIDI velocity to amplitude, while the Note-to-Pitch module converts MIDI notes into a pitch signal.
- Every Mela 6.x update will add new modules to the collection. You only need to purchase it once.

Mela Classic vs Mela
- With this update, the major version number has been dropped from the name—so instead of Mela 6, the app is now simply called Mela.
- This change helps avoid confusion, as some users mistakenly thought Mela 6 was a separate app rather than an update to Mela 5.
- To clarify: Mela 4, 5, and 6 were all the same App Store app, just with different version numbers in the name over time.
- Meanwhile, Mela 3, which is a separate App Store app, will be renamed to Mela Classic.

Sublane Module
- Sublane is a module that contains a lane of modules, aka sublane.
- Modules with sublanes can be nested inside each other.
- Input Parameter: When enabled the module input signals will be passed to the sublane.
- Output Parameter: When enabled the sublane output signals will be passed to the module output, otherwise, the module output will be the same as the input.

Delay Module
- The module delays audio signals by a specified amount. Compatible with Poly signals.
- Time Mode: Set the delay time in seconds.
- Synced Modes: Set the delay time using tempo-synced values.
- Pitch Mode: Set the delay time based on the input pitch signal frequency. Ideal for creating comb filters or physical modelling effects.
- Offset Parameter: Adjusts the delay time by 50-200%. Available in Pitch and tempo-synced modes.

Feedback Module
- In Mela, signals flow left-to-right within a lane and top-to-bottom between lanes.
- However, you may want to send an Audio signal in the opposite direction to create feedback.
- The Feedback module allows you to do just that by taking the output of an Audio bus, delaying it by 1 sample, and merging it with the Audio signal passing through the lane.
- WARNING: Protect your ears and equipment by handling feedback with care. Ensure feedback does not build up continuously.

MIDI Delay Module
- The module delays the MIDI signal by a specified amount.
- Time Mode: Set the delay time in seconds.
- Synced Modes: Set the delay time using tempo-synced values.
- Offset Parameter: Adjusts the delay time by 50-200%. Available in tempo-synced modes.

Note Pulse Module
- The module generates note-on and note-off events at regular intervals, synchronised with the host transport.
- Events are generated only when the transport is running.
- The parameters Sync, Gate and Offset let you set the timing of the pulses.
- Additional parameters allow you to set the generated note event's channel, note, and velocity values.

Note-to-Pitch Module
- The module converts MIDI notes into Pitch signals.
- If an instance of MIDI-to-Poly is inserted, this module is not required unless you wish to change the tuning from the A440 pitch standard.
- Tuning Parameter: Sets the tuning of the note A above middle C.

Vel-to-Amp Module
- The module uses MIDI note velocity to control the audio level, making notes velocity-sensitive.
- Supports both Audio and Poly signal types.
- Curve Parameter: Adjusts the velocity-to-amplitude mapping. Higher values increase loudness, while lower values provide more dynamic range.
- Smooth Parameter: Sets the time constant for smoothing level changes between notes.

There’s more in this update, but I hit the character limit. Full details: https://nikolozi.com/mela/changelog
