Mela 7.8: Precise Modulation Entry and Adaptive Remote Views
Mela 7.8 improves modulation and remote control workflows. Modulation intensity parameters can now accept target values directly, making it possible to enter the desired result instead of calculating modulation amounts manually. For example, entering =500ms automatically derives the modulation intensity needed for the target parameter to reach 500ms when the Mod signal is at 100%.
Remote views have also been redesigned to be more compact and adaptive. Layouts now adjust automatically based on the number of remote assignments, with support for sliders and XY layouts when using 1 or 2 assignments. The update also includes improvements to Euclid, undo and redo behaviour for module UI state, preset handling, voice alignment, and various interface refinements and fixes.

Why should I get Mela? What’s so special about it?
Mela is a modular music-making tool that scales with your needs. Its 3 core strengths are:
- Visual and modular. An intuitive interface makes it easy to build custom polyphonic synthesisers, unique audio effects, and complex MIDI processors.
- Flexible. It can be a core part of your setup or a small utility for specific tasks. Run it standalone or as multiple plug-in instances on iOS and macOS.
- Continuously evolving. New features and modules are added regularly, shaped directly by user feedback.
Artist Presets & Themes
There are dedicated pages for Artist Presets and Artist Themes. If you have created Mela presets (whether paid or free) or a theme you want to share with others let me know and I’ll happily link them there.
