Mela 7.6: Cut, Copy and Paste for Modules and Presets

Mela 7.6 refreshes lane and module action menus with simplified terminology and improved grouping. It also introduces Cut, Copy, and Paste functionality as an alternative to module drag-and-drop and preset import/export workflows.

Modules and presets can now move more freely between contexts. Copied modules can be pasted into another instance of Mela, as files in Finder or Files, or as text in a text editor. Presets from Finder or Files can be pasted directly into Mela as modules. Advanced users can edit preset text, such as adjusting parameter values, and paste it back into Mela.

Mela 7.6: Cut Module, Paste Preset

This video highlights the new Cut, Copy, and Paste functionality as an alternative to module drag-and-drop and preset import/export workflows. It demonstrates how a copied module can be pasted as a file in Finder or as text in a text editor, then modified and pasted back into Mela as a module. It also shows how LLMs can be used in the process to modify module parameters and settings.

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:

1. Visual and modular. An intuitive interface makes it easy to build custom polyphonic synthesisers, unique audio effects, and complex MIDI processors.
2. 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.
3. 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.
