This update primarily focuses on internal changes to transition away from Mac Catalyst and towards becoming a fully native macOS app. The goal is to enhance Mela’s performance on macOS and address bugs specific to Mac Catalyst. Due to the scope of this change, the transition will occur over several updates.

• A new preset called Session Notes in the Audio FX group features the Note Pad module.
• The Note Pad module is part of Collection 3.

UI Zoom

• Mela’s UI can now be scaled.
• Supported zoom levels: 75%, 100%, 125%, and 150%.
