Mela 5.5 Update — All Pass Module, Quality of Life Improvements
The Mela 5.5 update introduces an all pass filter module. It includes first- and second-order filter types. The All Pass module is ideal for creating audio effects such as phasers. The new All Pass Phaser preset in the Audio FX group demonstrates the module’s functionality. There’s a lot more to this update, for the full details check out the Changelog.
I’ve also uploaded a tutorial video, Build a Phaser, where I explore Mela’s new All Pass module, explaining what an all pass filter is and using it to create a 6-stage phaser.
Mela 5.5 Changelog
All Pass Module:
- The new module allows all frequencies to pass through without attenuation, while introducing varying phase shifts.
- It includes first- and second-order filter types.
- The first-order type shifts the phase by 90º and the second-order by 180º at the cutoff frequency.
- The module is ideal for creating audio effects such as phasers.
- The All Pass Phaser preset, found in the Audio FX group, demonstrates the module’s functionality.
- All Pass is part of Collection 3.
Other Changes:
- Mela now supports side-chain audio input when loaded as an instrument plug-in.
- The side-chain signal comes through Audio In 1 for the instrument plug-in, but when Mela is loaded as an audio effect plug-in, it comes through Audio In 2.
- Increased the number of supported lanes in a preset from 8 to 16.
- The XY control has been simplified. The independent X and Y handles are gone, and the entire control area responds to touches, improving the experience for live performances.
- Updated the UI layouts of the following modules: Distortion, DS Oscillator, MIDI Source, Rectifier, VA Filter, VA Oscillator, and VPS Oscillator.
- Removed the on/off switch from the Panic module, as it served no purpose.
- If purchasing is disabled on your device due to Content & Privacy Restrictions or a Mobile Device Management profile, Mela’s In-App Purchasing view now displays a warning.
- Fixed a bug where Digital Delay synced delay times didn’t follow the host tempo.
- Fixed truncated parameter labels for DC Offset in the Rectifier module and Asymmetry in the Distortion module at certain zoom levels.
- Fixed a bug where some UI components wouldn’t switch to the light or dark scheme correctly in AUv3 mode.
- Fixed a bug where MIDI Logger’s content wasn’t scrollable.
- Fixed position value formatting in the MIDI Logger module.
- Added new presets.
- Made many small internal improvements.
