Mela 6.10
Module On Parameter
- A module no longer dims when it or one of its ancestors is turned off.
- The On parameter has changed from a binary type to a continuous one.
- It is always a Mono modulation target, even if the module is in Poly mode.
- For Group and Stack modules, a submodule’s effective On value is the minimum of its own On parameter and its parent’s.
- Modulators: The On parameter acts as the amplitude of the modulation signal.
- Pitch Processors: The On parameter crossfades between the input and the generated Pitch signal.
- Audio Processors: The On parameter crossfades between the input and the generated Audio signal.
- These changes mean the On parameter no longer causes clicks in audio when changing state.
- Since the On parameter no longer disables a module’s processing or switches its output between Mono and Poly, it has been removed from modules where it added little value or could cause confusion.
- The following modules no longer provide the On parameter: Correlation, Meter, MIDI Capture, MIDI-to-Poly, Oscilloscope, Pitch Oscilloscope, Poly-to-Mono, and Voice Activity.
Other Changes
- Module Help: Built-in help for all modules has been fully refreshed and is now consistent with Core Concepts terminology.
- VA Oscillator: Added the new “Bipolar Triangular Pulse” waveform.
- Voice Activity: In Mono mode, the module now resizes to show a single item.
- Enter Value: Percentage, decibel, and multiplier units can be used interchangeably.
- For example, entering -6dB is equivalent to 50%, while entering 2x is equivalent to +6dB.
- Chord Module: The Note On parameters no longer cause the corresponding Pitch and Velocity parameters to dim or become disabled.
- Phase Distortion: The module has graduated from Mela Lab and can now be found under the Audio Processor category.
- Pitch Oscilloscope: The module has graduated from Mela Lab and can now be found under the Utility category.
Factory Presets

- Added the “Evolved Perc” preset to the Synth FX group.
- Added the “Chorus-Reverb” preset to the Audio FX group.
