Mela 6.12
VA Oscillator
- Merged the “Full-Wave Rectified Sine” and “Half-Wave Rectified Sine” waveforms into a single “Rectified Sine” that supports the Shape parameter, allowing it to smoothly morph between the two shapes.
- The “Alternating Sine” waveform now supports the Shape parameter, allowing it to smoothly morph from a pure sinusoid.
- Factory Presets: The new “G0 Euclid” and “Demo 6.12” presets in the Synth FX group showcase the new features.
MIDI Processors
- With this update, the transition to making the On parameter performance-oriented across all modules is now complete.
- The On parameter of the following modules is now more performance-oriented: Arpeggiator, Note Echo, Note Range, Scale, Strummer, and Quantiser.
- Each MIDI Processor uses the On parameter in a way that best suits the module’s function.
- For example, the Arpeggiator retriggers the input chord when turned off, while the Quantiser simply stops quantising new notes.
- Note Range & Scale: Changing any parameter, including On, updates the output by releasing some held notes and triggering new ones as required.
- Chord Module: Fully rewritten internal logic, making the module more robust, especially when its parameters are modulated.
- Note Stack: Removed the redundant On parameter.
- Note Stack: The module no longer creates a note-on event for a note in the Wait stack if it’s also going to be released in the same call as the note-on that freed a slot in the Play stack.
- Note Stack: The module no longer generates redundant note-on/off pairs when receiving multiple note-ons simultaneously.
- Note Length: Fixed an issue where the note length value didn’t always initialise correctly.
- Arpeggiator: Fixed an issue in Chord mode where a note-off event could be generated for a new input note-on before it was sequenced.
- Transposer & Scale: Fixed a stuck note issue that could occur in certain edge cases.
Other Changes
- Stuck Notes: Adding, removing, or moving a module now forces all modules to reset, preventing stuck notes even while the preset is receiving note-on events.
- Amp Envelope: Fixed an issue in Mono mode where note-on events weren’t detected correctly when Legato was enabled and multiple notes were received simultaneously.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when a modulator’s last target module was removed from the preset.
- User Guide: Added the new “Module On Parameter” section to the Core Concepts chapter.
