Mela 7.16
Macro-8
- The new Macro-8 module is a modulator whose Mod signals equal the values of its Macro 1…8 parameters.
- Each Macro parameter sets its Mod signal value in the [0%, 100%] range.
- On the Targets page, Source selects which Macro parameter modulates each target.
- Only parameter controls assigned to targets are displayed.
- Macro-8 is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 5.
One Pole
- The new One Pole module processes Audio signals using a virtual-analog low-pass or high-pass filter with a 6 dB/octave slope.
- Type selects LP or HP, and Frequency sets the cutoff frequency.
- The high-pass output is the original signal minus the low-pass output at the same cutoff frequency.
- This complementary relationship makes One Pole ideal as a gentle crossover filter for creating multi-band effects with Splitter.
- Factory Patches: Added “3-Band Panner” to the Subpatches folder, demonstrating multi-band processing with One Pole, Splitter and Balance.
- One Pole is part of Collection 4.
Patches
- Skill: Added “Patch Skill (Experimental)” under More in Settings, linking to instructions for AI assistants to create and edit Mela patches.
- Factory Patches: Moved drum patches from Synth FX to the dedicated Drums folder.
- Factory Patches: Added six new patches to the Drums folder: “Drum Synth Clap”, “Drum Synth Cowbell”, “Drum Synth Hi-Hat”, “Drum Synth Kick”, “Drum Synth Snare”, and “Drum Synth Tom”.
- All six Drum Synth patches were created by AI using the Patch Skill and are included unmodified. Each comes with 10–12 remotes for tweaking the sound.

- Modules: Duplicated and pasted modules now receive unique names, making them easier to identify when assigning remotes and modulation.
- Correlation: Simplified by removing the sidebar and bringing its design in line with the Meter modules.
- Meter, MIDI Meter: Fixed broken module renaming by temporarily showing the sidebar while editing.
