Mela 7.3
Reusing Presets as Modules
- Presets can now be reused as modules, making it easy to move structures between presets or build complex setups from existing designs.
- This allows presets to act as reusable building blocks within larger signal chains.
- Any module can be dragged out of Mela to export it as a standalone preset.
- Dragging a preset from Finder or Files into Mela inserts it as a module.
- Modules can also be dragged between Mela instances to insert a copy.
- In all cases, the full nested structure, parameter values, and modulation routing are preserved.
- Presets in the browser now include a drag handle.
- Drag a preset to Finder or Files to export it, or back into Mela to insert it as a module.
- Presets or modules can also be dropped onto the User or custom preset groups to save them there.
- When inserting a preset as a module, global parameters such as Ahead and polyphony settings are not imported.
- Be mindful of Audio and MIDI bus usage, as imported presets may use the same buses as the current preset, which could lead to unexpected routing behaviour.
Note Pulse & Note Event
- It is now easier to turn Note Pulse and Note Event into step sequencers or note generators by modulating their Velocity parameters.
- Note Pulse: When Velocity is set to 0, new pulses are not generated.
- Note Event: Added the Vel 0 parameter with Skip and Off modes.
- Skip prevents note-on generation at velocity 0, while Off also releases a held note.
- The Event parameter has been renamed to Gate, as it is more fitting.
- Note Event: Added the On parameter back. It is useful when note generation is triggered by modulation, allowing it to be turned off.
