• Mela 6 - Synth, FX, MIDI
Mela 6.0 kicks off a new chapter in the app's evolution, starting with unifying all lane types into a universal one for greater flexibility. The updated Getting Started guide explains how key concepts have evolved-be sure to check it out, along with the changelog, for a quick overview. This is just the beginning, with much more to come in the upcoming 6.x updates.
Universal Lane
All lane types (Audio, MIDI, Instrument) are now unified into a single universal lane with merged capabilities.
The preset migrator automatically converts existing presets to use universal lanes.
Lane audio and MIDI 1/0 settings are replaced with Signal Router modules.
Signal Routers: Audio In, Audio Out, MIDI In, MIDI Out, MIDI-to-Poly, and Poly-to-Audio.
These modules are part of Collection O.
Audio In/Out Modules
Audio In receives Audio signals from the host or an Audio bus.
Audio Out sends Audio signals to the host or an Audio bus.
MIDI In/Out Modules
MIDI In receives MIDI messages from the host or a MIDI bus.
MIDI In includes a "Panic!" button to send "All Notes Off" MIDI messages downstream on all channels.
MIDI Out sends MIDI messages to the host or a MIDI bus.
MIDI Out a "Panic!" button to send "All Notes Off" MIDI messages on all channels to the output.
MIDI-to-Poly Module
The module converts MIDI messages into a Poly signal, replacing any existing Audio or Poly signal with a new Poly signal.
The module lets you set the polyphony settings for the preset.
Instances sharing the same MIDI input synchronise voice allocation, ensuring consistent Poly-to-Poly modulation across modules.
The Voice Priority rule is replaced with a "Release" setting, clarifying how voices are reallocated for new notes.
Previously, this functionality was handled implicitly by the Instrument lane type before sending the Poly signal to modules.
Poly-to-Audio Module
Collapses a Poly signal into an Audio signal by summing voices while retaining the last note-on Pitch signal.
Modules that don't support Poly signals automatically perform this collapse.
The signal remains collapsed even if the collapsing module is bypassed.
Previously, this functionality was handled implicitly by the Instrument lane type before sending the Audio signal to its output.
Module Updates
Amp Envelope: Now mirrors the behaviour of the Envelope Generator. When no Poly signal is present, it uses MIDI signals to trigger attack and release states, shaping the Audio signal accordingly.
Panic Module: Removed, as the functionality is now integrated into the MIDI In and MIDI Out modules.
Voice Activity: Now displays Audio signal levels and MIDI signal's last note and velocity when no Poly signal is present.
Voice Activity: Now automatically resizes based on the preset polyphony.
Modulators: The "Targets" view no longer scrolls to the bottom on appearance.
Improvements
Getting Started: Updated to reflect the latest changes.
Notepad: Renamed the Note Pad module to Notepad
Fixes
Module Help: Fixed the help popover not utilizing available space correctly.
Preset Load: Resolved a crash that occurred under certain conditions when changing presets.
Polyphony Settings: Fixed an issue with the Newest Release mode not initialising correctly.
Modulators: Modules without parameters, such as Notepad, no longer appear as modulation targets.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial and find it useful.

[@MachineSequence]

Infinite interesting hi-hat patterns with accent parameters

[@soundformore]

Yep

[@osidenick8891]

So, it seems that modular synths are especially powerful when it comes to modulations. And Euclid is a great way to drive it. Enjoyed the video.

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@samzzo]

The euclidian sequencer looks wonderful and you use it in a very creative way.

[@soundformore]

Thanks

[@sjustme1]

Very good series. I'm super interested in this euclidian sequencer. Looks good.

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@c0urs]

Mela looks like a very good modular app. Simple and powerful. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@soundformore]

Yeah… ;)

[@Sky-l1ne]

Interesting to perform variations on hi hat. Thank you for demoing this.

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@vince-s1x]

Thanks for all the work you do to help us understand modular synths. I particularly like all the midi manipulations that can be done easily with Mela (modules 1 & 2). The Euclid module seems super fun.

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@timelapsedigital2536]

Nice info, thanks!

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@corywofford9976]

Now I'm wishing all of my synths had a Euclid module. So many rhythmic possibilities. Thank you for the tutorial! 😊

[@soundformore]

You are welcome

[@corywofford9976]

@ thank you so much for the giveaway!!! And thank you to Nikolozi Meladze for all these great synth apps!

[@m-oo-c-u6b]

Interesting use of the Euclid module. Thank you for the tutorial !

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@JoelRosario]

What I love about many of Melas modules is that not only are they powerful and deep but they are also quite visual. That put together with your in depth tutorial broadened my general understanding of Euclidean sequencers. Thanks Leo!

[@soundformore]

Thank you

[@adrianfernandez5001]

I needed this tutorials to Mela . Thanks !

[@soundformore]

Happy to help!

[@Francesco-L]

Mela 6 is awesome. Thanks a lot for this series!

[@soundformore]

👍

[@gm-kp8is]

Another in depth tutorial and incredibly generous giveaway, you really are starting 2025 with a bang Leo! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make all of the videos that you produce, it never ceases to amaze me how you find the time not only to produce the videos but also learn how all of the apps work😁 I hope that you are able to continue doing what you do and that you get the support that you deserve 🤞🏻👏

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@gm-kp8is]

@ I meant to say that I don’t need to be included in the draw this time so good luck to everyone and thanks once again Leo😁👍

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

You have to be born with that talent . I’ve been around people who could instinctively grasp how stuff like this work. Unf. I’m not one of them which creates an automatic audience for Leo’s tutorials .

[@soundformore]

Ok

[@soundformore]

Thank you

[@realsho]

Great tutorial. Thank you Leo

[@soundformore]

Glad you liked it!

[@sam00sam]

The Euclid module is super interesting. Both simple and deep. And, I like how you use it to modulate different things.

[@soundformore]

👍

[@slms7]

Explanations and examples are always very good. Thank you Leo.

[@soundformore]

Thanks

[@gbcraw]

Wow. Mela 6 continues to impress. Thanks for these deep dives, Leo!

Thanks so much Leo! Special thanks to Nikolozi for creating Mela 6 and all the cool collections of modules.. with even more to come..

[@DP_Gumby]

Nice that you are giving some use case examples! Thanks!

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@Anita-r5y6l]

I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you

[@soundformore]

👍👍

[@nikolozi]

Once again, thanks Leo, for another great tutorial. I will add one thing, it's probably better to place the MIDI Source modulator after MIDI-to-Poly, that way the velocity source will be polyphonic and each voice will have its own level modulation. Rather than the last MIDI note changing the level value for all voices. Then you could even disable Reuse in MIDI-to-Poly, that way, if voices overlap (e.g. they have long decays) they can continue to have independent velocity modulations. That will also remove clicks. Alternatively, you could increase the Smooth parameter value of MIDI Source to remove clicks.

[@soundformore]

👍thank you

[@tonycorlett2099]

I have the Mela 6, but need to add a collection soon. Thank you Leo

[@Lofiibeets]

Hey I really liked this video. I’m am super confused on how I am supposed to record it on the app? I have tried looking for the record button and I cannot find it. Could you please tell me how to do it?

[@soundformore]

Record the preset? The performance?
