Nikolozi has updated Mela, a modular AUv3 plug-in for iOS and macOS, to version 7.15.
Time Scrub
- The new Time Scrub module is an audio delay that lets you jump to any point in its tempo-synced buffer using Position.
- Sync parameter defines the buffer length using tempo-synced values from 1/64 to 4 bars, including triplet and dotted options.
- Position parameter selects where to read within the buffer: at −100%, the output is delayed by the full Sync duration, while at 0%, it follows the live input.
- Modulating Position changes the playback speed. Ramping from −100% to 0% speeds up the audio, while ramping from 0% to −100% can slow down, hold, or reverse playback.
- Stepped modulation can create beat repeats.
- With Position held steady, playback stays at 1×.
- The Rate readout displays the playback rate resulting from Position movement.
- Factory Patches: Added “Time Origami” and “Repeat Rush” to the Audio FX folder, demonstrating how the Time Scrub module can be used for playback speed changes and beat repeats.
- Factory Patches: Added “Tape Stop” to the Audio FX folder, demonstrating how Note Event can trigger a tape-stop effect using Time Scrub.
- Time Scrub is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 5.
Musical Keyboard
- Added the Scroll Lock button, bringing back the behaviors available before Mela 5.1.
- When enabled, sliding between notes plays the keys under the fingers.
- When disabled, the keyboard scrolls horizontally while holding notes.
- Octave Up and Down buttons now dim and become disabled at the corresponding edge.
- Fixed missing plus signs and incorrect octave values at the end of the keyboard.
- Fixed an issue on iOS 27 where keys would only trigger notes after sliding a finger.
Other Changes
- Mod Steps: MIDI mode now more accurately displays the value produced when modulating velocity and CC parameters.
- Vel-to-Amp: Range is now bipolar from -60 to +60 dB, allowing higher velocities to be quieter than lower velocities.
- Pitch-to-Amp: The module graduated from Mela Lab and can now be found under the Audio Processor category.
- Matrix: The module graduated from Mela Lab and can now be found under the Signal Router category.
- Factory Patches: Added “Classic Trance” to the Leads folder.
- Remote Views: Fixed layout issues across different control configurations.
