What the hell is Melohman?

"Melohman is the new cutting-edge set of technologies developed by Ohm Force to improve the global playing experience that a musician can get with any virtual instrument. It relies on a few original concepts. First, a user-defined octave on the keyboard, that can be used for exotic pleasures such as preset morphing, randomisation and various grouped parameter modulations, depending on the instrument. Secondly, exhaustive MIDI matrixes with adjustable response curve. Thirdly, there is a user-friendly interface that allows you to take advantage of the global concept at a glance."

The first Melohman instrument will be the Quad Frohmage Melohman and will be released in October. It is an innovative synth based on a unique synthesis type called SyncGrain, a built-in filter bank (guess which one) and deeply integrated with the instrument plays parameters.

There will be a policy of monthly patch releases on the web.

The second Melohman will be a Minimoog emulation co-designed with GMedia Music. This one will bring the analogue emulation concept to a new level, not only sounding as close to the original as the Oddity with the Arp Odyssey (which means incredibly close) but actually offering far more in terms of playing and modulation experience, thanks to Melohman.

Other Melohman VSTi should be released under different brands soon and Ohm Force are currently in negotiations. Expect a global announcement at the next Winter NAMM.

Note: Mélomane means Music Lover in French.
