Nikolozi updates Mela to v2.2 - Adds Compressor / Limiter Module, Level Metering

Nikolozi has updated Mela, a virtual analog synthesizer and a multi-effects module for iOS, to version 2.2.

Compressor / Limiter:

• Added a new high quality low-distortion compressor.
• When ratio is set to infinity it acts like a limiter.
• In Mela, it's applied after all voices are summed.
• In Mela FX, it's applied to the wet signal after filters and FX.
• Visualize compression using its transfer function graph and gain reduction meter.
• The mix parameter let's you do parallel compression.
• Adjustable knee width let's you control compressor aggression.
• Drag the transfer function pad horizontally to adjust the threshold and vertically to adjust the ratio.
• The gain reduction value shows the maximum reduction level. It resets when gain reduction becomes 0 for more than 500ms.

Metering:

• Added peak metering. Max peak holds are set to 1s.
• In Mela, metering is added for the output signal.
• In Mela FX, metering is added for the dry and wet signals.
• The max peak value is displayed as text until levels drop to -inf.
• When the signal is clipping the metering components turn red.

Other Changes:

• The top bar layout changed in both Mela and Mela FX to better accommodate new features.
• The Preset Selector's context menu and the Preset Browser's more button (ellipsis icon) have been merged into a single menu. It is accessible via the new button next to the Preset Selector.
• Parameter controls now send automation states to hosts, such as control touch and release. Note that, this functionality may not be supported by all DAWs.
• Module tab buttons now highlight when touched.
• The app now displays the system status bar. This makes it easier to interact with the iPadOS 15 multi-tasking features.
• Improved error handling throughout.
• Added a link to the Mela Forum site in the app's settings. If you experience any issues or for any feedback please post there.
• Many internal changes to prepare Mela for future features.
• Fixed the User Guide view toolbar not displaying correctly on iPadOS 15.
• Added standard keyboard shortcuts for Settings and User Guide views.
• Updated user guide.
• Added new presets.
