quietformat updates MELTONE to v1.2.1 and MELINO to v1.1.0

quietformat has announced updates for two of its instruments.

MELTONE (v1.2.1) is an analog-style synthesizer with full MPE support and the built-in GILLA ARP engine, designed to create expressive tones and evolving textures.

MELINO (v1.1.0) is a vintage keyboard instrument that layers electric pianos, flutes, and other classic sounds to capture the feel of retro keys.

Both updates deliver core engine improvements, new features, and refinements shaped by user feedback.

MELTONE v1.2.1

• Engine Upgrade: The synthesizer core engine has been updated for improved performance and future expandability. Users are advised to complete projects in v1.1.0 before updating, as engine-level changes may cause parameter mismatches in existing sessions.
• LFO1 Sync: A new tempo sync toggle has been added to the Filter LFO.
• VCO2 Tune: Real-time tuning changes are now applied even while holding sustained notes.
• Chorus Effect: The previous VCO2 Detune buttons have been replaced with Chorus I / II buttons for more versatile sound design.

MELINO v1.1.0

• Clean UI Skin: A new "Clean" skin option has been added, selectable in the Settings popup. The chosen skin is saved and applied on next launch.
• Advanced Controls: A new Advanced panel provides extended parameters, including tremolo speed for EPs, saturation depth, key noise volume, and preset management.
• User Feedback: This update incorporates feedback from existing users, focusing on improved usability and expanded customization.
