Nikolozi updates Mela to v7.4 for macOS and iOS

Nikolozi has updated Mela, a modular AUv3 plug-in for iOS and macOS, to version 7.4.

Mod Steps

• The Mod Steps module is a simple yet powerful 16-step sequencer modulator.
• Its flexible parameters enable sophisticated, evolving patterns.
• Modulate Start and Length to create moving sequences.
• Retrig controls whether the sequence follows the host or restarts on note-on.
• Cycles sets how long the sequence runs.
• Modulating Cycles between 0 and infinity can freeze the pattern at intervals.
• Mode adapts the sequencer for different uses, including note and MIDI generation.
• Each step can be modulated for dynamic patterns.
• The module includes actions to randomise or reset step values.
• Mod Steps is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 5.

Note Pulse + Mod Steps

• Note Event and Note Pulse pair naturally with Mod Steps.
• For example, 3 Mod Steps modules with Note Pulse can build a note sequencer.
• One in Pitch ±12 mode controls pitch.
• One in MIDI mode controls velocity.
• One in Unipolar mode controls note length.
• Check out the Note Sequencer preset in the Parts group, which demonstrates this setup.

Factory Presets

• Added a new factory preset group called Parts.
• Starting with 3 presets, this group will grow over time with reusable presets that can be dragged and dropped into your own presets.
• Added the "Pulser" MIDI preset, showcased in the latest Note Pulse demo video.
• Added the "Drone 1" and "RM Resonators" presets to the Pads group.

Other Changes

• List Parameters: Dials and sliders now once again update values while being adjusted instead of on release (restored pre-3.3 behaviour). Tapping or clicking the title/value button lets you select a value without intermediate changes.
• Modulation: List or index-style parameters now respond evenly to modulation.
• MIDI Logger: Copy and clear actions have been moved to the module's actions menu.
• Modules: Lane-level preset drops now mirror module moves, adding a wrapper lane only if the root module is not a Group.
• CC Modulator: The module graduated from Mela Lab and can be found under the Modulator category.
• Mono Modulators: CC Modulator and Mod Steps always operate in Mono mode, generating a Mono Mod signal and leaving the incoming Mono or Poly signal unchanged.
• AUv3: Plug-ins now correctly report the Mela version number.
• Ableton Live: Fixed an issue where the Mela UI did not appear after the plug-in window was closed and reopened.
• Note Event: Fixed a bug in Skip mode where increasing Velocity from 0 could trigger note-on while Gate was already high.
• Internal: Global parameter value loading improvements.
