2023-06-22

- Fixed a typo.

3.9.1

2023-05-23

- Added the Mela 4 App Store link in the settings.

3.9

2023-02-24

Arpeggiator Module:
- Added the Retrig parameter, when enabled the arpeggiator pattern restarts on the first note-on.
- The new Sync and Offset parameters replaced Arpeggiator's Rate parameter. This aligns with how the other modules work.
- The Sync parameter allows you to set the Arpeggiator's timing in powers of 2.
- The Offset parameter allows you to make the Arpeggiator rate triplet or dotted, or anything in the 50-200% range.
- Modulate these parameters to achieve interesting results.
- Renamed the Length parameter to Gate to reduce confusion about its functionality.

LFO Module:
- Added the Tilt parameter to the LFO module for the Triangle and Square waveforms.
- When Tilt is at -100% and +100% the Triangle morphs into the Ramp Down and Ramp Up waveform.
- For the Square, the Tilt parameter sets the pulse-width amount.
- Creatively modulate it to generate even more interesting and weird LFO shapes.

Other MIDI Module Improvements:
- Now it's easier to set the sync’s Offset parameter to triplet and dotted values. In the following modules, Arpeggiator, LFO, Note Echo, Note Length, Random and Strummer, you can tap on the Offset parameter's label and select either the Triplet or Dotted item from the pop-up menu.
- Improved the design of MIDI modules' on/off toggle.
- Fixed Note Length module causing stuck notes when a note-off event would fall beyond the host's loop end beat position, while the looping was enabled.
- Fixed Note Echo module sometimes erroneously accumulating notes to repeat when the host has looping enabled.
- Set a maximum number (32) of notes Note Echo will track for repeating.

MIDI Buses:
- Added MIDI Buses to the Mela MIDI plug-in.
- In addition to having external MIDI I/O now you can route MIDI messages between lanes.

Other Changes:
- Fixed checkmarks not showing for selected items in the PopUpList on macOS.
- In Settings, the Audio Engine section now also displays which type of Mela plug-in is loaded by the host: Instrument, Audio Effect or MIDI Effect. Double tapping it will show aumu, aufx or aumi respectively.
- Improved plug-in's beat position synchronisation with the host.
- Added new presets.
- Updated the User Guide.

3.8

2023-01-07

Mela MIDI Modules:
- Repositioned the module toolbar as a vertical bar on the left side of the module, freeing up vertical space for improved parameter control layouts.
- Tapping on the sidebar of a module collapses or expands it.
- The LFO and Random modules now feature a segmented control that clearly indicates which page, Modulator or Targets, is being displayed.
- Added the ability to insert a new module in front of another using the actions menu of the latter.
- The modules are now grouped into categories to make it easier to find the desired one for insertion. The categories are Processor, Modulator and Utility.

Strummer Module:
- Added the Strummer module to Mela MIDI.
- The timing of strums can be synced to the host's tempo or be specified in milliseconds.
- The module allows you to customise the strumming pattern.

LFO & Random Modules:
- Added the Waveform parameter to the LFO module, offering the options of Sine, Triangle and Square.
- Added the Retrig parameter to both the LFO and Random modules. When enabled, the modulator signal resets to its start value on a note-on event.
- Added the Phase parameter to both the LFO and Random modules.
- Updated the Depth parameter in both the LFO and Random modules to default to 50%. This allows you to quickly make the signal unipolar by setting Bias to 100%.
- Updated the algorithm in the LFO and Random modules so that the Bias amount is applied before Depth, allowing the Depth parameter to control the amplitude of the modulator signal when it is unipolar (Bias = 100%).
- Added the ability for a double tap on the oscilloscopes of the LFO and Random modules to reset the Rate/Offset and Depth parameters to their default values.
- Updated the interaction with the LFO and Random modules to allow you to adjust the Depth (rather than Bias) parameter by dragging the oscilloscope vertically.

Settings:
- Renamed the "Standalone Mode" section in Settings to "Audio Engine".
- The section now also displays the sample rate used by Mela.
- The tempo field is now also visible in Mela plug-ins but is in read-only mode as the tempo is provided by the host.
- Both the sample rate and tempo information can be useful for troubleshooting potential mismatches between the plug-in and host.

Other Changes:
- Optimised and improved the internal engine of the Mela MIDI plug-in.
- Added presets showcasing new features.
- Updated the User Guide.

3.7

LFO Module:
- Added the LFO module to Mela MIDI.
- Like the Random module, it can modulate any parameter and has an Oscilloscope graph.
- Currently, only the Sine waveform is supported. More will come later.
- The LFO rate can be tempo synced.
- The Sync parameter defines the tempo sync value, while the Offset parameter is a percentage value in the 50-200% range. Their product defines the resulting rate.
- When Sync's value is set to "Free", the Offset parameter is replaced by Rate, allowing you to set the oscillation rate in Hertz.

Random Module:
- Like LFO, the Random module now supports the tempo synced rates.
- Improved the rendering of the Oscilloscope graph.

Note Echo Module:
- Added the ability to set the delay amount in seconds to the Note Echo module.
- As with the other modules, simply set the Sync parameter to "Free".

Note Length Module:
- Added the ability to set note length in seconds to the Note Length module.
- As with the other modules, simply set the Sync parameter to "Free".
- Improved how the note length is computed by the Arpeggiator and Note Length modules.

Panic Module:
- Added the Panic module, which sends the "All Notes Off" MIDI message downstream on all channels on the lane it's on.

Logger Module:
- The Logger Module's new Copy button lets you copy the MIDI log into the system's pasteboard in CSV format.
- You can paste the text into a spreadsheet app for further analysis.
- Fixed the tappable area of the Logger module's "Clear" button being too small.

- When adding, removing, or moving a module that doesn't create or modify note-on events, the auto-release of held notes will no longer be triggered. These modules are Control Change, LFO, Logger, Panic, Random, and Velocity.
- The app now retains the Background Audio toggle setting even after the application is killed.
- Added presets showcasing new features.
- Updated the User Guide.

3.6

2022-11-30

MIDI I/O:
- Added 4 MIDI inputs and 4 MIDI outputs to Mela MIDI.
- These are virtual MIDI cables that a host can use to send and receive MIDI from the Mela MIDI plug-in.
- Note that not all hosts support multiple I/O cables.
- Use AUM on iOS to fully take advantage of this feature.

Multi-lane Support:
- Mela MIDI can now have up to 4 lanes of modules. Tap on the Add Lane button to add more lanes.
- Modules can be dragged and dropped from one lane to another.
- A lane will delete itself once all of its modules are removed.
- You can configure MIDI Input and output cables for each lane independently.
- In hosts that don't support multiple I/O MIDI cables simply set all lanes to Input 1 and Output 1.

Note Length Module:
- Added the Note Length module to Mela MIDI.
- The module controls the length of incoming notes. It can also be used to trigger notes from note-off events.
- The note length can be set using the Sync and Offset parameters.

Other Changes:
- Simplified UI by removing the last module delete button. A module's delete functionality can be accessed via its actions menu (ellipsis icon).
- Changed the icon of the add module button to a simpler plus symbol.
- Renamed Random's Offset parameter to Bias. This is to prevent possible confusion with the other parameters with similar names.
- Added new presets showcasing new features.
- Updated the User Guide.

3.5

2022-11-18

Random Module:
- Added the Random module, which generates a random bipolar modulator signal that can modulate any parameter in Mela MIDI.
- It can be inserted anywhere in the processing chain and it will simply let the MIDI signal passthrough without altering it.
- It has 2 views: the main and modulation targets view. Tap on the view switcher button to change the current view.
- The main view displays the Rate, Depth and Offset parameter controls and the oscilloscope.
- Drag the oscilloscope horizontally to adjust the Rate and vertically to adjust the Offset parameter.
- The modulation targets view allows you to set the target parameters and modulation intensities.
- Each instance of the Random module can modulate up to 8 parameters.
- Added new presets showcasing the module.

Other Changes:
- Added modulation value indicators to sliders and dials in Mela MIDI.
- Logic Pro can now capture the MIDI output from the Mela plug-in's built-in virtual musical keyboard.
- Improved the touchable area of the Mod Matrix Intensity dials.
- Fixed an issue where accessing Mela's settings on macOS Ventura would crash the plug-in.

2022-10-16

Logger Module:
- The Logger module logs incoming MIDI events, displaying the DAW position, channel number, message type and value.
- It can be used to monitor all incoming MIDI data as well as observe how your MIDI module chain transforms incoming MIDI messages.

Control Change Module:
- The Control Change module lets you use a slider to generate MIDI CC messages.
- Chain multiple instances of the module to create a virtual MIDI controller. Check out the "CC Perform" preset in Mela MIDI to see how this is done.

Other Changes:
- The MIDI Module chain will now be centred if the plug-in window is wider than the chain.
- Improved MIDI module drag and drop behaviour as well as fixed the memory leak bugs related to it.
- Displayed parameter values now use the minus and plus characters that have the same width. This prevents the text wobble when a parameter is being adjusted.
- The Intensity dials of the Mod Matrix now also support the triple tap gesture and triple click mouse event. This allows you to enter the values of the parameters using a typing keyboard or the Apple Pencil.
- Added new presets.
- Updated the User Guide.

3.3

2022-08-28

Chord Module:
- The Chord module converts each input note into a chord consisting of up to 6 notes.
- Each row of parameter controls defines how the input note is transformed into one of the chord notes.
- The chord note parameters control transposition and velocity.

Scale Module:
- The Scale module ensures that its output notes are in a given scale.
- The scale is defined by enabled pitches using the corresponding toggle buttons.
- In Filter mode, disabled notes are filtered out. In Nearest modes, disabled notes are transposed up or down to the nearest enabled notes.

Settings:
- The Settings view has been slightly tweaked.
- The Forum button has been replaced with the Submit Feedback one. Tapping on it opens the new feedback site. Use it to submit bug reports, make feature requests or vote on issues.
- You can still email me directly, just tap on the Email Nikolozi button.
- Release Notes has been renamed to Changelog and is linked to the new page.

User Interface:
- Dials and sliders that control list parameters will now only trigger a value change on release. For example, while adjusting the Arpeggiator's Mode parameter, the sound will not be affected until the control is released.
- You can now triple tap or triple click on dials and sliders to enter values of the parameters using a typing keyboard or the Apple Pencil.
- Fixed an issue where the Perform View dials would stop controlling the assigned parameters after the MIDI module chain was changed.

Other Changes:
- The toggle buttons now correctly send the touch automation events to the host on touch or mouse down.
- Reduced voice shutdown time from 20ms to 2ms. This means that note-on events will feel more responsive when the note has to steal the synth's voice from another.
- Added new presets to the Mela MIDI plug-in showcasing the new modules.
