MeldaProduction updates all plugins to 14.03

28th January 2020 - KVR Audio News

MeldaProduction has updated its plugins to 14.03, an important update that comes with several improvements, new features and fixes. It is recommended to install this update. To do that, get the newest version from the download page.

Changes for effects in 14.03:

Added "Octave down" and "Octave up" buttons to all frequency text edit popups.
Added up to 64 banks to arpeggiator in MXXX, which let you switch between sequences on the fly.
Added Aftertouch and Pitchbend to the list of CC targets in MCCGenerator.
Learn can no be accessed both from menu and multiparameter/LFO/paramlock editors.
Various optimizations and stability improvements.
MSpectralDynamics (including MXXX) quality range increased to both ends and the plugin now adjusts the buffer size according to current sampling rate.
"Paste" buttons in insert module menu in MXXX now displays the type of the module to insert.
Fix: MMetronome could miss the first beat (initial or after a loop).
Fix: Frequency text edit displayed a piano, but didn't scroll to current frequency note.
Fix: Setting group color could also affect MPs without name, even if these didn't belong to the group.
Fix: MRecorder file drag & drop didn't work if "Append number to the filename" was enabled.
Fix: Scrollbar locators could become extremely small when zoomed in too much.
Fix: Changing a device of various VST3 plugins might have cause problems when automating MPs for which the number of possible values has changed (e.g. on/off -> dB).
Fix: Multiparameters in discrete editor modes (e.g. Selector) and Bank mode could display incorrect bank value as current value.
Fix: Stepped / Continuous switch didn't update the number of automation values.

Backwards compatibility breach: So far MSpectralDynamics used a constant buffer size no matter what sampling rate you used. To maximize audio quality and compatibility, the plugin now adjusts the buffer size depending on the audio settings. This means that for sampling rates over 48kHz the sound may have changed slightly.

Changes for MSoundFactory in 14.03:

MSoundFactory now provides parallelized processing for maximum performance on multicore machines. It is available via Settings / Enable parallelization.
Added "Analog drift" feature, which automatically moves per-voice modulated parameters to make each voice slightly different, the same way analog devices would.
Added up to 64 banks to arpeggiator, which let you switch between sequences on the fly.
Added efficient FilterBasic per-voice module.
Added "Sample sync channel" to sampler, which lets you synchronize multiple samplers to choose the same sample index. Useful for multimiked instruments.
Added "Loop decay" parameter to sampler, plus a "Convert to looped" feature to region menu, which lets you emulate long decay instruments (e.g. piano) using short samples with custom decay.
Added "Convert to tonal / noise" feature to sampler region menu, which lets you produce tonal and noise compounds from samples.
Added "Automatic sample start" feature to sampler region menu, which automatically sets Start locators by analyzing each sample, and potentially implements a quick fade-in.
Added "Octave down" and "Octave up" buttons to all frequency text edit popups.
Added "Ignore finetune" switch ad tag {veloname} to sample import, which accepts pp/p/mf/f/ff strings.
Added "Copy settings of all regions" and "Paste settings to all regions" feature to region menu in Sample, useful for editing multimiked samples.
Added per-voice Saturator module.
Added region "Solo" feature to Sampler.
Device presets now include Arp settings.
Improved smart loading in samplers and added a switch to disable the smart loading useful when the entire samples should be loaded at all times.
Added "Start skip full" parameter to all samples, which lets you skip any part of the sample, possibly depending on the note parameters.
Added "Apply level envelope" switch to Sampler "Compile and assign sample bank" feature.
Harmonic structure editors are now sorted into columns instead of rows.
Added "Initial phase" to all frequencies for Additive module.
Learn can no be accessed both from menu and multiparameter/LFO/paramlock editors.
Various optimizations and stability improvements.
Added "Timbre defaults to minimum" option.
"Paste" buttons in insert module menu now displays the type of the module to insert.
Fix: "Filter follow mono" could cause glitches when used together with glide and changing it didn't take effect until next start/panic/load...
Fix: Frequency text edit displayed a piano, but didn't scroll to current frequency note.
Fix: Setting group color could also affect MPs without name, even if these didn't belong to the group.
Fix: Per-voice Random mod didn't follow the transformation curve for initial part of the modulation.
Fix: Samples advanced settings didn't update the sample view immediately.
Fix: Scrollbar locators could become extremely small when zoomed in too much.
Fix: Changing a device of various VST3 plugins might have cause problems when automating MPs for which the number of possible values has changed (e.g. on/off -> dB).
Fix: Multiparameters in discrete editor modes (e.g. Selector) and Bank mode could display incorrect bank value as current value.
Fix: Stepped / Continuous switch didn't update the number of automation values.
Fix: Online rendering using MDrummer MultiSampler could end up with missing/trimmed sounds if the computer couldn't handle the load.

Fix: Online rendering using MultiSampler could end up with missing/trimmed sounds if the computer couldn't handle the load.
Fix: Browsing components and cancelling would reload the previous component from scratch undoing any changes already made.
