The module delays audio signals by a specified amount. Compatible with Poly signals. Time Mode: Set the delay time in seconds. Synced Modes: Set the delay time using tempo-synced values. Pitch Mode: Set the delay time based on input pitch frequency. Ideal for creating comb filters or physical modelling effects. Offset Parameter: Adjust the delay time by 50-200%. Available in Pitch and tempo-synced modes. Delay is part of Collection 4.

In Mela, signals flow left-to-right within a lane and top-to-bottom between lanes. Sometimes, however, you may want to send an Audio signal in the opposite direction to create feedback. The Feedback module allows you to do just that by taking the output of an Audio bus, delaying it by 1 sample, and merging it with the Audio signal passing through the lane. WARNING: Protect your ears and equipment by handling feedback with care. Ensure the feedback does not build up continuously. I plan to add auto-mute or hard limit to prevent such cases. At the moment feedback doesn't work with the Poly signal type, i.e. it auto-collapses it to Audio, but I plan to support it once Audio buses can transmit Poly. Feedback is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 4.

Note-to-Pitch Module The module converts MIDI notes into Pitch signals. If an instance of MIDI-to-Poly is inserted, this module is not required unless you wish to change the tuning from the A440 pitch standard. Tuning Parameter: The tuning of the note A above middle C. Note-to-Pitch is part of Collection 4.

The module makes it easier to make notes velocity-sensitive. It uses MIDI note velocity to control the audio level. Supports both Audio and Poly signal types. Curve Parameter: Adjusts the velocity-to-amplitude mapping. Higher values increase loudness, while lower values provide more dynamic range. Smooth Parameter: Sets the time constant for smoothing level changes between notes. Vel-to-Amp is part of Collection 4.

Build Mela Labs into a framework that can be open sourced such that users can create their own mela labs modules, or port from other open source models such as Lua or Supercollider.

A user requested an audio pitch shifter module with a dry/wet control.

This is a popular request so I'm adding it. (I thought it was already listed here, but I must have forgotten to post it here.)

In order to facilitate the use of external controllers, I think it would be more practical to fix cc's or expose macros in a fixed way, rather than having to do the mapping every time you change presets. For example, in the AUM Midi controls menu, add a section dedicated to the 8 macros so that they can be linked to a button on a midi controller. Thank you :-)

Over the years Mela users have been asking for support for Wavetable oscillators. So, I'm creating a post to track that. Feel free to comment to add more details about the kinds of features you would like to see in such a module.

It would be great to have a module similar to MIDI Capture where the user can quickly sample audio anywhere in a processor chain in Mela. The user can then easily drag and drop the captured audio as a region/clip into their host for further tweaking.
