  • Introducing Stack, the first module that processes its submodules in parallel rather than in series, like sublanes.
  • The Stack module feeds a copy of its input signals to all its submodules.
  • The module's output signals depend on the Mode parameter, which has three states: Sum Audio, Merge MIDI, and Passthru.
  • Sum Audio: Stack's output Audio, or the Audio components of the Poly signal, is the sum of the submodule output Audio and/or the Audio components of Poly signals.
  • Sum Audio: If Stack's input and all submodule outputs are Poly signals, the module's output will also be Poly; otherwise, it will be Audio.
  • Sum Audio: The MIDI signal and non-Audio Poly signal components (unless collapsed) remain the same as Stack's input.
  • Merge MIDI: Stack's output MIDI signal is a merge of the submodule output MIDI signals.
  • Merge MIDI: The Audio and Pitch signals, or the Poly signal, remain the same as Stack's input.
  • Passthru: The submodule outputs are ignored, and Stack's output signals are identical to its inputs.
  • You may want to process multiple sublanes in parallel for more complex setups. To do this, simply stack Group modules.
  • With the Stack module, you can create simple MIDI effects, such as converting notes into chords by stacking Transposer modules, or build complex sequencers by combining Group, Euclid, and others.
  • You can also easily create layered synths or effects.
  • Stack lets you view submodules individually or as an expanded horizontal stack.
  • When viewed as a horizontal stack, unlike sublanes, vertical lines replace signal indicator arrows, indicating that the submodules are processed in parallel.
  • Stack is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 4.
Mela 6.4 Build 416:
  • Moved Stack from Mela Lab to the Signal Router category.
Mela 6.4 Build 414:
  • You can now think of a Mela preset as a root Stack module with Group submodules. Because that's exactly what it is.
  • Mela preset is now simply stacked, chained, and nested modules.
Mela 6.4 Build 413:
  • The MIDI Stack module has been generalised and is now simply called Stack.
  • Instead of having separate MIDI Stack and Audio Stack modules, there is now a single Stack module with different modes.
Mela 6.4 Build 411:
OK the wait is over, the first stack module is here and ready for testing:
  • Introducing the first stack module: unlike sublanes, where modules are processed in series, a stack module runs its submodules in parallel.
  • The MIDI Stack module feeds a copy of its input signals to all its submodules and merges their output MIDI signals at the output.
  • You may want to process multiple sublanes in parallel for more complex setups. To do this, simply stack Group modules.
  • With the MIDI Stack module, you can create simple MIDI effects, such as converting notes into chords by stacking Transposer modules, or build complex sequencers by combining Group, Euclid, and others.
  • MIDI Stack lets you view submodules individually or as an expanded horizontal stack.
  • When viewing them in a horizontal stack, unlike sublanes, you will notice vertical lines instead of signal indicator arrows, indicating that the submodules are processed in parallel.
  • MIDI Stack also feeds copies of the Poly, Audio, and Pitch signals to the submodules for processing, but their non-MIDI signal outputs are ignored.
  • This means the Poly, Audio, and Pitch signals pass through unaltered.
  • MIDI Stack is a Mela Lab module and part of Collection 4.
