Melda MSoundFactory

MSoundFactory may well be the most powerful instrument out there. It's modular, so you can have any number of oscillators, filters, samplers etc. you want. It features per-voice and global modulation, full MPE support, the best sounding oscillators on the market, a fully modular effects engine... And we are just getting started...

Powerful Instruments

MSoundFactory provides hundreds of predefined sounds available via global presets, just as any other instrument. The true marvel however is the categorized system of instruments. An instrument is not just a sound, potentially with a few macro controls. It is an entire "instrument", with lots of settings and its own presets.

Imagine an 808 bass, you'd buy a dedicated plugin for it, right? Well, you don't need to, because that's an instrument inside MSoundFactory. Same as a grand piano, an electric piano, an organ, various synths, basses etc. And we are making more as we speak!

Free-For-Life Updates Including New Instruments

As a Melda customer you already know that you get all future versions for free, right? But you also get future instruments for free! We are just not going to try to sell you more stuff all the time like everyone else. MSoundFactory is a platform that gets you a free flow of new sounds.

There may be some commercial instruments in the future, but most of the stuff will be available for you with no cost at all. You can expect electronic synthesized stuff as well as various sampled instruments.

Per-Voice Easy-To-Use Modular Engine

MSoundFactory is based on an extremely easy-to-use what-you-see-is-what-you-get per-voice Generator modular engine, into which you can add as many modules as you need. The plugin automatically connects modules freeing you from tedious connecting module inputs and outputs.

There's everything from oscillators to wavetables, filters, samplers, drum generators, per-voice effects and various utility modules.

Global Modular FX Engine

MSoundFactory also features another modular grid for effects, similar to the Generator modular engine. Nearly all state of the art MeldaProduction effects are available in there, from reverbs to delays, filters, equalizer, compressors, distortions and much more.

You can even insert a fully featured MSoundFactory inside MSoundFactory's FX section to mess with multiple sounds in a modular fashion.

Automatic Analogue Drift

There's a certain mojo in analogue instruments. First, they are not clean - a subtle noise is part of the sound, easy to do with just the simple NoiseGenerator module. Then there's a distortion, again easy to do with just a hint of Saturator. And then there's the most important part - no analogue device is perfect, 1kHz is never exactly 1kHz, 3dB is never exactly 3dB... and these are even moving. So we decided to make it a part of MSoundFactory design. Analogue drift automatically varies many generator parameters, so that the oscillators, filters and other modules behave more like their analogue counterparts. You don't need that? Disable it and save CPU. You do need that? Enable it and enjoy a great controlled analog feel.

Modulation Madness

The interest in most sounds is based on modulation of some sort. MSoundFactory provides you with 2 ways to do that, we call it a dual modulation engine. First there are global modulators, which you may know from other MeldaProduction plugins. They are ultra-versatile and can modulate pretty much anything, globally, so all voices will be modulated at once.

Second there's the new per-voice modulation engine, which is available only for a limited set of Generator's parameters, but individually for each voice. And it's not like attaching one or two modulation sources will do the trick. There is a 4x4 modulation matrix for each of these parameters, with various mixing operations, transformation curves and more. And when it comes to modulation sources there's just about everything from envelopes to LFOs, randomizers, note parameters, MIDI controllers, various utilities and even a custom modulations you can create by actually generating some signal in the generator!

True and Modular Unison

Unison is usually implemented by allocating multiple voices for the same note. That limits the number of notes you can actually play. MSoundFactory doesn't work like that. Various modules such as Oscillator or WaveTable provide a true unison internally, hence not limiting the number of voices you can play. And also there's the unison module, into which you can create any generator system, in which you can vary each unison voice any way you like. How about having each voice a different amount of distortion of filtering? That's just the first thing that pops to my mind, you can do much better!

Synthesis

If you know MeldaProduction plugins, then you know that our oscillators are super-powerful to say at least. They also produce virtually no aliasing, so they are clean as if they were analogue. Filters? That's a must of course. How about FM synthesis? Of course, quite a powerful matrix based one for maximum versatility. Physical modelling? Just getting started with some strings. What do we plan for the future? Well, more physical modelling, spectral synthesis and much more...

Sampling

Sampler in MSoundFactory is already very advanced. It features unlimited number of regions with unlimited number of alterning hits in each, looping and crossfading with ranges available for modulation, syncing multiple samplers for multi-microphone based instruments.

For those, who specialize in sampling acoustic instruments there are various utilities, such as a sample cutter, automatic layer and sample start generator, tonal/noise convertor, loop generator...

The sampler also features a powerful sample bank system, so that you can put all samples in a single highly compressed yet fast repository for caching and distribution. And in the future? Well, granular, slicing...

Multi-Core Processing

Around 2000 scientists predicted doubling CPU power every 2 years. That didn't take long unfortunately. These days the CPU speed is quite stagnating, so instead number of cores is increasing. But how to use them? To process each voice in a separate core! It is especially helpful for very CPU demanding sounds.

MDrummer Modules

You can not only put MDrummer inside MSoundFactory's FX section, you can also use all of its great drum samplers and synthesizers inside the Generator modular environment. Creating both acoustic and electronic drums inside your sounds have never been easier.

Per-Voice Effects

Remember what garbage can produce a distortion of an oscillator once you play a chord? No more! MSoundFactory actually lets you instantiate many effects per-voice. And there's everything from distortions to reverbs, delays, equalizers, modulation effects...

Advanced GUI

User interfaces need to be fast, simple to use and be easy on the eye. Everyone's needs can be different, so flexibility is important. Melda solves this with the most advanced GUI engine on the market.

Stylable : From vintage hardware to super futuristic. You can choose the colours and style of the GUI, making our plugins personal to you.

Resizable : All Melda plugins are freely resizable. Many also feature popup windows. So no matter how many screens you have or what size they are, you will be able to arrange your plugins to keep a focus on what is important.

GPU Accelerated : All the elements in the GUI are accelerated by your GPU. This makes the graphics lightning-fast and frees up extra power for your CPU to focus on the audio.

Stunning Quality : Melda plugins support HDPI and Retina displays, so you will experience beautiful crisp resolutions. With adjustable frames per second up to 100, you will not miss a thing in our detailed analyzers.

Unique Visualisation Engine with Classic Meters and Time Graphs

Your ears should always be the main tool, but they are not the only way to judge your audio. Visual aids can be incredibly useful for a variety of reasons. Melda's comprehensive metering system is extremely flexible and delivers you accurate information when you need it. From classic meters to time-based graphs, you will see important visual feedback including; Input, Output, Stereo width, Loudness, Waveforms, Bands, Gain reduction and Sidechain, and some plugin dependent meters.

Modulators

MSoundFactory provides 8 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR enveloper, randomizer or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin\'s side-chain.

You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.

Adjustable Oscillator Shape Technology

Every oscillator in MSoundFactory uses the most versatile oscillator algorithm on the market. It provides mix of predefined oscillator shapes, custom waveforms edited using our MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES), a step-sequencer and several methods for algorithmic postprocessing.

It also provides a harmonic mode, which lets you control the harmonic content instead of oscillator shape. This is especially useful for high frequency oscillators.

Multiparameters

MSoundFactory lets you control multiple parameters using a single so-called multiparameter. This may not only come handy for automation for example, but the multiparameters are very smart units and you can use them to smartly morph between banks of settings for example. All in the name of creativity!

Smart Randomization

Melda's state of the art randomization system gives you complete control. You can randomize parameters in 3 ways;

Complete full randomization of everything.

Subtle small random changes to your current state.

Smart Randomization.

Melda's smart randomization engine learns, using information based on existing presets to offer better values that will result in more successful changes. You can even lock certain parameters that you wish to be excluded from the randomization. This level of control can really help you out when you have a creative block and offer up fresh and inspiring ideas you may have never thought of.

Automatic Gain Compensation (AGC)

Most plugins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not mentioning randomization. MSoundFactory includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.

Safety Limiter

Some plugins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MSoundFactory provides a safety brickwall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.

Sinc Interpolation

MSoundFactory implements the most advanced interpolation technology to provide the best audio quality.

Adjustable up-sampling 1x-1024x

Digital audio provides very superior audio quality compared to ancient analog gear, but there are problems too. The main problem is the aliasing, which may be noticeable, when using nonlinear processes such as compression or saturation. MSoundFactory includes both minimum-phase and high-quality linear-phase upsampling algorithms, which avoids the aliasing.

Synchronization to Host Tempo

Every oscillator and modulator in the plugin can automatically synchronize to the host. But it can be out-of-sync if you want of course.

MIDI controllers with MIDI learn

MSoundFactory contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listen to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and control any parameters realtime.

64-Bit Processing and an Unlimited Sampling Rate

MSoundFactory provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. It does not make much sense to go over 192kHz, but if you think it is a good idea, the plugin can do that.

Extremely Fast, Optimized For Newest Avx2 And Avx512 Capable Processors

Computers are now extremely fast, but the algorithms are more complex and projects bigger, so we still need to use the processing power with care. MSoundFactory uses the fastest algorithms, takes advantage of the newest processor capabilities, lets your GPU handle the graphics, and shares the resources with other MeldaProduction plugins. The plugin is among the fastest on the market, yet it provides the best possible audio quality.

Global Preset Management and Online Preset Exchange

MSoundFactory presets are carefully stored in a system database and you can quickly access them from any project in any host. The plugin can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers. We are building a community and you can be a part of it!

Compare Multiple Settings

A/B comparison is a widely used method to objectively hear the changes you are making to your audio and help you to make better decisions, non destructively.

A to H Switching : Melda has taken this to the next level. Have up to 8 instances of the plugin, copy/paste the A to H slots and freely switch between them.

A to D Morphing : You can also morph between the first 4 slots with an X-Y pad. Not sure which preset to choose? You could load 4 and find the perfect blend of all of them. Not sure if A or B sounds better? You might prefer an interpolated state somewhere between the two.

Supports VST, VST3, AU and AAX interfaces on Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit) & Mac (64-bit only)

MSoundFactory supports all major hosts on both platforms. Check system requirements for information about compatibility and installation.
