Essential Information About the Melda MSoundFactory Software
- Modular virtual instrument platform combining synthesis, sampling, and effects for limitless sound design.
- Global and "per-voice" modulation engines, true unison, and analog drift for an organic and expressive sound (MPE compatibility).
- Modular effects grid incorporating most Melda processors, plus per-voice effects for clean timbres even on chords.
- Free lifetime updates, with regular additions of new instruments and ready-to-play presets.
What MSoundFactory Is For
Designed for composition, production, and modern sound design, MSoundFactory covers everything from 808 basses, pianos, organs, and drums to evolving synthetic textures. It replaces a multitude of dedicated plugins thanks to its categorized instruments, advanced sampler, and modular workflow, ideal for electronic music, scoring, pop/urban, video games, and experimental sound design.
Main Features
"Per-voice" Modular Generator
Freely add oscillators, wavetables, filters, samplers, drum generators, and utilities. Connections are made automatically, speeding up creation while remaining fully flexible.
Synthesis and Expressivity
Oscillators with very low aliasing, high-quality filters, matrix FM, expanding physical modeling, and true unison unlimited by voice count. Analog drift subtly varies parameters for controlled warmth. MPE support for polyphonic expressivity.
Dual Modulation Engine
Highly versatile global modulators and a 4x4 "per-voice" modulation matrix per key parameter. Available sources: envelopes, LFOs, random generators, MIDI controllers, notes, utilities, and custom modulations.
Modular Effects and Per-Voice Processing
A second grid hosts nearly all Melda effects: reverbs, delays, EQs, compressors, distortions, etc. Each voice can carry its own effects to avoid artifacts when playing chords. Integration of MDrummer modules for elaborate acoustic or electronic kits.
Advanced Sampling and Performance
Multi-region sampler with alternations, loops, and modulatable crossfades; editing tools (slicing, layer and loop generation, tonal/noise converter); and compressed bank system for fast loading. Multi-core per-voice processing for the most demanding sounds.
