Introduction
Music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker MeldaProduction is proud to bring its 16th anniversary to a celebratory close with a welcomed V17 update to all of its 100-plus plug-ins — introducing MPluginManager as a new and easy way to manage all installations, licensing, and subscriptions from one convenient location, as well as adding six new instruments to MSoundFactory, itself already held in high regard as arguably the most powerful modular virtual instrument platform out there today by effectively allowing users to create their own customised instrument.
Celebratory creative comfort
Surely surviving 16 years in business is something well worth celebrating — certainly this thinking applies now more than ever to the highly competitive world of music production and audio processing software, where MeldaProduction has continued to not only flourish but, better still, dominate with well over 100 plug-ins to its notable name. Needless to say, all of those plug-ins have benefitted from a celebratory V17 update being applied by the music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker rightly recognising that the time had also come to improve its innumerable discerning users’ creative comfort by introducing MPluginManager as a new and easy way to manage all installations, licensing, and subscriptions from one convenient location. Indeed, it is simply a case of installing — from here — and launching, then logging into a user account, following which MPluginManager checks licenses on the host computer against the user account concerned; click the resultant plug-in icons to select or deselect as desired — or, alternatively, use the ‘bundle shortcuts’ — before clicking INSTALL/CHANGE to download and install all necessary packages. Put it this way: MPluginManager makes sure any user’s MeldaProduction plug-ins are always up to date with only the files that are needed on their system, sensibly tracking even the smallest of updates and allowing for easy installation repairs in the process… celebratory creative comfort, some might say.
Making MSoundFactory more powerful
Creative comfort notwithstanding, the welcomed V17 update also sees MeldaProduction making MSoundFactory more powerful than ever — even though it was already held in high regard as arguably the most powerful modular virtual instrument platform out there today by effectively allowing users to create their own customised instrument with any number of oscillators, filters, samplers, or whatever they want, with per-voice and global modulation, full MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support, and a fully-modular effects engine — with the addition of six new instruments, including the self-explanatory CYBERPUNK BASS and TRAP BASS, enhancing their respective genres; ETHEREAL KEYS, providing lo-fi and atmospheric keyboard sounds; ORGANIC ESCAPE, delving deeper into granular synthesis; as well as ALCHEMIST WHOOSH and CYCLICITY that both more than live up to their intriguing-sounding names as intriguing-sounding instruments. All are, of course, free for existing owners of MSoundFactory and MSoundFactory LE licenses.
More to V17 than meets the eye
It is fair to say, though, that there is more to the V17 update — free for all existing plug-in users, as always — than meets the eye, perhaps, for MeldaProduction has worked hard to improve the efficiency of the core and updated the compatibility of all its plug-ins — including the free ones, such as those found in MFreeFXBundle , the largest collection of free plug-ins available anywhere — to meet current standards. Some plug-ins — like MTurboDelay, possibly the most in-depth delay plug-in available anywhere — also benefit from many new presets.
Free-for-life updates include all of MeldaProduction’s bestselling big-hitters, such as MAutoAlign, the ultimate phase cancellation solution; MAutoDynamicEq, the most powerful and flexible dynamic EQ; MDrummer, the ultimate drum machine and virtual drummer; MMorph, a unique tool to morph between two audio materials; MMultiAnalyzer, a unique multi-track spectrum, loudness and stereo analyzer, and sonogram; MRhythmizer, a unique time manipulation effect; MSpectralDynamics, unique spectral processing with fine-tuned algorithms; MTurboAmp, a mighty collection of guitar amps and distortion pedals; and much more.
Best buy… or subscribe?
Owning over 100 V17-updated MeldaProduction plug-ins — bestselling big-hitters or otherwise — can be an admittedly expensive endeavour, whether actively engaging with the music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker’s 16th anniversary celebrations or otherwise. On the face of it, then, the best way to buy all of those plug-ins outright with free-for-life updates is to opt for MCompleteBundle — readily representing every plug-in that MeldaProduction has ever released (or ever will), which weighs in at a heavyweight €2,099.00 EUR, while still representing a considerable cost saving over buying each and every plug-in separately. Saying that, the best way to start using all of MeldaProduction’s V17-updated plug-ins immediately is through its Subscribe-to-Own programme, priced at only €15.00 EUR per month or €165.00 EUR annually. It is also worth noting here that many MeldaProduction plug-ins — including MSoundFactory — are available as part of Belgium-based Image-Line Software’s FL Cloud subscription model (https://www.image-line.com/fl-cloud), starting at only €6.50 EUR per month. And anyone still sitting on the fence regarding the music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker proudly bringing its 16th anniversary to a celebratory close with that welcomed V17 update to all of its 100-plus plug-ins would do well to remember that they are all available as 15-day fully-working trial versions… cause for a little celebration in itself, surely!
