Audio professionals in search of an all-in-one instrument solution with limited editing capabilities will be impressed with the Melda Productions MSoundFactoryLE, a scaled-back version of the MSoundFactory, which includes all of the sounds, but limits access to editing.
If you are looking for tons of sounds and don't want to bother with editing, then this LE version is your ticket. MSoundFactoryLE includes free updates for life. The software is Mac and Windows compatible and works with any DAW with AAX Native, AU, VST, and VST3 plug-in compatibility.
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.
- MSoundFactory comes equipped with a ton of inspiring sounds including bass, drums, bells, mallets, keyboards, leads, orchestral, organs, pads, percussion, synthesizers, sequences, experimental, FX, and more.
Free-for-Life Updates Including New Instruments
MSoundFactory is a platform that gives 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.
Automatic Gain Compensation (AGC)
Most plug-ins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not to mention if you use randomization too. 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, when in such cases, it is only louder.
Safety Limiter
Some plug-ins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MSoundFactory provides a safety brickwall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0 dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.
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 colors and style of the GUI, making the plug-ins personal to you.
- Resizable: All Melda plug-ins are freely resizable. Many also feature pop-up windows. So, no matter how many screens you have or what size they are, you will be able to arrange your plug-ins 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, so your CPU can focus on the audio.
- Stunning Quality: Melda plug-ins support HiDPI 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 the detailed analyzers.
Adjustable Upsampling to 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.
Surround and Ambisonic Processing
MSoundFactoryLE can handle not only mono and stereo signals but also mid-side encoding for stereo-field processing. Separate left and right channels, separate mid or side signals, and use up to 8 channels of surround audio even 7th order ambisonics which have a staggering 64 channels. It is perfect for audio production for music, movies, games, VR, and more.
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 make better decisions, nondestructively.
- A to H Switching: Melda has taken this to the next level. Have up to 8 instances of the plug-in; 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.
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 can offer fresh and inspiring ideas.
Unique Visualization Engine
Melda's comprehensive metering system is extremely flexible and delivers 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, Side-Chain, and some plug-in dependent meters.
Free-for-Life Updates
When you buy the software, you are entitled to free updates forever.
