All three Mela versions are amazing.
I have been a supporter since version 1. Mela 3 falls right in line with the consistency and quality of the developer. After playing with each of them for differences , there are slight improvements with each version. Is it worth the upgrade? Absolutely, is it worth buying if you never heard of it? Without a doubt.Rian Diasporah
Deleted synth for design changes
Having to manually enable background audio EVERY TIME I play it in the background is very dumb (right up there with ripiff subscriptions)! You’re fostering dropping IQs by thinking for less intelligent people exacerbating the situation. I can’t endorse this kind of thinking. I love Mela but sorry, but I cannot endorse that philosophy.Eriptron

Update: After talking to more users and asking them what behaviour they prefer, I decided to make Mela retain the Background Audio setting even after the app is restarted. So, it now behaves as you expect it to. Previous reply: Hey, when implementing features I always think about what sort of experience I want from an audio/music app. Too many times I've woken up to a dead iPad because some audio app was draining its battery all night by running in the background because I launch it for a few minutes to do something quickly with it. Or sometimes I would accidentally pocket-launch an audio app on my iPhone which would drain the battery. I didn't want Mela to cause this issue for me or others. So, that behaviour was a design decision, that if the user wants background audio mode they need to enable it again after the app is killed. Having said that, after you emailed me about this I took your feedback and said I would figure out a solution for it. Sorry, you found this behaviour frustrating. I'll see if I can improve it. Btw this feature didn’t change over time. It was always like this, since Mela v1.great, amazing synth

You should be able to run Mela and Mela FX plug-ins in Ableton Live 11.2 or later. If you still have issues please email me directly and we’ll investigate.Amazing range of sounds and effects...
... with an easy to use and understand user interface. Great design and a great synthesizer. Works great in both iOS and on macOS (and you get the desktop version for free if you buy it on iOS!).Neumuzik
Great synth and audio effects. MIDI plug-in is buggy in Cubasis.
This is a great, package deal for the price. One thing I really like is that you can scroll through the parameters in the Cubasis effects frame. That makes parameters easy to get to without feeling cramped. I really like the synth and effects. The synth and audio auv3 plugins come with a lot of mice presets. The midi plug-in with only 10 presets, but it’s enough to get you started. The Mela MIDI plug-in works in Cubasis, but it’s not very usable. When I loop a section in Cubasis with the Mela plug-in activated, the plug-in stops arpeggiating when the loop repeats. When I hit the MIDI panic button, the arp starts playing by itself. I really hope that the developer fixes this. Otherwise, I feel that this plug-in is great for someone who is looking for an all-in-one plug-in deal.
UPDATE: The developer fixed the issue! The MIDI effects plugin now works as expected! This my favorite MIDI effect plugin, now. 5 stars. Thank you, very much!Station86

Hey, thanks for the review. I will look into the arpeggiator issue in Cubasis. And more presets will be added to Mela MIDI as I add more modules over time :) Update: I’ve just released the Mela 3.0.1 update, with fixes to the Arpeggiator. Let me know if you experience any more issues.All three Mela versions are amazing.
