Introduction

Welcome back to another video by Chandler for Melda Productions! In this video, I want to introduce you to two new free plug-ins that have recently been released. These plug-ins offer unique and interesting features that can enhance your music production. In the following paragraphs, I will provide an overview of each plug-in and explain how they can be used to create amazing music.

Overview of the Free Plug-ins

The two plug-ins I will be discussing are the Metronome and the MCC Generator. While the Metronome is a simple tool for keeping time during your practice sessions, the MCC Generator is a powerful tool for creating MIDI CCs (Control Changes) using modulators. These plug-ins can be used in a variety of ways to add depth and creativity to your music.

The Metronome Plug-in

Let's start by taking a closer look at the Metronome plug-in. While it may not seem like a groundbreaking tool, having a reliable metronome is essential for musicians and producers. The Metronome plug-in offers a range of features that make it a standout choice.

With the Metronome plug-in, you can easily adjust the tempo and choose from a variety of sounds to suit your preferences. Whether you prefer a classic click sound or something more unique like a cross stick, the Metronome plug-in has you covered. Additionally, the visualizations provided by the plug-in make it easy to stay on beat and practice effectively.

The MCC Generator Plug-in

Now, let's dive into the main highlight of this video, the MCC Generator plug-in. This tool allows you to create MIDI CCs effortlessly using the modulators in the Melda Productions Mod section. The possibilities are endless with the MCC Generator, as it enables you to create interesting and unique musical elements.

Imagine having the ability to control various parameters in your sound using MIDI CCs. With the MCC Generator plug-in, you can achieve just that. Whether you want to control the filter of an oscillator or modulate different aspects of a sample, the MCC Generator offers immense flexibility and control.

Creating MIDI CCs with the MCC Generator

To create a MIDI CC using the MCC Generator plug-in, you simply need to connect it to your desired sound source, whether it's a plugin like Sound Factory or any other MIDI-controlled instrument. Through the MCC Generator's intuitive interface, you can map the modulation wheel or any other MIDI CC to the desired parameter you want to control. This opens up a world of possibilities for sound shaping and expression.

Controlling MIDI CCs in Sound Factory

If you're using Sound Factory as your sound source, integrating the MCC Generator plug-in is seamless. By connecting the MCC Generator to Sound Factory, you can manipulate various parameters, such as the filter cutoff, resonance, or any other MIDI CC-controlled element.

By setting the MIDI channel and choosing the desired MIDI CC, you have full control over how your sound evolves and changes over time. This integration allows for precise control, making your music production more dynamic and expressive.

Exploring Modulation with the MCC Generator

Beyond traditional MIDI CC control, the MCC Generator provides a range of modulators for creating unique and complex modulations. You can use these modulators to shape your sound in fascinating ways.

For instance, you can connect the MCC Generator to a modulator and observe how it affects the sound. Whether it's a subtle movement or an extravagant transformation, the modulators in the MCC Generator offer endless possibilities.

Using the Step Sequencer for Unique Shapes

Another exciting feature of the MCC Generator is the step sequencer. With the step sequencer, you can create intricate shapes and patterns for your modulations. Syncing the steps to the tempo gives you precise control over the rhythm and timing of your modulations.

By experimenting with different shapes and sync options (such as quarter notes or triplets), you can create captivating rhythmic patterns that enhance your music's groove and energy.

Applying Envelope and Tremolo Effects

The MCC Generator also includes an envelope feature that adds another layer of versatility to your modulations. By triggering the envelope with audio or MIDI, you can shape the movement and intensity of your modulations dynamically.

You can then combine the envelope with the tremolo effect provided by the MCC Generator. Syncing the tremolo to the tempo or using custom shapes allows you to create rhythmic and pulsating movements that add depth and interest to your music.

Advanced Features of the MCC Generator

In addition to the features mentioned above, the MCC Generator offers advanced capabilities for more intricate and precise control. You can import custom samples, manipulate harmonics, and create complex shapes using the advanced options.

Furthermore, the MCC Generator provides a random function that adds an element of unpredictability to your modulations. By introducing random movement to your MIDI CCs, you can create unique and unexpected variations in your sound.

Conclusion

The combination of the Metronome and MCC Generator plug-ins from Melda Productions offers a powerful set of tools for musicians and producers. From practicing with precision using the Metronome to creating complex and dynamic modulations with the MCC Generator, these plug-ins enhance your music production capabilities.

Explore the features, experiment with different modulations, and unlock your creative potential. With these free plug-ins, you have the tools to take your music to new heights. Start incorporating the Metronome and MCC Generator into your workflow and witness the transformation of your sound.
