01Overview

MSoundFactory is an instrument plugin from MeldaProduction built around a modular design, so you can add as many oscillators, filters and other modules as a patch needs. The developer describes it as an ever-growing project, with new modules and features added over time rather than separate instruments. It ships with presets converted from MPowerSynth and several complete instruments, and it has a trial version available. The developer notes that a sampler module is planned for the first official release.

Sound Design Tools: Oscillators, Modulation and Randomization

Each oscillator uses an adjustable shape system that mixes predefined waveforms, custom waveforms drawn with the MeldaProduction Envelope System, a step sequencer and several algorithmic post-processing methods. A harmonic mode lets you control harmonic content directly instead of the waveform shape, which the developer notes is especially useful for high-frequency oscillators.

MSoundFactory provides eight modulators that can each work as an LFO, level follower, MIDI or audio triggered ADSR envelope, randomizer or pitch detector. They can control other modulators and can listen to the plugin's sidechain. Multiparameters let you control several parameters from one control, and the randomization system offers full, subtle and smart modes, with the option to lock parameters you want left alone.

Workflow, Metering and Host Integration

The interface is resizable, skinnable and GPU accelerated, with support for HDPI and Retina displays and adjustable frame rates up to 100 fps. The metering system includes input, output, stereo width, loudness, waveform, band, gain reduction and sidechain views.

Automatic gain compensation keeps output loudness close to input loudness while you browse presets or randomize, so louder does not get mistaken for better. A safety brickwall limiter keeps the output below 0 dB. Oscillators and modulators can sync to host tempo, and a MIDI processor with MIDI Learn maps controllers to any parameter in real time. The plugin supports MPE and 64-bit processing.

Who It Is For

MSoundFactory suits producers who want deep control over how a sound is built, from oscillator shape to modulation routing. Its modular structure and the presets and complete instruments included make it a starting point for patch design, while the developer positions it as a platform that will keep growing. Because the sampler module is not yet in the first official release, producers who depend on sample-based sound design should check the current feature set before relying on it.
