MeldwayGrand

"Finally, there’s a brilliant-sounding Steinway sample library where I can dial in a pair of my favourite contemporary tube mics. Besides this, the opportunity to modulate, exaggerate and dehydrate this grand piano is just awesome and very inspiring. what a cool addition to the huge field of ITB-Steinway’s."

MCenter

"The new MCenter plugin is a real gatekeeper if you need to tweak stereo sources in a comprehensive way. This kind of precise surgery within the M/S sound field is impeccable and ahead of most of its competitors. Once more, very well done!"

"I took a telecaster, dialed in "evolution" and immediately guitar heaven gave my a warm welcome. what an incredible detailed sound texture and the dynamic response will knock you off, too. then i took my vintage explorer, loaded "monstrosity" and my wig was melt down caused by the "no mercy" switch! obviously i was looking for some recovery then and purple "Meldano" did this in a second... any questions?"

"Since its launch, I've been a committed addict of MTurboAmp in conjunction with MCabinet. What a great-sounding combination! But Melda goes even further. MGuitarArchitect is my undeniable first choice when comprehensive ITB string treatments are calling. MGA is easy to use, with a brilliant overview of the entire signal chain and has breathtaking possibilities of routing the heck out of it. What a cool extension to my beloved MTurboAmp. Tweakers and nerds are gonna love this awesome and inspiring toolbox! And not only for gently weeping guitars."
