Meloncillo is a software that provides a user-friendly interface for organizing and creating sound compositions using graphics.
Meloncillo uses Supercollider 3 or any other open-sound-control server, such as Max/MSP, to synthesize the sound. Moreover, the software offers an open plug-in interface concept that allows you to exchange and reprogram the synthesis algorithms with ease. Examples of Meloncillo's plug-ins include amplitude matrix panning, Doppler shift, filtering, distortion, and binaural convolution.
To install and run Meloncillo, you need the Java 1.4 runtime, SuperCollider 3, and Csound 4 or Max/MSP with IRCAM Spat~. Apart from these requirements, the software doesn't have any other major limitations.
The latest version of Meloncillo comes with a new MeloncilloMaxBridge 0.12 that works perfectly with the new Spat~ Control realtime plug-in, using Spat~ inside Max/MSP. Additionally, the development team has made several minor improvements, such as remembering document position when going back, dragging and dropping files from the finder, and multiline editing using Jatha Diddler.
Overall, Meloncillo is an outstanding software that provides a comprehensive solution for anyone looking to arrange and compose sound. Its open plug-in interface and support for multiple synthesis algorithms make it even appealing to advanced users.
