![]() ![]() Neither Shadows nor Meld has GUI arpeggiation available and both will lock you out of their GUIs if you use Kontakt’s back-end to access it.Īll in all, both are capable and useful and quickly generate workable variations via randomization or by manually selecting individual layer voices and features. ![]() ![]() The XY-Pad for both only affects one (the selected) parameter at a time. Shadows’ XY-Pad works on six parameters, Meld’s only works on two. Shadows also has a Link button to allow the simutaneous adjustment of parameters for all four layers. A big difference between Shadows and Meld is that Shadows’ effects can be set/adjusted for each layer Meld’s effects are global. Since it has a separate reverb, Meld’s convolution IRs are of the sound design type, not the spaces type Shadows single convolution reverb addresses various expected spaces. Shadows also has fewer effects available than Meld (Meld has eight, Shadows has 4) and fewer IRs for the convolution reverb (Meld has 49, Shadows has 30). Most of the extra options in Meld are LFO target options. Shadow layers have fewer options available for adjusting the sound of the layers due to fewer options available in the envelope/filter drop-down menu. Randomization is only for the selection of sound sources (parameter settings not affected) and this usually produces useable results (I tried over a dozen-and-a-half randomizations in a row without a resulting “dead” patch). Shadows and Meld have very similar 4-layer/source interfaces with common/shared voices, a central XY-Pad, randomization, effects, and layer parameter options selected by drop-down menus. ![]()
