Key Features
Melda MCabinet is a revolutionary guitar and bass cabinet simulator which offers unique parameters for crafting a unique tone. Instead of using thousands of IR files, MCabinet gives you a small number of parameters to create virtually infinite number of cabinets. MCabinet can also produce various creative tones, a very natural sounding stereo expansion and even double tracking and short reverberation. MCabinet's main core is based on a statistical analysis of measurements of actual physical cabinets, impulse responses, resulting in the profiles.
Guitarists are used to browsing thousands of IR files and using one or a few of them in parallel via convolution. While this is certainly possible, it is extremely clumsy, requires having tons of tiny files (usually commercial) on your computer, and selecting the right one is hit and miss process taking lots of precious time. A profile can be made by analyzing a single IR file, but the true magic is made by analysing thousands of them. MCabinet extracts what's "common" between all the recorded cabinets as well as how much they differ from each other. The profile itself can often sound better than the original IRs, since it avoids the intermediary faulty resonances, but the true fun comes from using the MCabinet's parameters. First you can alter the cabinet response by various processes such as spectral smoothing and tilting. But the actual creative power is brought by the resonators and wideners. As a result, MCabinet is able to produce pretty much infinite number of cabinets and you can control various aspects of these cabinets directly instead of just browsing thousands of files. There is also a dynamic equalizer to fine tune the resulting sound.

Based on profiles of guitar speaker cabinets, MCabinet provides near-endless customisation of a guitar cab to find the right sound instead of focussing on endless lists of impulse responses (IRs). Helping to focus your creative potential, MCabinet removes all the unnecessary menu diving through unhelpful file names to find the right sound and lets you interact with the components of your cabinet to customise a sound that's right for you.
Based on analysis of real cabinets, MCabinet presents a profile from the analysis to give you an accurate representation of real-life cabinets. Four resonators are provided in a seamless matrix which lets you blend between all four to alter the response and resonant character of your speaker cabinet. Addition controls for stereo enhancement and ambience are included for a more natural 'in-the-room' sound, while a dynamic EQ lets you put the finishing touches on your sound to fit any mix or playing style.
For musicians who perform live with their band or solo, each cabinet sound with MCabinet can be exported into a single IR (impulse response) file. This can then be used with compatible hardware units which accept IR files, letting you take the customised sound of your favourite speaker cabinet with you to any show or performance!
With such a wide array of different tones available inside MCabinet, you might struggle to find which song fits your music the best. To help you quickly compare several different settings, Melda has included an A/B comparison switch. This lets you audition two settings simultaneously without needing to dial in the settings every time.
Taking it one step further, MCabinet includes A - H switching, offering up to eight slots of settings where you can freely switch between all eight to find the right sound for your song. Additionally, Slots A - D are available in the built-in X-Y pad, letting you blend between four potential settings and find the right balance between each of them.
Maintain a consistent guitar and bass speaker sound across all of your projects by saving presets in the built-in preset database. You can then quickly access them in any future project in any plug-in host. These can then be shared with users all around the world by uploading directly to the Melda servers, letting you join in with a growing community of MCabinet users. You can also download user presets directly from these servers to expand your virtual cabinet selection without spending a single penny.
Perfect for automating different parameters throughout a song or performance, a Multiparameter lets you combine multiple parameters into one control. Reduce the number of steps you need to take your sound from one place to another, these smart units could be used to seamlessly morph between banks of settings.
