• manual or automatic correction of intonation and timing errors
• refashioning of melodies, timing and rhythm
• transposition including adjustment to scale
• modifying various note parameters such as volume, vibrato, formant spectrum
• pitch shifting and time stretching
• (re-)quantization
• MIDI file export

Monophonic material

In the case of monophonic (solo voice, saxophone, bass guitar...) audio material, the following possibilities exist for editing notes:

• modifying the pitch
• modifying the pitch drift
• modifying the pitch modulation
• modifying the position
• modifying the length
• modifying the volume
• shifting the formant spectrum
• modifying the pitch transition between notes
• modifying the volume transition between notes
• shifting the formant spectrum of transitions between notes
• timing (re-)quantization, manually or via macro
• pitch quantization, manually or via macro
• cut, copy and paste

Rhythmic and complex material

In the case of rhythmic as well as polyphonic and complex material, separation is according to beats, so if several notes (e.g. click, snare and piano chord) sound on the same beat, they are available for editing in the shape of one Melodyne blob. For such blobs, the following editing possibilities exist:

• modifying the pitch (relative)
• modifying the position
• modifying the length
• modifying the volume
• shifting the formant spectrum
• modifying the volume transition between blobs
• shifting the formant spectrum of transitions between blobs
• timing quantization, manually or via macro
• cut, copy and paste
