Melodyne studio: overview

Features

• multi-track audio editing and arranging environment with Melodyne technology for Mac OS X and Windows
• works in stand-alone mode or can be linked via MelodyneBridge (VST, AU, RTAS) or ReWire to compatible DAWs under Mac OS X and Windows
• audio-to-MIDI: converts monophonic audio material accurately into MIDI for the real-time control of synthesizers
• integrated mixing console with hosting capability for effects and instruments (for the audio-to-MIDI function)
• activation on up to two computers or via iLok
• user interface and manual in English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese

Applications

• arranging and editing of an unlimited number of tracks
• 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

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
• quantization of one track based on the timing of another
• pitch quantization, manually or via macro
• transferring melodies from track to track without changing the instrument sound of the destination track
• 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 time path within the blob
• 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
