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 position of notes
• modifying the length of notes
• timing (re-)quantization via macro
• pitch quantization 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 a Melodyne blob. For such blobs, the following editing possibilities exist:

• modifying the pitch (relative)
• modifying the position
• modifying the length
• timing quantization via macro
• cut, copy and paste
