![]() The first question on some readers’ lips is likely to be “What happened to Melodyne 3?” The last full release of Melodyne to be reviewed in SOS was Melodyne 2, as long ago as December 2009. Without wishing to give too much away now, I think it’s fair to say that this is not your average software update. ![]() A couple of months down the line, it’s ready to be unleashed on the world, and if anything, I’m even more impressed. Just occasionally, however, a product comes along that is genuinely revolutionary, and when Celemony first showed me a beta of Melodyne 4, it was immediately obvious that they had come up with something a bit special. Many of the non–disclosure agreements we sign are about things so dull that no–one would have bothered to disclose them anyway. Now, revolutionary features in version 4 promise to make tempo and timbre equally fluid.Ĭan you keep a secret? In the world of music technology, it’s usually not all that difficult. In the case of rhythmic and complex material, separation is according to beats, so if several notes (for example click and snare) sound on the same beat, they are available for editing in the shape of a single Melodyne "blob".Musical pitch has always been putty in the hands of Melodyne. Pitch quantisation, manually or via macro.Timing (re-)quantisation, manually or via macro.Shifting the formant spectrum of any transition between notes.Modifying the volume of any transition between notes.Modifying the pitch of any transition between notes.In the case of monophonic audio material (solo voice, saxophone, bass guitar, etc.), and polyphonic audio material (piano, guitar, etc.), the following edits are possible: In-depth editing of the timing of notes.Send audio in real time as MIDI notes to a plug-in (virtual instrument).Modifying various note parameters such as volume, vibrato, and formant spectrum.Extract scales from audio, edit, and apply them to other recordings.Transposition, including adjustment to scale.Refashioning of melodies, harmonies, timing, and rhythm.Manual or automatic correction of intonation and timing errors.Supports ARA Audio Random Access in compatible DAWs.Works as a plug-in or in stand-alone mode.DNA technology allows direct access to individual notes within chords.Suitable for monophonic, polyphonic, and rhythmic/complex audio material.Multi-track audio editing software with Melodyne technology.Tempo Intelligence: map and edit tempo fluctuations within a recording.Sound editor: Manipulate the underlying overtone series of any note.Two more polyphonic algorithms: Sustain (for strings, organs, and the like) and decay (guitar, piano, and other staccato bursts of chordal information).DNA Direct Note Access on an unlimited number of tracks.Dynamic just intonation for transparent chord tuning.Conform notes to certain scale shapes or add new notes to source material, thereby creating melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic variations. Make notes longer or shorter, louder or softer. ![]() Simply move an audio note to a different pitch or a different position. The audio is displayed in the form of "blobs" spaced out in time and representing the position and dynamics of individual notes. With an adaptable single-window user interface, editing is intuitive, and is made even more flexible with the addition of ancillary browser and inspector windows. The software is available in 32- and 64-bit usages. It's also useful for time-stretching and tempo-shifting entire mixes, if need be. Melodyne Studio 4 from Celemony is pitch/time shifting software that provides the ability to tune and rhythmically realign notes that don't quite make the cut, either in monophonic or polyphonic situations.
