Celemony has announced the release of Melodyne editor, the first Celemony product to feature the company’s pioneering DNA Direct Note Access technology.

Celemony has announced that all registered Melodyne users are welcome to participate in the beta testing of Melodyne editor, the first Melodyne product featuring the Melodyne DNA technology.

Melodyne editor represents, in terms both of functionality and technology the latest Melodyne generation and features all the fully mature and proven editing functions which are familiar already from previous editions of Melodyne. Through the integration of DNA, however, even the harmonies in an audio file can be made visible, accessible and malleable – note by note. Users can literally intervene in the chords of their recordings and alter individual notes with them. The implications for the correction and refashioning of audio are simply sensational.

Melodyne editor is designed for the editing of recordings of individual instruments, for example vocals, guitar, saxophone or piano, but good results can be obtained even with complex material such as string quartets. Users can alter the pitch, position and duration of the detected notes, make them louder or softer, copy or cut them and paste them into new locations, and so on. In addition, characteristics such as the formant spectra, vibrato and pitch drift of notes can be modified, as can the pitch, amplitude and formant transitions between notes. Furthermore, special copying functions make it possible to impress selected attributes of one note upon another.

Whilst Melodyne editor, in terms of intuitive access, musicality and sound quality, stands squarely in the great Melodyne tradition, its technical foundations are completely new. The new software basis offers among things optimized multi-threading of which modern multi-core processors can take full advantage. It also allows many improvements in plug-in operation including a freely definable window size, auditioning during pitch editing, scrubbing and “Edit Play” – playback uncoupled from the host.

The beta test is available to download now for all registered Melodyne customers. The sales launch in music dealers and the Celemony Web Shop is planned for the beginning of November, priced at $349 USD / €349 EUR.

Celemony has announced Melodyne editor, Celemony’s first product with DNA Direct Note Access.

Melodyne editor represents both functionally and technically the next Melodyne generation. It brings all the perfected, tried-and-tested editing functions made famous by the existing editions of Melodyne and is therefore outstandingly well suited to the editing of vocals and other monophonic instruments. With the integration of DNA, however, even the harmonies in an audio file can now be seen, accessed and shaped—note by note. Users can quite literally intervene in the chords of their recordings and change individual notes within them. This offers sensational new possibilities for the correction and refashioning of audio.

Melodyne editor will replace Melodyne plugin in the spring of 2009. It will be available for $349 USD, and as part of the Melodyne studio bundle. Naturally, Existing users of Melodyne plugin can upgrade to Melodyne editor for $129 USD, and anyone who registered Melodyne plugin after the 12th March 2008 will even receive Melodyne editor free of charge.

Celemony has announced version 2 of Melodyne plugin, the popular software for manipulation of the pitch, timing and sound of notes.

Melodyne 2 plugin will feature Direct Note Access, a technology which allows individual notes within polyphonic audio material to be identified and edited.

The unique access that Melodyne affords to pitch, timing, note lengths and other parameters of melodic notes will now also be afforded to individual notes within chords.

Polyphonic material with Direct Note Access: The audio material after detection is spread out in the Melodyne Editor in such a way that the user can see the notes of the chord at their respective pitches and edit them individually.

If you’d like to see how impressive this all is, check this video.

Direct Note Access key facts

• Access individual notes in chords and polyphonic audio: see them, grab them, edit them.
• Audio, not MIDI! while editing single chord notes is common for MIDI, it is a world premiere for audio recordings. Patent pending.
• Examples of use: tune a guitar after recording, correct harmony vocals that are out of tune, or fix their timing, turn major chords to minor (and vice versa), switch tone scales, mute single notes, remix volume levels, etc. – all after the performance is already taped!
• All Melodyne tools available: pitch shifting, time stretching, formants, amplitude – you name it …

Melodyne3 contains many new functions and improvements. Melodyne3 offers a new algorithm that allows any type of audio material to profit from Melodyne’s unique editing functions and sound quality; in other words, Melodyne is no longer limited to the editing of melodies but can handle homophonic and polyphonic textures.

Melodyne3 also offers fully automatic analysis of the audio material, powerful macros for the correction of intonation and timing errors, and numerous improvements in the user interface. Melodyne3 is not only capable of doing far more than its predecessors; it is also faster and easier to use.
