Melodyne grants you unrivaled access to all the musical details in
your recordings and samples – note by note. This is made possible by a
sophisticated analysis that delves deeply into your recordings and samples,
and recognizes and understands the musical relationships within them: the
individual notes and their characteristics, the scales, keys and chords, the
timing, the tempo, the tone color. And with Melodyne you can edit all these
things intuitively. With vocals, but every type of instrument as well –
including polyphonic ones, such as the piano and guitar.
In addition
to all the functions of the smaller editions,
Melodyne
editor offers
you:
- DNA Direct Note Access: Melodyne¡¯s unique DNA algorithms give
you access to individual notes within chords, so you can not only
correct wrong notes in piano or guitar recordings but also adapt samples
of all kinds to match the harmonies of your project, introduce any
number of variations and even ¡°recompose¡± samples altogether to create
something new.
- Edit chords: Thanks to DNA, you can correct and
perfect the performance of individual notes within chords employing
Melodyne¡¯s entire arsenal of tools and macros – or even change the chord
itself by adding, subtracting or changing the pitch of individual notes.
Add fades, shift formants, improve timing, control vibrato ¡¦ the
possibilities are endless. You decide which notes sound and exactly how
they sound – right down to the very last detail.
- Samples play along with the song: Thanks to the
Chord Grid and Melodyne¡¯s ability to identify the chords, you can, with
very little effort, make rigid loops come alive and adapt elegantly to
the changing harmonies of the song.
- Encyclopedic scale functions: Thanks to its
astonishing flexibility in the handling of scales, temperaments and
tunings, Melodyne is at home in all the world¡¯s musical genres. It
recognizes even the most exotic scales as well as letting you define
your own.
- Advanced tempo functions: You can edit
tempos and tempo progressions with the same musical sensitivity as
notes. Synchronize overdubs to tempo fluctuations in a live performance
or, if you prefer, eliminate these altogether.
- In a nutshell: Melodyne editor is also perfect for
vocals. But even more remarkably, with this edition you can edit polyphonic
instruments like the piano or the guitar and samples of all kinds.
With Melodyne editor, you can take ordinary library samples and turn
them into something unique, perfectly tailored to the rhythm, tempos and
harmonies of your entire song.
