Celemony unveils exciting Melodyne updates at MWI
This past month, Celemony offered up a special clinic/workshop for MWI’s students and staff, where they presented their recently-unveiled Melodyne Editor, a significant upgrade in Melodyne’s digital pitch correction software.
Melodyne editor was first presented to the public at Frankfurt’s Musikmesse in 2008, and introduced to North American consumers at the NAMM Show this past January in Anaheim, California.
Melodyne editor is the first Melodyne product with DNA Direct Note Access technology, which allows users (for the first time) to edit individual chord tones in audio recordings. The DNA technology opens up an entire new world for the correction and refashioning of audio material, and will allow users to access and shape – note by note – even complex harmonies in an audio file.
Melodyne editor is designed for the editing of individual instrumental recordings such as vocals, guitar, saxophone or piano, but good results can also be obtained with more complex material such as string quartets. If two instruments sound the same note at the same time, Melodyne editor offers one note for editing. The user can alter the pitch, position and duration of the note detected, make it louder or quieter, copy or cut it and paste it in some other position, and so on. Adjustments can also be made to the formant register, vibrato and drift of the notes as well as any pitch, volume or formant transitions. Special copying functions also allow the transfer of selected attributes from one note to another.
Melodyne editor will be made available to consumers this coming summer.
