Celemony Melodyne 4 studio (boxed)

Complete Polyphonic Pitch and Time Editing!

Melodyne studio has been the mainstay of professional pitch and time correction for several years. Celemony first impressed the audio industry by discarding the stiff controls of other pitch correction programs and giving us time and pitch correction in a familiar piano roll format. Next, they refined their already powerful pitch correction engine to accommodate polyphonic audio, giving us dramatic time and tonal correction for rhythmical and polyphonic audio. And Melodyne studio's Direct Note Access (DNA) technology even lets you individually edit the notes within polyphonic audio. For comprehensive pitch and time correction, you'll be well served with Celemony Melodyne 4 studio.

• The ideal tool for improving individual tracks
• Harmonies and double tracking are a few mouse clicks away
• From subtle corrections to outrageous effects
• Intelligent MIDI implementation

Through its unique pitch-shifting and time-stretching capabilities, Melodyne is a favorite tool around Sweetwater for improving individual tracks. Simply take hold of a note, move it to the perfect pitch or position, optimize its length, or alter the intensity of its vibrato. Such corrections are absolutely unnoticeable; the musical message is preserved, because Melodyne 4 adapts the note transitions and phrasing intelligently. So there are neither jumps nor the notorious Cher effect unless you want it!

With a few mouse clicks, you can thicken your singing through doublings or allow a second voice to run with it at the octave. Melodyne can also provide slight random variations of pitch and timing so that it sounds natural. Harmonies are also incredibly easy to create, and since you can affect the formant of each voice separately without affecting the pitch, you can even use a single take of a single voice and create convincing virtual backup singers from it.

With Melodyne's outstanding time stretching and pitch shifting, you can vary and correct your audio material unobtrusively with the very best sound quality - but you can also use these possibilities for extraordinary transformations and effects. You can, for example, stretch a note to such an extent that a short sound is transformed into a fascinating, minute-long sound continuum. Even with such extreme stretching, the starting transients are preserved and the sound remains soft and round.

Melodyne can reproduce the melodies it detects via MIDI - retained at the same time, pitch, dynamics, tempo, and phrasing. Software instruments can be hosted directly in Melodyne and controlled using the Audio-to-MIDI function by Melodyne's audio tracks. The small u-he synthesizer Podolski is installed at the same time, so you can start immediately. You can also export the data generated with audio-to-MIDI as a MIDI file and edit it further in your sequencer; this opens many possibilities for creative arranging and sound design. Breathe new life into your synthesizers! In the other direction, almost all Melodyne parameters can be controlled remotely via MIDI and automated. You can use any MIDI controller you like for this; for particularly popular models, Melodyne comes with ready-made adaptations.
