2009 NAMM Show: Celemony Software introduced Melodyne Editor, the first product with Direct Note Access (DNA). DNA technology allows, for the first time, the editing of individual chord tones in audio recordings.

Melodyne editor provides all the editing functions of the existing editions of Melodyne. With the integration of DNA, though, the harmonies in an audio file can now be seen, accessed and shaped—note by note.

Melodyne Editor lets you visualize and change individual notes within chords in a recording. This offers fantastic new possibilities for the correction and refashioning of audio.

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 can run as a plug-in or stand-alone and will be available from spring 2009 for 349 US$/€. Read more…
