￥Portable version of Melodyne 4 Studio for Windows. Melodyne is a software application with which you can edit audio in a more musical way than was ever thought possible. In Melodyne 4, you work with notes – and not with a meaningless wave form. So you don’t just see where the music gets louder or quieter but also where notes begin and end and at what pitch they lie.

 

The algorithms

 

Melodyne offers you algorithms for every type of audio: vocals, instruments, percussive sounds, noise, entire mixes. The algorithm determines how the audio material will be interpreted and displayed.

 

Editing pitch

 

Melodyne distinguishes between three different types of pitch parameter for each note: the pitch center, the pitch modulation (or ‘vibrato’) and the pitch drift.

 

Editing timing

 

Each note can be moved forwards or backwards in time, lengthened or shortened, or quantized using the grid of your choice. Detailed editing is even possible of the timing within each note.

 

Editing tempo

 

Melodyne comes with powerful algorithms for the detection and editing of tempo. Taken together with the timing tools and macros, these offer you complete control over all temporal aspects of your recordings.

 

Editing amplitude

 

You can make notes louder or quieter simply by dragging with the Amplitude Tool. Double-clicking on notes with this tool successively mutes and unmutes them.

 

Shape the sound

 

The Sound Editor and Formant Tool provide unique ways of optimizing the timbre and achieving spectacular tone colors and effects.

 

Work with multiple tracks

 

Multi-tracking is one of Melodyne’s most important functions. Because it’s only when you can see and edit multiple tracks in context that the possibilities of Melodyne reveal their full potential.

 

More than the sum of its parts

 

Taken together, Melodyne’s editing functions offer you fantastic freedom in the way you handle audio.
