What Melodyne can do

Melodyne is able to change the musical parameters of voices or instruments without any actual influence on the character of the recording. Melodyne detects the pitch and the rhythm, leaving you free to manipulate the audio material at will. Any changes you make are interpreted by the software in a musically intelligent manner and the results always sound natural. Working with Melodyne is as easy as editing notes with MIDI.

Pitch shifting and time stretching were awkward operations in the pre-Melodyne age, too problematical to even bother with unless things had gone badly wrong. In Melodyne, they’re a breeze! You can perform time stretching, pitch shifting or formant correction without even thinking; just grab the notes already recognized by the software and move them around in pitch or time and everything will sound as you would musically expect it to. Or you can move the tempo slider during playback, and you will hear the music accelerate or slow down without this in any way affecting the pitch — just like an orchestra following the conductor’s baton.


Detecting notes from your recording

You can record single melody tracks like with any other hard disk recording software, or you can import them into your arrangement as audio files. It is not essential that the timing, pitch or musical scale of imported melodies match those of your current arrangement — it's easy for Melodyne to adapt them. If you want to edit a melody, just double-click on it and after a short pause (while the software detects the individual notes) the editor will open. The notes appear in their actual positions in terms of time and pitch, and you will also see the exact phrasing of a melody line.

Now you can simply grab a note and move it to any pitch or time position you like. The transition between notes is handled at all times in a way that makes musical sense, and automatic formant correction always makes the moved note sound the way you expect it to.



Change your music while it plays

All changes can be made on the fly even while the melody is running — you will hear your changes take effect as soon as you move the notes. You can also make the moved notes snap to the nearest semitone or to a defined musical scale, or even define a new scale for the entire melody or selected notes by clicking the scale selector buttons on the left hand side of the editor:


With all changes, the phrasing inside a note, e.g. vibrato, will be kept — but you can also edit the phrasing by reducing or adding vibrato or changing the transition curve between notes. Extreme reduction would result in the unnatural ‘straight pitch’ that is a marked feature of many recent pop songs
.

Of course, you could copy and paste notes or melody lines to arrange them as a harmony choir. Formants can be adapted to emulate male or female voices and even convert a trumpet into a trombone.



Timing changes on the fly

It’s just as easy to change the timing of a note as its pitch: just grab it and move it to the desired position. Depending on which tool you choose, the notes following the moved note will be shortened or moved backwards or forwards in time. If you time-stretch a note, it isn’t stretched uniformly after the crude fashion of rival software; instead, the attack remains unchanged, so consonants at the beginning of words do not lose their intelligibility and the characteristic starting transients and incidental noise that play a vital part in helping us to identify different instruments are preserved —the sound of the fingernails on a plucked string, for example. Should you wish to, of course, you could change only the starting transients and not the note itself, to change staccato to legato or vice versa.

If you stretch a whole melody, the same applies: rather than performing simple time stretching, it is for the most part only the tonal phase of notes and syllables that is stretched, whilst the starting transients retain their character. For speech, Melodyne will automatically separate the syllables to make time changes consistent. This makes synchronization very easy. The playing speed of an arrangement in Melodyne is completely arbitrary. You could take a short snippet of music and slow it to a hundredth of its original speed – without changing its original pitch, of course — and in this way discover the latent microstructure of the musical events.



Arrange your music as you always wanted to

In Melodyne's arrange window, all your melodies are displayed with all their notes. So you can see at a glance what’s on a track without even listening. Here you can move tracks around, and copy or loop melodies. You can save detected melodies for re-use in another arrangement. Remember, it’s easy to slot a new melody into an arrangement — even one with a different tempo, tonality or pitch.



MIDI playback of your melodies

Detected melodies can be played back via MIDI, including all the controller data needed for an expressive performance — volume, pitch bend etc. The tone generation could be supplied by an external MIDI module or else by VST instruments hosted by Melodyne. Naturally you can export your MIDI data as well.

Quick, efficient, good value
Telephoned in the middle of the week about a particular Behringer mixer/effects unit. Bava's immediately quoted a good price and said they had it in stock. I told them I'd be in on the weekend to pick it up. When I came in they had it waiting ready to go. Service was quick and efficient. Their prices are good. The selection covers almost everything professionals are looking for. Staff is knowledgable and turned on. I'm definitely coming back!
By Richard Marschall of Blue Mountains

VERY IMPRESSIVE SERVICE
I cannot recommend Bavas Music City enough! I purchased a Zoom Q3 in December 2009. It arrived before I could check the letter box-amazing! Also when enquiring with a warranty issue they didn't muck around-Mick had me on the phone with Zoom 'direct' to sort out the problem. Everyone should run their business like this. Absolutely faultless. Thank you.

Behringer iAxe Metalien USB Electric Guitar
I can't compliment Bava's Music City enough for their service. After speaking with a very knowledgeable staff member (Mitch) I ordered the guitar online. Dopey me ordered the incorrect item, but Mitch fixed this without any fuss or bother. The Guitar was despatched promptly and was received exactly as described in excellent condition. I will use Bava's again when it comes time to buy the Amp and accessories. Thanks guys.
