Melodyne (Producer and Studio only)

Melodyne essential is part of Celemony’s one-track product family, and offers basic editing of pitch and timing with the same high sound quality as Celemony’s flagship version Melodyne Editor. With Melodyne, you can:

Correct off-key vocals and out-of-tune melodic instruments.

Create harmonies.

Fix timing errors in melodic and rhythmic material.

Convert audio to MIDI. Double an audio track on a MIDI instrument. You can even use vocal or other audio source as a MIDI input device (sing/hum a melody, etc., and convert to MIDI). For details, see To convert audio to MIDI.

Melodyne is integrated in SONAR via the ARA protocol (see ARA Audio Random Access). The Melodyne interface appears docked in SONAR’s MultiDock view.

After an audio clip has been converted to a Melodyne Region FX clip, you can make changes to the clip dynamically, just like any regular audio clip.

You can move, copy, trim, mute, slip-stretch or delete clips, and Melodyne will automatically follow along. Melodyne also follows tempo and time signature changes in your project, and you can position the Now Time and start/stop playback directly from inside Melodyne.

With monophonic audio material, you can modify the pitch, position and duration of individual notes. You can also cut, copy, paste and quantize notes.

When working with complex rhythmic or polyphonic audio material, Melodyne essential separates the notes into beats. Notes that occur on the same beat can be edited as a group in the shape of a Melodyne “blob”.

Figure 332. Each note in Melodyne is called a “blob”.

This section describes how to use Melodyne in SONAR. For tutorials and detailed information about using all the features in Melodyne, please see the documentation that is included with Melodyne (in Melodyne, select Help > Manual, or visit http://helpcenter.celemony.com).

Note: If you already own, or upgrade to, a more advanced edition of Melodyne, such as Melodyne assistant or Melodyne editor, your version will seamlessly integrate in SONAR and replace Melodyne essential.
