Celemony has announced
Version 2 of Melodyne plugin at the Frankfurt Musikmesse. They say that the update of the popular audio
correction tool will appear in the fall, offering as its most important new feature Direct Note
Access. This pioneering technology makes it possible for the first time to detect and edit
individual notes within polyphonic audio material. Melodyne plugin 2 will be the first product
in the Melodyne family to use Direct Note Access. Customers purchasing Melodyne plugin
after the 12th March 2008 will receive the update free of charge.
Here’s all the details in Celemony’s own words… Melodyne plugin introduces the legendary Melodyne editing functions directly into VST-,
AU- and RTAS-compatible host applications. As a result of its intuitive use and the
outstanding sound quality it offers, Melodyne plugin is now regarded in many studios
worldwide as an indispensable tool – above all for the correction of vocal parts. Through
the integration of Direct Note Access, Celemony is now expanding the possible uses of
Melodyne plugin enormously. This new technology affords access to the individual notes
within recordings of polyphonic instruments and therefore hands users editing
possibilities that will usher in a new age of music production.
With Direct Note Access, polyphonic audio material is ‘exploded’ in the Melodyne Editor’s
display, so that the user can see the individual notes of a chord displayed at their actual
pitches and edit them individually using the familiar Melodyne tools. As parameters, you
therefore have access to the pitch, position in time and duration of each note as well as
its vibrato, pitch drift, formant spectrum and volume.
Direct Note Access makes possible fascinating and enormously useful types of
intervention in the audio material that were unthinkable before, ranging from subtle
correction to re-composition. A Melodyne user can, for example, correct a wrong note
within a piano recording, tidy up the timing of the individual notes of a chord and even
retune an out-of-tune guitar after the recording has already taken place.
Celemony MD Anselm Roessler, had this to say, “The possibility afforded by Direct Note Access of intervening even in the chords of a
recording and changing the individual notes of which they are composed heralds not only
a new Melodyne generation but also a whole new era in the treatment of audio. We are looking forward to being able to offer these
unique editing possibilities soon within Melodyne plugin 2 and also have exciting plans
for the integration of Direct Note Access into other Melodyne products“.
