Melodyne3 offers a new algorithm that allows any type of audio
material to profit from Melodyne.s unique editing functions and
sound quality; in other words, Melodyne is no longer limited to
the editing of melodies but can handle homophonic and polyphonic
textures. Melodyne3 also offers fully automatic analysis of the
audio material, powerful macros for the correction of intonation
and timing errors, and numerous improvements in the user
interface. Melodyne3 is not only capable of doing far more than
its predecessors; it is also faster and easier to use.



Recording artists and engineers have known about Melodyne for
years. Until now, though, it was only monophonic vocal and
instrumental parts that could benefit from Melodyne.s
much-admired editing algorithms: algorithms capable of
everything from minor corrections of intonation to extreme pitch
shifting and from the subtle modification of grooves to drastic
time stretching. With Version 3, Melodyne is no longer limited
to melodies but offers a unique algorithm that can perform high
quality time stretching on full chords and complex audio
signals; so now harmonic material (such as rhythm guitar or
piano parts) . whether homophonic or polyphonic . can be
transposed (without altering the tempo), slowed down or sped up
(without altering the pitch) and even quantized. What.s more,
all this can be done in real time with the sound quality for
which Melodyne is famous.



Melodyne3 employs the same audio analysis engine as Melodyne
uno: the process of note recognition is therefore fully
automatic and the results more reliable and delivered more
swiftly than heretofore. That.s one way in which Melodyne3 makes
working with audio files easier. Others are the Correct Pitch
and Quantize Time macros, which allow the most common flaws in
vocal and instrumental recordings to be removed with a few mouse
clicks.



Melodyne3 is not just far easier to operate and better attuned
to the working practices of musicians and recording engineers
than its predecessors but also better structured.
Context-sensitive combi-tools, logically arranged menus and
intuitive new methods of operating in the arrange and edit
windows streamline the workflow as well as reducing the time
taken to master the program. There are also notable improvements
in the way Melodyne integrates into other sequencing
applications and Melodyne3 can read sound libraries created
using Melodyne technology such as those of Ueberschall.s Liquid
Instruments, thereby obtaining access to an almost inexhaustible
supply of licks and phrases.



The ability at last to apply Melodyne.s unique editing
functions to any type of audio material is certainly the main
argument for Melodyne3,. says Peter Neubcker, the founder and
mastermind of Celemony. .This uniquely flexible way of handling
audio material will lead to a whole new style of working in the
studio: with Melodyne3, the note-based rearrangement and
remixing of songs are child.s play, and we.ve streamlined the
workflow in numerous ways in response to requests from users.
As a result, Melodyne is far simpler and more practice-oriented
than ever before.
