MESSE08:Melodyne Blows Our Minds

Direct Note Access - tis the work of the devil I tell you..

12-Mar-08

Once in a while a product comes along that really takes things to another dimension - take the Celemony Melodyne - that put audio into the world of grid editing, enabling incredibly powerful manipulation of recorded audio.

Well be prepared to have you mind blown once again. Today Melodyne previewed the their Direct Note Access. Essentially, they have made the impossible possible. Take a stereo (or mono) track of polyphonic audio - piano, string quartet or whatever and then through some kind of wizardry, explode this into the separate individual notes and edit to taste as you would with monophonic audio within Melodyne. Yes you heard right.

It's kind of hard to explain, watch the video - it's a real doodie. Outside of a keynote speech by Steve Jobs, you rarely hear the crowd cheer as software features are unveiled....

Available later this year as part of the Melodyne 2.0 update (in plug-in form first).

Celemony Direct Note Access makes anybody play like Vanessa-Mae

Celemony introduces new revolutionary audio editing software that enables the editing of single notes inside a polyphonic recording.

This is pretty amazing stuff. For instance music producers can fix a note in a normal audio recording of a piano segment, in case the player hit the wrong one.

Other examples would be to tune a guitar after recording, correct harmony vocals that are out of tune, or fix their timing, turn major chords to minor (and vice versa), switch tone scales, mute single notes, remix volume levels, etc., and this all after the performance is already taped.

The capability is similar to if you would be editing a MIDI file.
Editing options include pitch shifting, time stretching, formants, and amplitude, etc.

Direct Note Access will be available later this year (autumn) in the Melodyne editor. See a video below that explains and demonstrate this cool new software. You could cancel the search for Super Stars right now, as anybody can be edited now into one.

More details about Melodyne and Direct Note Access can be found on the Celemony site. Via Heise (German).
