Diverse inspectors and browsers provide

swift and intuitive access to all important

parameters, functions and audio files.

The scale and tuning of a recording are

detected with great precision, along with

its musical tempo, and comprehensive

editing is possible of all three.

Melodyne 4’s new user interface can be

flexibly configured and adapted, therefore,

perfectly to your needs or wishes.

In the unique Sound Editor of Melodyne 4

studio, you have access to the overtones

in your recordings and can shape the

sound in as much detail as the musical

content.

In the multi-track Melodyne 4 studio, you

can edit any kind of audio on an unlimited

number of tracks. Stand-alone or in the plug-in.

DNA Direct Note Access, naturally, included.

In the Note Editor, thanks to Multitrack Note

Editing, you can display and edit multiple tracks

simultaneously. This makes the correction and

optimization of multi-track recordings child’s play.

NEWLY DEVELOPED FROM THE BOTTOM UP, STATE-OF-THE-ART, AND JAM-PACKED WITH INNOVATIONS

Melodyne 4 is here

NEW SOUNDSCAPES WITH THE SOUND EDITOR

With the Sound Editor in Melodyne 4 studio, you can edit

the sound of your recordings – just like your music – in a

more musical, detailed and inspiring way. From the subtle

enhancement of envelopes and timbres to the manipulation

of overtones, resynthesis and radical experiments in sound

design.

Melodyne recognizes the notes and their overtones – a decisive

advantage when it comes to sound processing too. Because

conventional audio processors only act upon fixed frequencies,

whereas Melodyne adapts to the audio material itself. Adjust

the level of individual overtones within each track, shape the

basic sound of each instrument, relate the timbre or envelope

of each note to its pitch, bring out the character of each sound

source.

The results are novel acoustically, often unique, invariably

invigorating – yet the Sound Editor is intuitive and lends itself

easily to creative use.

TRACK-TRANSCENDING MACROS

In Melodyne 4 studio, the macros are even more useful

because they are not confined to a single track.

Select notes from as many tracks as you like and correct their

intonation or timing in one go. Furthermore, synchronizing

tracks is particularly easy: just define one track as the quanti-

zation master and sync all the other tracks to it.

MULTITRACK NOTE EDITING

With Melodyne 4 studio, you can work on an unlimited

number of tracks – even with DNA Direct Note Access for

polyphonic material.

Multitrack editing has one very important advantage: you can

see and edit the notes of as many tracks as you like simultane-

ously. The harmony, melody and rhythm of your project can be

seen in context. And you can reach into this plastic image of

the music, select notes and modify them, regardless of which

tracks they belong to.

This works not only in stand-alone mode but also in the

plug-in. On all DAW tracks with the Melodyne 4 studio plug-in

inserted. Never before has the musical interplay of multiple

tracks been as readily observed or intuitively edited.

NEW TEMPO INTELLIGENCE

Melodyne 4’s new tempo algorithms detect tempos, key

signatures and any changes in tempo more accurately than

ever before.

Melodyne 4 tracks precisely the tempo of a live recording, with

all its human inconstancy. The ensuing click keeps time with

the musicians, not the other way around. And still, you enjoy

all the practical benefits of a beat-based grid when working in

your DAW.

Furthermore, you can curb excessive wandering in tempo with-

out ironing-out the minor fluctuations that lend charm to a live

performance. You can also synchronize recordings with quite

different tempos or variations in tempo. Melodyne 4 makes

working with tempo dead simple, letting you work with greater

freedom, in new way.

Feature highlights

BETTER NOTE DETECTION

Melodyne 4 now offers two algorithms optimized for

polyphonic recordings.

Depending upon the audio material, Melodyne employs either

the Polyphonic Sustain (strings, organs…) or Polyphonic Decay

(pianos, guitars…) Algorithm to obtain optimal sound quality in

each case.

Moreover, you can edit the note detection in far greater detail

and therefore manage complex material still more effectively.

So you can work even more closely and precisely on your

music and obtain still higher sound quality from your editing.

TIME-STRETCHING FOR ENTIRE MIXES

The Universal Algorithm in Melodyne is ideally suited to the

time-stretching and pitch-shifting of entire mixes.

The algorithm also delivers outstanding results with poly phonic

material provided no access to individual notes is required.

With its exceptional sound quality and modest CPU demands,

‘Universal’ is an invaluable addition to Melodyne’s array of

algorithms.

MORE ELEGANT, USER-FRIENDLY AND MODERN

Melodyne 4 is easier to use and accelerates your workflow.

With its variably configurable, single-window interface, you can

adapt Melodyne perfectly to your own preferences and working

requirements. What’s more, the new browsers and inspectors

afford a better overview and direct access to all important

parameters.

Beneath the surface, state-of-the-art software technology is at

work – optimized for the latest operating systems, fully compati-

ble with both 32- and 64-bit environments.

DYNAMIC JUST INTONATION

Melodyne 4’s just intonation adds transparency and

penetration to the sound.

Whether you’re working on an orchestral, choral or synthesizer

recording, you’ll find justly tuned chords sound smoother and

more powerful. Give your production the benefit of this unique

acoustic impression.

MANY MORE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

Freely assignable keyboard shortcuts let you control

Melodyne 4 exactly as you wish.

In stand-alone mode and now finally in the plug-in implemen-

tation. So you can work more easily at a far swifter tempo.

An enormous gain in efficiency.
