1048 Using Region FX

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” on page 1060.

Melodyne is integrated in SONAR via the ARA protocol (see “ARA Audio Random Access” on page

1046). 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.
