Manual editing versus macros

There are two methods to edit notes in Melodyne:

• Main tool. Use the Main tool to fine-tune individual notes. For details, see “To modify pitch

and timing with the Main tool” on page 1054.

• Macros. Use macros to automatically edit the selected notes. For details, see “To correct pitch

automatically by macro” on page 1056 and “To correct timing automatically by macro” on page

1057.

You can even combine the two methods. For example, use the macros to quickly correct most pitch

or timing problems, then fine-tune individual notes with the Main tool .

A. Main tool B. Correct Pitch macro C. Quantize Time macro

Note: Polyphonic editing is only available in Melodyne editor with the patented DNA Direct Note

Access technology. In Melodyne assistant and essential, the algorithm for polyphonic material

is present but disabled in the Algorithm menu. This is because you can still open and play back

projects that were created with Melodyne editor and contain polyphonic material, and in such

cases, Melodyne automatically selects the polyphonic algorithm. However, Melodyne assistant

and Melodyne essential do not allow you to edit polyphonic material, or select the polyphonic

algorithm manually.
