Melodyne (Producer and Studio only)

To modify pitch and timing with the Main tool

Melodyne's Main tool is similar to SONAR's Smart tool in that it is context-sensitive and has

different functions depending upon its position relative to a note.

Similar to a clip in SONAR, each note (or “blob”) in Melodyne has several hotspots that you can click

to modify the blob. To display these hotspots, select View > Show Blob Info in Melodyne. Melodyne

now displays thin lines to identify the various hotspots when you point to a blob. Each blob has a

front, center, back, and upper hotspot. The mouse pointer indicates the function of each hotspot.

A • Click to select blob.

• Double-click to create a note separation (double-click a note

separation to remove it).

B • Click to select blob.

• Drag left/right to adjust the note length (the beginning of the

note moves while the end remains anchored; any adjacent

note is also stretched/compressed by the same amount).

Tip: To make two adjacent notes completely independent, cut

one of the notes, then paste it right back again.
