In tune. On time.
The fast way to perfect tracks.
Melodyne plugin integrates the most important of Melodyne's functions directly into a host sequencer. Correct pitch and timing, quantize audio, restructure melodies and more – it has never been so easy. Supported interfaces are VST, AU and RTAS.
With the ultra-flexible Melodyne plugin, editing audio becomes fast and easy. Thanks to its musical display, unique time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithms, unmatched sound quality and intuitive operation, Melodyne plugin makes the resolution of timing and intonation problems child's play, thereby simplifying, and increasing the efficiency of day-to-day music production in the studio. At the same time, Melodyne plugin offers fantastic creative possibilities way beyond the scope of conventional audio software. See the videos or try out the demo version!
Melodyne plugin's main area of application is the intuitive correction of the intonation and timing of vocal recordings – a sensitive task it performs supremely well and in the highly musical manner for which Melodyne software is known all over the world. Once you have transferred to Melodyne plugin the passages you wish to edit, you can edit with great precision the pitch, vibrato, drift, timing, volume and formants of every note in the recording individually! Intelligent tools that adapt automatically to the current task streamline the workflow, whilst for the two commonest tasks, correcting errors of intonation and timing, Melodyne plugin provides the Correct Pitch and Quantize Time macros that allow you to optimize an entire recording with a single mouse-click.
With Melodyne plugin you can edit and optimize not only vocals but also single-voice instrumental recordings as well as drum and percussion tracks in an extraordinarily flexible way. With a drum loop, for example, you can alter the position, length, pitch and volume of individual hits, straighten up the timing, make the whole loop swing, or even give it an entirely new rhythm through re-quantization.
Melodyne's algorithm for single-voice material as well as a new algorithm for percussive material ensure that even when you introduce extreme modifications, the results remain impressively natural and the sound quality is in no way impaired. The programmable scale snap function provides for harmonically correct transposition, and the multi-level Undo function for relaxed editing. Virtual knobs that can be automated in the host and controlled via MIDI offer real-time control of Pitch, Formants and Volume.
It was never easier to manipulate, correct and optimize audio. Melodyne plugin brings perfection within your grasp!

VOCAL EDITING:
With Melodyne, you can obtain the most from your vocal and instrumental recordings. Intonation and timing problems are solved with a few mouse-clicks. Very intuitive, musical and unobtrusive. As though it had never been otherwise.
Through its unique pitch-shifting and time-stretching capabilities, Melodyne is the ideal tool for improving individual tracks. Simply take hold of a note, move it to the perfect pitch or position, optimize its length or alter the intensity of its vibrato. Such corrections are absolutely unnoticeable; the musical message is preserved, because Melodyne adapts the note transitions and phrasing intelligently. So there are neither jumps nor the notorious Cher effect unless you want it…
With the macros for pitch and time correction, decisive improvements are even made automatically — to individual notes, multiple notes or all the notes of a track according to choice. Melodyne knows which pitches are the correct ones and in which positions the notes ought to be. At the press of a button, Melodyne supplies the necessary corrections and provides for a perfect recording — even after the singer has already left the studio
COMPOSITION:
Reconstruction and rebuilding
With Melodyne, your audio recordings become flexible, stretchable, formable. Vary and rearrange them, mould and reshape them, make them new. Very naturally.
With Melodyne, nothing has to remain as it is. You can change a solo, a phrase, or a rhythm with playful ease. Melodyne's musical way of looking at the material comes to your assistance here: instead of making cuts somewhere in a wave form, you simply take one or several note blobs and move them to a different place. Or you copy them, paste them to a different position, and then transpose or vary the copy. You will be astonished at how natural it sounds.
While you shape your music almost without limits, Melodyne worries about the rest: if desired, the automatic scale adjustment prevents wrong notes; notes are stretched or compressed if need be when pasted, the problem of clicks does not arise, and even the tempo changes and variation of the song are automatically registered and compensated for when notes are moved and copied. That's how easy it can be.
SOUND:
The essence
With Melodyne, you dive into the sound of your recordings. Discover in microcosm the unsuspected life of sounds brought to a near standstill, make trumpets into trombones, kettledrums into triangles, male singers into female singers. Very simply.
With Melodyne's outstanding time stretching and pitch shifting, you can vary and correct your audio material unobtrusively with the very best sound quality — but you can also use these possibilities for extraordinary transformations and effects. You can, for example, stretch a note to such an extent that a short sound is transformed into a fascinating, minute-long sound continuum. Even with such extreme stretching, the starting transients are preserved and the sound remains soft and round.
With Melodyne’s formant parameters, which normally provide for the natural-sounding transposition of vocals and one-part instruments, you can influence the sound either subtly or drastically. The possibilities range from ‘sex changes’ with vocal material to a wide variety of other transformations that include the generation of extremely sharp and shrill sounds such as those produced by distorted electric guitars. The natural phrasing is retained despite even such drastic changes as these. Melodyne always works in a musical way.
INTEGEATION:
Connection-friendly
Melodyne is no island solution. With Melodyne, you remain in your production environment, since Melodyne integrates effortlessly via ReWire, VST, AU or RTAS. Your system. Your workflow.
So you would like to use Melodyne's unique features directly in your host sequencer? Then Melodyne plugin is the easiest way to go. It offers you pitch and timing corrections, audio quantization and much more as a real plug-in (VST, AU, RTAS).
But also our other Melodyne versions can work with your sequencer: all versions (except for Melodyne plugin) can run in ReWire mode. Furthermore, Melodyne studio and cre8 offer a special interface called the MelodyneBridge. Simply load the MelodyneBridge plug-in into your sequencer as an insert effect. Now both programs are connected and can exchange data. In this way, you can use the Melodyne functions whilst continuing to work with all the arrangement and mixer functions of your familiar sequencing software.
