Celemony Presents Melodyne editor 2 at AES
Today, Celemony Software is debuting Version 2 of its Melodyne editor at the AES Convention in NYC.
According to the product announcement, the new version offers unique possibilities for working with different scales and temperaments, more powerful timing tools, Rewire integration, and numerous other improvements.
As a result of these latest enhancements, Melodyne is now a more musical tool – allowing you to go even deeper when editing your material – and is more widely compatible than ever before.
Melodyne editor 2 will be available in November for US$/€ 399, the update costing US$/€ 99.
The latest version of Melodyne editor has been developed with a more universal musicality, based on the understanding that “not all music is played on white and black keys – true intonation is complex. Other cultures have musical traditions in which Mozart and Beethoven do not loom large, and absolute flexibility is also needed in experimental music.”
To that end, Melodyne editor 2 incorporates new True Scale & Tuning functions, which offer those producing Arab, Indian or contemporary and microtonal music an optimal function set for editing their work with Melodyne.

On the True Scale & Tuning functionality, and other new features…
“True Scale & Tuning also has the power to enhance conventional music production, by making it easy for users to explore the emotional and atmospheric subtleties of different scales and temperaments and integrate them into their own music. Countless different scales and temperaments can be loaded, edited in detail, and even created from scratch.
The highlight is the Scale Detective, which is capable of analyzing any sample or piece of music and allows even users with no detailed knowledge to transfer the scale and tuning of one recording to another.
The new Time Handles function in Melodyne editor 2.0
With its note-based way of working Melodyne has always allowed the editing of highly specific aspects of timing, but the function set of Melodyne editor 2 is even more powerful in this respect.
The new Attack Speed tool allows you to edit the starting transients, that are so determinative of the sound – even for each note separately. In addition, with the new Time Handles, even time progressions within individual notes can be reshaped. Among other things, this makes even more detailed editing of vocals possible.”
Melodyne editor 2 now also supports Rewire. This means it can operate now even with DAWs that lack plug-in interfaces or were previously incompatible with Melodyne.
The update to Version 2 brings other minor improvements and workflow optimizations that along with Rewire integration are also included in the free updates to Version 2 of Melodyne assistant and essential.
Melodyne editor 2 will be available in November 2011 for US$/€ 399. The update from Version 1 will cost US$/€ 99, but is free of charge to users who registered Melodyne editor after October 1, 2011. At the same time as the update to Melodyne editor 2, free updates to Version 2 of Melodyne assistant and essential will be released, as well as an updated trial version that allows you to test Melodyne editor for 30 days without any limitations.
