Vocal polishing of the highest quality, the removal of wrong notes from piano recordings, incredible harmonic and rhythmic freedom: Melodyne editor is the most powerful edition of our one-track product family and offers you the entire spectrum of Melodyne's award-winning capabilities.
The New Power of Melodyne
Melodyne editor, with its Direct Note Access technology, makes possible what had previously been considered impossible: access to individual notes in polyphonic audio material. Correct wrong notes in a piano recording; change the chords in a guitar accompaniment after the recording is over; refashion a sample lick. Melodyne editor lets you do things of which, until now, you could only dream.
Massive Freedom
With Melodyne editor you can edit your audio material in an intuitive and flexible way. Simply move an audio note to a different pitch or a different position. Make notes longer or shorter, louder or softer. Delete notes from chords or add new ones by copying. Transpose or quantize your material, create from it melodic, harmonic and rhythmic variations. Once you’ve experienced the power to reshape audio in this way, you won't want to live without it.
The Best of Company
Melodyne software is at home in all the great studios of the world and can be heard on countless productions. Leading producers are of one voice in praising the sound quality, flexibility, swiftness and reliability that Melodyne brings to their day-to-day work. Melodyne editor continues this great tradition and with DNA Direct Note Access permits completely new applications that make Melodyne still more indispensable.
A New Audio Age
Melodyne editor with DNA Direct Note Access represents a quantum leap in audio editing and the logical continuation of the musical approach for which Melodyne is known. Direct Note Access will change the way we work with audio. A new, simpler and more creative audio age is dawning–and with Melodyne editor you’re in at the start.
First Take: Final Take
With Melodyne editor, that inspired first take can be the final one—even if it wasn't error-free. Simply reach into the recording and move wrong notes to the right places. If you wish, you can even correct intonation or timing errors automatically by macro—even in polyphonic material.
Perfect Vocals
Melodyne has proved itself a thousand times in the correction and optimization of vocal recordings. Melodyne editor offers still greater mastery of this high art. Intonation and timing problems, erratic volume, exaggerated or insufficient vibrato—all these can be corrected with a few mouse clicks, yielding results of the highest Melodyne quality.
Perfect Timing
With Melodyne editor, it's child's play to get things spot-on. When quantizing, Melodyne moves individual notes to the correct beats and even adjusts their length individually in the process—also in polyphonic material. That guarantees results of unprecedented musicality. Just as effortlessly, you can give your recordings a swing or a completely different rhythm.
Polyphony à la carte
With Melodyne editor, monophony and polyphony are within the scope of your creative freedom. You can remove notes from chords to thin out over-dense accompaniments, or else copy and move notes to implement doubling, create second voices, or construct chords where none were there before.
Sound Library Reloaded
With Melodyne editor, much will change. Including your sound library, which will become virtually infinite in extent. Since you'll be able to alter at will the tempo, timing, rhythm, melody and harmonies of your samples, adding or deleting notes as you please, you'll always have perfect samples to hand for the production you're working on. And as many variations as you wish.
Design Right Down to the Details
Access to the individual notes offers totally new freedom in sound design. You can, for example, alter the volume or formant spectrum of individual notes in order to give chords a different coloration and character. By copying and pasting, you can even swap sounds–replacing, for example, the piano sounds of a chord with marimba sounds, even if they were taken from a totally different chord.
No Detours
Melodyne editor operates directly within your DAW. You hear all edits in the context of the other tracks of your project and can use as many instances as you like and your computer will allow. And for the swift editing of a sample between times, you can open Melodyne editor in stand-alone mode without having to start up your DAW first.

- Monophonic and Polyphonic Material
In the case of monophonic (solo voice, saxophone, bass guitar...) and polyphonic (piano, guitar...) audio material, the following possibilities exist for editing notes:
modifying the pitch
- modifying the pitch drift
- modifying the pitch modulation
- modifying the position
- modifying the length
- modifying the volume
- shifting the formant spectrum
- modifying the pitch of any transition between notes
- modifying the volume of any transition between notes
- shifting the formant spectrum of any transition between notes
- timing (re-)quantization, manually or via macro
- pitch quantization, manually or via macro
- cut, copy and paste
If, in the case of polyphonic material, two or more instruments play a note of the same pitch on the same beat, one note only, representing the combined sound of the instruments in question, is available for editing (no separation of instruments).
Rhythmic and Complex Material
In the case of rhythmic and complex material, separation is according to beats, so if several notes (e.g. click and snare) sound on the same beat, they are available for editing in the shape of one Melodyne blob only. For such blobs, the following editing possibilities exist:
modifying the pitch (relative)
- modifying the position
- modifying the length
- modifying the volume
- shifting the formant spectrum
- modifying the volume transition between blobs
- shifting the formant spectrum of transitions between blobs
- timing quantization, manually or via macro
- cut, copy and paste
