Melodyne editor employs the patented DNA algorithms that allow you to edit any instrument track or sample and reshape it musically in any way you like. You can change not only tempos, rhythms and melodies but also the harmonic structure of the music.

In addition to all the functions of the smaller editions, Melodyne editor offers you:

DNA Direct Note Access
Melodyne’s unique DNA algorithms give you access to individual notes within chords, so you can not only correct wrong notes in piano or guitar recordings but also adapt samples of all kinds to match the harmonies of your project, introduce any number of variations and even “recompose” samples altogether to create something new.

Edit Chords
Thanks to DNA, you can correct and perfect the performance of individual notes within chords employing Melodyne’s entire arsenal of tools and macros – or even change the chord itself by adding, subtracting or changing the pitch of individual notes. Add fades, shift formants, improve timing, control vibrato - the possibilities are endless. You decide which notes sound and exactly how they sound - right down to the very last detail.

Samples Play Along with the Song
Thanks to the Chord Grid and Melodyne's ability to identify the chords, you can, with very little effort, make rigid loops come alive and adapt elegantly to the changing harmonies of the song.

Encyclopedic Scale Functions
Thanks to its astonishing flexibility in the handling of scales, temperaments and tunings, Melodyne is at home in all the world’s musical genres. It recognizes even the most exotic scales as well as letting you define your own.

Advanced Tempo Functions
You can edit tempos and tempo progressions with the same musical sensitivity as notes. Synchronize overdubs to tempo fluctuations in a live performance or, if you prefer, eliminate these altogether.

In a Nutshell
Melodyne editor is also perfect for vocals. But even more remarkably, with this edition you can edit polyphonic instruments like the piano or the guitar and samples of all kinds. With Melodyne editor, you can take ordinary library samples and turn them into something unique, perfectly tailored to the rhythm, tempos and harmonies of your entire song.

Melodyne comes in four different editions, the smallest being Melodyne essential and the largest Melodyne studio. All of them use the same algorithms and tone generation technology; they differ only in the range of functions offered. All editions share the following features:

Note-Based, Musical Operation
Melodyne identifies the individual notes within an audio file and understands the place of each within the overall musical context. Thanks to its intuitive operation, it affords you easy access to every detail of every note, giving you an incomparable degree of control over the performance.

Fine-Tuning Note Assignments
Although as a rule the musical analysis of your recordings and samples is highly accurate, instances may occur where the material is ambiguous and Melodyne hasn’t quite interpreted it as you would wish. Fortunately, this is easily remedied: You can edit and fine-tune Melodyne’s interpretation to your heart’s content, until it tallies exactly with your own.

Algorithms for Melodic, Percussive and Complex Audio Material
Edit vocals, instruments, drums, drones - Versatility is one of Melodyne’s greatest strengths.

Intelligent Macros for Pitch, Timing and Volume
Intelligent macros make remedying defects and enhancing recordings a simple, fast and intuitive task, reducing to a bare minimum the number of clicks required.

Chord Functions
The Chord Grid and Chord Track let you work with exceptional speed and efficiency. If you want, Melodyne will even identify the chords for you.

You’re ALWAYS Given a Choice
Melodyne never alters your material automatically. You’re the one in control at all times. With the power to shape every facet of every note in an intuitive and musical fashion.

macOS and Windows
You can run every edition either as a stand-alone application or as a plug-in (VST3, AU, AAX). DAW integration using ARA Audio Random Access is especially user-friendly.

All Editions are Compatible with One Another
A project begun in Melodyne essential can be opened later in Melodyne studio and edited using the larger function set of the more powerful edition. By the same token, a project edited using Melodyne studio can be opened and played back in Melodyne essential with all the earlier edits faithfully reproduced. However, if you wish to do any further editing there, it will be using the more limited function set of Melodyne essential.
