Until now, Melodyne was unable to distinguish the pitched portion of notes from non-pitched vocal artifacts such as sibilants, plosives, and breaths. The result lets you attain greater perceived pitch accuracy much faster while still preserving the fluctuations that retain a natural human quality-robot voices optional. Now, Melodyne identifies the portion that is psychoacoustically out of tune and uses that as the reference point for adjustment. The new algorithm factors in the reality that, while pitch often fluctuates over a note’s duration, we really only perceive pitch accuracy according to a critical portion of the note.

In previous versions, the software used the average pitch across the duration of a note when correcting to the grid. Melodyne 5’s algorithm is much more attuned than earlier incarnations to the confluence of human vocal performance and perception. Macro sliders provide the option of dialing in corrections across a selection range while keeping the values relative across the affected notes.

Using a modifier key lets you adjust without constraint for fine tuning. Dragging a blob vertically-or simply double-clicking-snaps its pitch to the pitch grid. They represent the waveforms of the individual notes Melodyne detects in the source audio. Unlike with MIDI, though, the objects on the grid are blobs.


The focal point of all versions of Melodyne 5 is a familiar piano-roll style grid.
