Melodyne started life as a Mac multitrack program that sort of lived off in its own world and didn't integrate well with other applications. The bottom line is that it's a brilliant program, particularly for working with vocals. Of course, other programs let you do timestretching and pitch-shifting, but Melodyne 's speciality is a detection process that causes audio to appear very much like MIDI notes in a piano roll editor, which you manipulate in the same way. You can change pitch and rhythm, cut/paste/copy notes, alter formants, and much more, as well as using MIDI to change note pitches, add pitch-bend, and the like. For those not familiar with Melodyne, it's a program that gives monophonic audio data the same flexibility as MIDI data. Melodyne Meets SonarĪmongst the apps that have been optimised for Sonar, Celemony's Melodyne is one of the most important. Let's look at a couple of the more interesting developments.
And now that the whole VST wrapping process is working just about perfectly, the DXi floodgates are opening up as more and more companies adapt their plug-ins to this format. It's a little ironic: due to the initial paucity of DXi devices, Sonar users flocked to wrappers that would allow VST and VSTi plug-ins to work within Sonar: Cakewalk even acquired the technology for VST-DX Adapter and built it into the program. We investigate a new DXi option that makes vocal manipulation as easy as editing MIDI data. It's not quite a plug-in and not quite an instrument, but MelodyneBridge provides a link between tracks in Sonar and Melodyne.
