Melodyne 4.2 and Logic
Melodyne 4.2 is now updated to Release 4.2, with the latest release Melodyne 4.2 and Logic Pro X 10.4.2 work more closely and efficiently together.
Better integrated via ARA: Melodyne and Logic
Thanks to ARA Audio Random Access, Melodyne 4.2 and Logic Pro X 10.4.2 work more closely and efficiently together. Here are the most important workflow advantages in a nutshell.
You can open tracks without transfers: Just load Melodyne as an insert effect, start playback and the entire track will appear automatically in Melodyne. There is no further need for transfers.
Melodyne follows all changes you make to the track: Melodyne compares its contents to those of the audio track and accurately replicates any lengthening, shortening or movement of regions.
Real copies and ghost copies of regions: When regions are copied, looped or cloned, the Melodyne content behaves accordingly as a real copy or as a ghost copy (Loop).
Region-based mixing: Regions edited with Melodyne now support all the mix functions of the region inspector in Logic: Region Gain, Mute and Fades.
You can use Melodyne as early as the comping stage: Now you can edit takes with Melodyne before committing yourself to a choice between them, which gives you a more realistic assessment of their respective merits, leading to better results.
The management of transfer files is a thing of the past: Thanks to ARA, there is no need anymore to keep transfer files in mind and archive them or pass them on to collaborators.
New functions and improvements in Melodyne 4.2
ARA in Logic: Melodyne 4.2 supports ARA integration into Apple’s new Logic Pro X 10.4.2. With ARA, transfers are no longer necessary in Logic, and Melodyne follows all changes made to the audio track.
The transfer path in Cakewalk/Sonar: When using the Melodyne VST3 plug-in in Cakewalk/Sonar, the transfer path is now created automatically within the current project (Cakewalk Projects / / Melodyne / Transfers).
Improved interaction: Melodyne 4.2 interacts even better with Studio One and now requires Studio One Version 3.5.6 or later.
Additional keyboard shortcut: You can now assign a keyboard shortcut from the Preferences dialog for the command “Reseparate Notes at Starting-Point Lines” that appears in the context menu in Note Assignment Mode; the shortcut is then also available in edit mode.
Bug fixes

- Fixed: If the Scale Window was open when you switched from edit mode to Note Assignment Mode, the wrong area of the timeline used to be displayed.
- Fixed: In the Sound Editor, no peak values were displayed for the spectrum when Note Assignment Mode was active.
- Fixed: In Melodyne studio’s track list, the “Edit” and “Reference” buttons could both be activated by Alt-clicking.
- Fixed: In Melodyne studio, when multiple tracks were copied simultaneously, their contents were sometimes swapped.
- Fixed: In Melodyne essential, the assignable keyboard shortcut for “Separate Notes as Trills” was missing.
- Fixed: In Melodyne essential, opening a document saved by Melodyne studio sometimes resulted in the wrong track being displayed.
- Fixed: In the stand-alone application, it was impossible to copy and paste notes in Tempo Assignment Mode.

Melodyne 5 Released – Note-based Audio Editing Enhanced Tool
Melodyne 5 Released – Note-based Audio Editing Enhanced Tool
Celemony announced today the new version of Melodyne 5. The new version comes with a brand new Chord Track, sibilant detection, Fade and Leveling tools, new and improved algorithms, and more.
Melodyne 5 adds new technologies, for better results in less time. Thanks to the fundamentally improved “Melodic” algorithm, Melodyne 5 makes your vocal editing even better than before. With perfect, natural corrections at the press of a key. With Chord Track you can adapt notes with lightning speed to suit the song – chord recognition included. And with the unique Fade Tool, you can create note-based fades – even in polyphonic recordings and samples.
New in Melodyne 5
- Ability to edit pitched and noise-like components separately with the “Melodic” algorithm
- A more musical analysis of pitch deviations
- Chord Track and Chord Grid for pitch editing, chord recognition
- Fade Tool and Leveling Macro for editing dynamics
- An additional algorithm (“Percussive Pitched”) plus other algorithm improvements
- Search functions for keyboard shortcuts, saving of shortcut sets
Vocals, now even better
Melodyne heightens its core competence. The “Melodic” algorithm used for vocals can now distinguish the unpitched, noise-like components of a note – i.e. voiceless consonants (such as sibilants like “s”) and breath sounds – from its pitched components. Even when they coincide. And although all pitch and timing changes are implemented in a tried-and-tested manner as far as the pitched components are concerned, different rules that emulate accurately the natural behavior of the human voice govern the handling of sibilants. So now when you are working with Melodyne, you obtain the highest possible sound quality and most natural-sounding results automatically.
Pros will be relieved to discover it’s no longer necessary to isolate each individual sibilant by hand. That saves a lot of time and makes for a more meaningful display in the Note Editor. At the same time, the results sound far better, as automation works more precisely and overlaps between sibilants and pitched components are taken into account.
Sibilant detection not only yields acoustic advantages but also new creative possibilities: With the Sibilant Tool, you can adjust the balance between the sibilants and the pitched components of note. Sibilants can be attenuated, muted altogether, emphasized, or even isolated – everything is possible. So, into the bargain, you get a perfect de-esser that only affects the problem areas and has no side-effects on other components of the vocal sound.
Melodyne 5 is available in four different editions: Studio, Essential, Assistant, and Editor.

Why do some notes sound out of tune and not others? Fluctuations in pitch contribute to the quality of vocal performance because it is through them that passion and emotional complexity find expression. They give it, in other words, its human dimension. But for their contribution to be a positive one, the nature, scope, and precise timing of such fluctuations is of crucial importance.
A note doesn’t necessarily sound sharp or flat just because it isn’t “spot on” mathematically. Just particular, often very brief segments of the note annoy us. Sometimes at the beginning, sometimes at the end, sometimes somewhere in between. It is these crucial segments that have to be perfectly in tune; if they are, the note will sound right to us. The presence of any fluctuations before or after to such segments doesn’t trouble us – to the contrary, we feel they add life to the performance and sound natural. Melodyne now identifies these problem areas precisely, and the offset shown in the Note Inspector is calculated from the pitch of each note at the crucial moment only – not its entire lifetime. As a result, double-clicking (to set a note’s offset to zero) now yields precisely the right musical result. Also the macro profits from this new, even more, musical approach: Each individual note is pitched to perfection. Yet everything still sounds natural and alive.
Let Melodyne 5 studio convince you: try it out for 30 days – free of charge and without obligation. You can test all its functions to your heart’s content and without any limitations, saving everything and making further use of it later – exactly as though you’d already purchased the application.
