Melodyne Studio

Version 4.1.1 comes with a new Separate Note command and some bug fixes.

This constitutes the most extensive update to the entire product family in the company’s history, with the emphasis on Melodyne 4 studio. Highlights include the Sound Editor with its totally new sound design possibilities, DNA Direct Note Access – at last, on an unlimited number of tracks – and ultra-accurate tempo detection. The smaller Melodyne editions – editor, assistant and essential – have also been enhanced.

These service updates improve the general stability of the program and contain numerous enhanced details. Among other things, a ReWire problem was fixed that could lead to unexpected behaviour.

Bug Fixes:

Audio transfer using the MelodyneBridge

Transferring audio via the MelodyneBridge could in some cases damage previously edited files that have been exported using the Save audio command before.

Exporting split stereo files could keep the MelodyneBridge from doing further transfers.

Ableton Live and the MelodyneBridge

Removing a previously inserted MelodyneBridge (AU version only) from a track in Ableton Live could crash Live.

Improvements

Detection can now be switched between MS-Mode (default) and 'normal' stereo (to be set as an option under Preferences). This option allows better handling of files that have no mid/side components, eg. play-along files, where left and right side are completely independent. MS-Mode (the one, that was the only mode before) leads to crosstalk in such cases, but gives you better results in time-stretching of 'normal' files.

If using Melodyne with iLok, there's no need to type in the serial number any more.

MelodyneBridge supports offline-rendering now (as it's done by certain hosts).

RAM usage of MSL (Melodyne Sound Library) files has been improved, working with these files is much smoother now.

Bug Fixes

Detection

In some circumstances batch-detecting many files (100+) could lead to a crash.
[Win XP] During batch-detection switching to the desktop could make Melodyne stop the detection or even freeze.

Editing

"Revert and reset position" could lead to a crash (very short files only).
Sometimes double-click with the modulation tool could lead to a crash.

General

Added tracks now adapt to the name of the audio files dragged to them.
[OS X] Some window constellations (i. e. certain error messages popping up) could lock each other and the program had to be killed.

Plug-ins

The presets of the built-in Podolski synth are installed properly again.
When running the Waves Transform Bundle, Melodyne could crash.

MIDI

The EQ setting is now displayed correctly on the screen when controlled via MIDI remote.
After removing and reconnecting the MIDI interface, it is still recognized now.

Loading files

Monitoring sound files from the Melody Manager can now be done using any output of the audio interface (was output 1/2 only before).
Importing certain polyphonic audio files could lead to a crash.
[Win] Loading certain WAV files could lead to a crash.
Loading certain longer AIF files could lead to a crash.

Saving files

Exporting audio now saves all selected tracks no matter if the editor window is still up in front.
Names may now contain slashes "/" and colons ":" (this could lead to crashes before).
Saving could lead to a crash when files were overwritten.

ReWire

Running as a ReWire client under Logic Pro, Melodyne could crash when notes were deleted.

MelodyneBridge

When running with Sonar 5, creating multiple harmonies could make Melodyne crash.

Sync

When running in MTC sync, Melodyne could crash.

iLok

You don't have to type in your serial number any more after you've changed the license method going back from iLok to challenge/response again.

Melodyne 3.1 runs as 'Universal Binary' now also native on Intel Macs, if desired stand-alone or connected via ReWire, VST, AU or RTAS with a host.

The new version inaugurates the Melodyne Sound Library. The very high-quality sounds are derived from Ueberschall's Liquid Instruments, and were specially conceived, recorded and prepared for flexible use with Melodyne technology.

In version 3.1, Melodyne studio and cre8 can use the iLok dongle as an option for authorisation, making the flexible use of Melodyne on different computers and in different studios possible, even if you own one Melodyne license only. If you do not wish to use the iLok dongle, you can still authorize your Melodyne 3.1 with the existing procedure of challenge and response.

Among other new features are the simple management of used audio files, a switchable pitch grid, extended combi tools, a common reset function for all pitch editing, new keyboard commands, a percentage entry for time stretching and a tempo tapping function. In addition, the polyphonic algorithm of the studio version has again been considerably improved.

Melodyne 3.1 also exports tracks notewise now if desired. Where possible, the MIDI Root Key is written automatically into the files created – which is ideal as it allows you to use these quickly in the sampler and without the additional trouble of mapping. In addition, the new version now also reads automatically the tempo information contained in many files (e.g. Apple Loops and Acid files).

For version 3.1, all known bugs have been fixed and ReWire stability further improved.
