This service update 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.

Improvements:
- Support for the latest version of the Mac operating system: OS 10.5 (Leopard)
- Support for the current Pro Tools version 7.4.
(Please note the information about Spot-to-Pro-Tools under „Known Bugs")
- Support for an additional sample rate: 176.4 kHz
- The Activation Assistant now offers a button for the import and export of li-
cense data as an alternative to the drag 'n' drop method

Bug fixes:
- The problem that sometimes caused the cursor of a ReWire host to jump to
an unexpected position when you selected "Stop" within Melodyne has been
solved
- Mac: the format of exported data has been modified to allow certain other
programs (e.g. GarageBand, DP) to read it correctly
- Win: the ASIO streams of audio interfaces with a large number of inputs and
outputs are now listed correctly

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.

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.

Very high quality time stretching and pitch shifting — even for polyphonic and complex audio material (Melodyne studio only)
Whether the material contains block chords (homophony) or parts that are melodically and rhythmically independent (polyphony), Melodyne3 is able to apply pitch shifting, time stretching and quantization to it in real time — and the sound quality is all you would expect from Melodyne. This uniquely flexible way of handling audio material will lead to a whole new style of working in the studio: with Melodyne3, the note-based rearrangement and remixing of songs are child's play, offering producers new creative options when dealing with harmonic tracks.

Far more reliable note recognition
The analysis now takes account automatically of the type of audio material, obviating the need for further programming. If you are batch processing a set of files of the same type, you can also create and store your own recognition templates.

Macros for the correction of intonation and timing errors
The macros introduced by Melodyne uno for the swift correction of notes that are out of tune or mistimed as well as for creative requantization are now also available in the multi-track versions.

Simpler arrangement editing
- New global tempo parameters in the Transport pane
- New intuitive tempo control using the 'Auto-stretch' function
- More efficient tempo control making the existing arrangement tools superfluous
- Context-sensitive Move Notes tool
- Tempo/Time signature changes can be typed in quickly in the Bar/Time ruler

More powerful editing functions
- When you load a single audio file, the Editor opens automatically
- Simpler export of edited audio files – all export parameters are set automatically to the correct values
- Efficient combi-tools streamline the editing of pitch, formants, amplitude and time, making the existing tools superfluous
- You can now access the commands in the tool-based action menus directly from the Edit menu, without needing to change tools
- Blobs can be transposed using Local Sound Synthesis audition control
- You can toggle between the two most recently used tools using a user-definable keyboard shortcut

Data-related improvements
- Batch processing in the Melody Manager
- Compatibility with Liquid Sounds from Ueberschall

Improvements in the layout and workflow
- New navigation and zoom shortcuts in the Arranger and Editor
- Grid size for editing can be set quickly in the Bar/Time ruler
- Easy scrubbing with the Bar ruler in the Arranger and Editor
- Track name boxes can be widened to make them more legible
- Menu structure rationalized and expanded
- Audio-to-MIDI and Play Algorithm parameters are in clearly laid out inspectors and always visible (if desired)

Other improvements
- Improved integration into host sequencers thanks to new Bridge and ReWire interfaces
- Improved track sorting
- Improved plug-in hosting
- Improved drag & drop functionalit

MelodyneBridge: The AU version of the MelodyneBridge has been modified for greater compatibility with Logic Pro 7 and DigitalPerformer 4.5.
MelodyneBridge: When Melodyne is connected through the MelodyneBridge, a newly created arrangement has only four tracks instead of the usual eight. This is because only a few tracks are generally required in this situation.
Many others improvements and corrections. See the release notes

Melodyne 2.0 offers a wide range of integration options and adds many new features. The new version introduces the "MelodyneBridge", a new technology which allows Melodyne to be connected to any VST or AudioUnit host. Though Melodyne remains a stand alone application, it can now be used as if it was an effect plug in - comfortable and without adding any latencies. The MelodyneBridge offers maximum flexibility and allows Melodyne to fit into conventional recording workflows.

In addition, Melodyne 2.0 implements the ReWire protocol and can be connected and synced to all ReWire applications, like Cubase, DigitalPerformer, Live, Logic, ProTools or Reason. It can also be synced to MidiClock and SMPTE, and supports MIDI In and Out as well. Users can control Melodyne via MIDI keyboards and remote controllers (MackieControl, LogicControl, Radical SAC and others) and can send the musical content of audio file as MIDI to synthesizers in realtime. This includes velocity and pitch phrasings, which makes it one of the most impressive audio to MIDI converters available.

Futhermore Melodyne's mixing features have been improved by adding equalizers, insert effects, aux sends and returns, group tracks and - as the first multitrack recording application ever - access to both VST and AudioUnit effect plug-ins (like Waves, Prosoniq, PSP, TCWorks and others). Whilst Melodyne always was running on ASIO, DirectX, SoundManager and CoreAudio based hardware, the Studio Edition of the new version adds DirectIO support to enable the use of Digidesign hardware directly.
