Oh, look they have invented Melodyne!
It looks exactly like it, yeah. But let’s hope it sounds better…
I wonder if it breaks up chords like melodynes D.N.A
It looks like the old version of Melodyne. How can these guys not get a cease-and-desist?
We know singers who do that all the time.
The means to stretch or shrink errant note position is obviously useful, much like being able to slide MIDI events into place, but this is more like a matter of good time management. How much time do you spend actually playing versus data shuffling? I made better headway once I realized that there were “right brain” times for composing and “left brain” ones for housekeeping. I sometimes choose to simply edit and tweeze so that I make better compositional headway at muse-time. With Melodyne and this, I think better performance in the first place is more of an answer than micro-editing beyond a certain point. If I was also involved in singing and/or acoustic players, this would have a lot more value, but for keyboard playing, less so. I don’t need this the same way I don’t need a real Clavinet now, but its a serious item to have, all the same. I’ve seen and heard the results, so I respect it for not merely being a solution looking for a problem. Logic’s Flex Time does part of this, so I can get behind the function as being legit.
For me I only want this for creative sampling applications. Getting a melody of an old record and changing the notes to create a different melody but keeping the ‘sound’ of the original recording
I see what looks like a Mac GUI and a Firefox contextual menu. :/
Anyone’s thoughts after downloading the demo?
