At the NAMM show, Celemony Software is presenting for the first time the audio editing software Melodyne uno for Windows and Mac OS X. This smaller version of Melodyne operates like a sample editor, only with the swift and powerful functions characteristic of Melodyne, making it useful for pitch correction, vocal production and the editing of melodies. With the Melodyne audio editing functions on board, Melodyne uno affords the same novel and creative access to mono audio data as its larger stablemates.

There are no arrange levels to worry about, and complex processes such as note recognition operate smoothly in the background out of sight of the user. Like a sample editor, it permits editing of the pitch, tempo, phrasing, formants and timing of monophonic audio files in a direct and uncomplicated manner. What's more, these parameters can be varied over a wide range. Melodyne uno is designed to respond to your input in a highly musical way -- preserving the original phrasing (including the vibrato) for example, when performing corrections in pitch.

Melodyne uno displays the analyzed audiodata as a series of notes and also outputs the pitch, note lengths and phrasing in the form of MIDI data, making totally new and highly interesting combinations of audio file and synthesizer sound possible. Melodyne uno can handle all commonly encountered audio formats as well as integrating smoothly into all conventional MIDI/Audio sequencers.

Melodyne uno for Windows and Mac OS X costs around 150 US$ and should be available in April 2004.
