New features in Melodyne 5:

  • New "Melodic" algorithm (sibilance detection) can edit pitched and non-pitched noise components of the human voice separately, resulting in better pitch correction results, more natural vocals, and saving more editing time
  • Analysis that adds more musicality to pitch deviations
  • Chord track and chord grid for pitch editing and chord identification
  • Fade tool and Leveling Macro function for editing dynamics, also available for polyphonic use
  • Improvements to Percussive Pitched and many additional algorithms
  • Shortcut search function and save shortcut settings

Make the vocals better

In the latest version, Melodyne 5, Melodyne further enhances its core capabilities. Its "Melodic" algorithm for vocals now distinguishes non-pitched noise components within individual notes, such as sibilance (soft consonants like "S") and breath sounds, even when they overlap. Vocalists will find that this automatic sibilance detection not only provides greater accuracy but also opens up new creative possibilities, such as adjusting the balance between non-pitched sibilance and pitched sounds. Sibilance can be attenuated, boosted, completely muted, or even removed without affecting other vocal components. This significantly saves vocal editing time while delivering better results and a more natural sound.

Enhanced chord recognition technology

Melodyne 5 introduces a Chord Track linked to the Pitch Grid in the Note Editor. This makes chord manipulation and harmonic pairing easier and more intuitive. You can always see which pitches fit the current chord and quickly adjust the notes accordingly, making any sample fit harmoniously with your music at your fingertips.

Advanced chord recognition technology can also consider tracks separately or together, even up to the point of including entire mixes, and can also identify the chords formed when you combine notes. It can quickly and reliably analyze your recordings and automatically fill in the chord names, making chord processing easier.

Dynamic Features

Individual note-based fade tools give you efficient control over the dynamics of your recordings, even with polyphonic material. Individual fades are automatically preserved when notes are moved or copied. And the Leveling Macro function adjusts volume differences within chords. Leveraging Melodyne's powerful polyphonic technology, you can easily raise one or more weak notes within a chord to the desired level, even if they're too quiet to be drowned out by the other notes.

More algorithm improvements

  • Percussive Pitched: This algorithm was developed specifically for instruments such as tabla, berimbau, or 808 kick drum, whose notes, despite their percussive nature, still have a recognizable pitch.
  • Robust Pitch Curve: This algorithm allows you to achieve better sound quality when editing certain signals (e.g. signals with a lot of reverb). When activated, the mono algorithm uses a slightly smoother pitch curve.
  • Complex: The playback type of this algorithm has been improved and is now as flexible as the playback type "Tonal" regarding formants.
