Melodyne plugin offers Melodyne's unique functions for the editing of pitch and timing as a plug-in directly integrated into VST-, AU- and RTAS-hosts under Windows XP and Mac OS X.

Melodyne plugin's main area of application is the intuitive correction of the intonation and timing of vocal recordings – a sensitive task it performs in the highly musical manner for which Melodyne software is known. Once you have transferred to Melodyne plugin the passages you wish to edit, you can edit with great precision the pitch, vibrato, drift, timing, volume and formants of every note in the recording individually. Intelligent tools that adapt automatically to the current task streamline the workflow, whilst for the two commonest tasks, correcting errors of intonation and timing, Melodyne plugin provides the Correct Pitch and Quantize Time macros that allow you to optimize an entire recording with a single mouse-click.

With Melodyne plugin you can edit and optimize not only vocals but also single-voice instrumental recordings as well as drum and percussion tracks in a flexible way. With a drum loop, for example, you can alter the position, length, pitch and volume of individual hits, straighten up the timing, make the whole loop swing, or even give it an entirely new rhythm through re-quantization.

Melodyne's famous algorithm for single-voice material as well as a new algorithm for percussive material ensure that even when you introduce extreme modifications, the results remain natural and the sound quality is in no way impaired. The programmable scale snap function provides for harmonically correct transposition, and the multi-level Undo function for relaxed editing. Virtual knobs that can be automated in the host and controlled via MIDI offer real-time control of Pitch, Formants and Volume.
