This scares me. So could you turn a single sample into a "multisample" with this and then play whatever you want using someone else's synth patch, then? Or does it use something like Roland's veriphrase?
ReplyDelete"meee-deee"? I've always said "mid-eee".
ReplyDeleteVery interesting technology - but to my ears, Melodyne has always added a slightly vocoder-ish sound to altered notes.
But if you have a take with perfect energy and passion, and there's a bum note, it would be nice to have the option of correcting the bum note rather than try to duplicate the same energy and passion with a second take.
This is a great step in music tech. Imagine the next level past this where you can load up an entire complete song and reach in and rearrange the notes.
ReplyDeleteI like the "tone scale" feature and can see some great uses for it.
I wish DAWs could license this tech and have it integrated into the software at the core somehow. Melodyne is super but it's still an extra step.
well Melodyne runs as VST, AU etc. so you can in fact integrate it with most DAWs anyway.
ReplyDeleteThose really amazing possibility scare me a little bit. Playing skills get more and more superfluous in a studio environment, don't they.
But everybody knows how frustrating one or two bum notes or chords in a nearly perfect take can be. I think I could use Melodyne a lot coz I prefer audio to midi recordings.
we long ago achieved the capability of almost-complete digital manipulation of a performance. things like this are just the last 5 percent.
ReplyDeletei've used both melodyne and digital performer's method of this sort of manipulation (the earlier, monophonic kind) and i personally prefer Mark of the Unicron's results. melodyne is quite an amazing program though and i suppose if i were back in the saddle producing records for people who didn't like my results until years after the fact then i would probably be very excited about this.
as it were, please excuse me. i'm going to get back to soldering ...
I remember stumbling across the resume of the inventor of Passport's (now GVox) Encore notation software, and seeing on his resume where he had a patent on polyphonic note extraction. Anybody remember who that was, and if this is using the same patent?

ReplyDeletesuitandtieguy, agreed, but until now one actually may still save a lot of time by playing accurately instead of correcting the audio track in the DAW, at least that's my experience. It is hilarious to change every second note in a simple scale run by drag & drop if you can actually play it in no time.
ReplyDelete(edit: brain salad :)
for reference ...
ReplyDeletepersonally, i like dicking around with well-played tracks to come up with something new than turd-polishing shit playing. i'm actually pretty much disinterested in this as for some reason i'm more concerned with recreating the KLF's Trance Central circa 1990 in my studio now than fixing other peoples mistakes on a full-colour TFT flatscreen.
direct note access is a huge leap forward in music production.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see what it picks out of a distorted metal guitar chord. What about full songs. If it's just for acoustic clear audio, it's not gonna work for lots of people.
ReplyDeleteomg crazy stuff!
