Melodyne DirectNoteAccess

Hey Guys,

This little bit of video that follows may be of interest to the musicians

amongst us, but non-musicians will get a real kick out of seeing what

can now be done to recorded music in graphical form. It's pretty

amazing and it probably will put your creative brain in

overdrive just thinking of it's possibilities of use - the instructional aspect

of dissecting a composition alone is quite mind-boggling.

The video is about 17 minutes long, but you can go ahead to about

the 4 minute mark to start sampling the goodies. Note, especially,

at about 11 minutes, the guy moving Chet Baker's trumpet tones around.

Truly impressive software that should be available later this year.

Below is a snippet of text about the software:

"Once in a while a product comes along that really takes things to another dimension - take the Celemony Melodyne - that put audio into the world of grid editing, enabling incredibly powerful manipulation of recorded audio. Well be prepared to have you mind blown once again. Today Melodyne previewed their Direct Note Access. Essentially, they have made the impossible possible. Take a stereo (or mono) track of polyphonic audio - piano, string quartet or whatever and then through some kind of wizardry, explode this into the separate individual notes and edit to taste as you would with monophonic audio within Melodyne. Yes you heard right."
