Sorry about disrupting the other thread.

here's more info on Melodyne2 and the new polyphonic pitch and audio separation voodoo.

Its a video presentation from Music Messe by the Melodyne wizard himself. http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=6281

notice at 12 minutes in Peter disassembles a 1950's Chet Baker record and repitches the trumpet without affecting the bass, drums or guitar.

absolutely gorgeous.. One can argue that he simply reversed the principle of additive synthesis, probably said to himself:

"Well, so we have a synth to add harmonics and get wave from, I, on my behalf, have a wave to get harmonics off."

BUT how the hell the software can distinguish which harmonics relate to a note and which to another note? That's the point!

The Chet thing is very interesting... but I found the interview at the end to be the most interesting part... Peter Neubaker says he's not a DSP guy but a programmer interested in music. He also downplays the CPU-power portion of the development. It's clear the power has to be there to make if feasible but it's the clever programming that really makes is possible. I hope the 'how-it's-done' part can be made public someday in the not-to-distant future.

Does anyone know if there's patent protection pending? (As opposed to copywrite).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
