History
Celemony is based in Munich, Germany and was founded in October 2000 by Peter Neubäcker, Prof. Dr. Hildegard Sourgens and Carsten Gehle.[1]
In 2009 Melodyne won an MIPA Award for Most innovative product.[2]
Melodyne
Peter Neubäcker, one of the founders of the company was developing their product, Melodyne, as a research experiment with sound for around 3 years before the company was founded.
Melodyne is primarily a pitch correction tool, used by many record producers around the world to tune and manipulate audio signals, typically vocals. But Melodyne can also be used for time-stretching, rebuilding a melody, or the creation of backing vocals from a lead vocal recording. The public first saw Melodyne at the Winter NAMM Show in 2001 and it has since won various awards.
As of 2009, there are five different editions of Melodyne available:
- Melodyne studio
- Melodyne cre8
- Melodyne plugin
- Melodyne uno
- Melodyne essential
Melodyne Direct Note Access
A technology currently in development by Celemony, Direct Note Access allows users to manipulate individual notes within chords and polyphonic recordings independently. Melodyne is the first program to be able to do so. It was set to be released in Q1 2009, although the software was not released in this timeframe. The first software to include this will be Melodyne plugin.[3] [4]
