For those in a hurry: Melodyne assistant in 10 minutes
edit menu offers a sub-menu with a variety of selection commands. To make a
selection, use one of the following techniques:
• Standard techniques such as clicking, [Shift]-clicking and lassoing to select and
deselect notes
• [Shift]-click and then drag the mouse to enter Snake Selection mode
• Select notes by clicking or dragging in the Pitch Ruler; double-clicking selects
notes with the same name in all octaves rather than simply at the pitch clicked
• In the Pitch Ruler also, you can [Shift]-click or [Shift]-drag to add or remove
notes from the selection
• In the Edit menu, you will find the usual ‘Select All’ command but also a submenu with special selection commands
Copying and pasting
Melodyne assistant allows you to cut, copy and paste blobs. If prior to pasting a
blob (the ‘source’ blob) you select another (the ‘target’ blob), when you paste,
the former will replace the latter. If no blob is selected at the time of pasting, the
source blob will be pasted at the cursor position. If, however, the blob was offset
from the grid prior to copying, it will be offset from the playback cursor after pasting and by the same amount; if you want the insert point and the cursor position
to coincide exactly, set the Time Grid to ‘Seconds’ prior to pasting.
Macros and tools
The pitch and time correction macros (reached via the buttons in the top right
corner) can be applied to a selection. If no tones are selected, the macro in question operates on all the notes. Manual editing is performed using the tools in the
Toolbox. The tools are in some cases context-sensitive, offering different functions
when moved over different parts of a blob. For finer adjustment, hold the [Alt] key
when changing parameters. You can also open the Toolbox by right-clicking in the
editing area.
•T
he shortcut [Command]+[Up/Down Arrow] applies the main function of the
selected tool to the selected blob. Hold the [Alt] key to change the values by
finer increments.
The following chart provides an overview of the functions of the various tools,
indicating how these vary depending upon which part of the blob is clicked or
dragged and upon whether you single- or double-click. The shape of the mouse
pointer provides a further indication of the function a given tool will perform in a
given context.
