Celemony Software GmbH, Munich, 15.11.2019 (ictw) – Celemony celebrates jubilee: 10 years ago, in November 2009, Melodyne editor with its new DNA technology was released. This, for the first time in the history of recording, allowed the note-based editing of polyphonic audio recordings.
DNA Direct Note Access makes the impossible possible by allowing individual notes in polyphonic material to be identified and edited. The unique access that Melodyne offers to the pitch, timing, duration and other parameters of notes in monophonic material is extended through DNA Direct Note Access to include notes forming part of chords. Like Melodyne itself, DNA Direct Note Access is a development that has radically and forever altered the handling of audio. Melodyne with DNA Direct Note Access allows you to intervene in the audio material in ways that were unthinkable before and that range from subtle enhancements to total re-composition.
The presentation of DNA Direct Note Access early in 2008 was the highlight of the Musikmesse in Frankfurt and met with an enthusiastic response from musicians, industry insiders and journalists alike. But integrating the new technology took time. A great deal of time. So much time, in fact, that some users began to suspect it had all been a hoax and that Peter Neubäcker had absconded to the South Seas with his invention and his laurels. Far from it. It’s just that the solid implementation of pioneering new technology in a software product does take a great deal of time. Finally, after a public beta test in the course of the summer, Melodyne editor 1.0 with DNA Direct Note Access was released in November 2009.
Today, ten years on, Melodyne editor is available in the further developed and improved Version 4. DNA and the editing of individual notes in polyphonic audio material remain to this day a unique feature of Melodyne.

About Celemony
Celemony is the pioneer and market leader in the musical, note-based editing of audio. The company’s principal product, Melodyne, inaugurated this type of audio editing in 2001, established itself in the intervening years – for vocal editing in particular – as the standard worldwide, and has gone on pushing out the envelope in innovative audio editing ever since to the limits of what is technically possible. In 2008, for example, Celemony presented its patented DNA Direct Note Access, which extended Melodyne’s editing capabilities to polyphonic audio material – right down to individual notes within chords. Other important technologies developed by Celemony include the musically intelligent restoration tool Capstan, the pioneering plug-in interface ARA, the unique Sound Editor introduced by Melodyne 4 and – another Melodyne 4 revelation – Multitrack Note Editing, which facilitates the simultaneous, note-based editing of an unlimited number of audio tracks. Melodyne and Celemony have won numerous awards – among them, in 2012, the Technical Grammy.
