Scott,

There are lots of pitch correction options out there but the 'audio to midi' capabilities is what knocked my socks off. I do not play keyboards...at all, but I do play guitar. I can take a recorded guitar track and convert it to a midi file and then add any VSTi to it.

Perhaps there are other programs that can do that but since I use Presonus Studio One v2 and it comes with Melodyne Essentials and over the summer Melodyne made an offer to Presonus S1 users to upgrade to their top program Melodyne Editor (which can do the audio to MIDI conversion) for $150...I jumped at it!

Here an example:

Since Notes is a midi power user, perhaps this is what he is excited about Then again...maybe not.



You must have paid for an upgrade to get access to your VSTi. That's the single reason I refuse to ever even consider Studio One - one has to pay for the privilege to use VST/VSTi that one has already purchased in the past. I think that's highway robbery, to be honest! I know of no other DAW on the market that forces you to 'pay up' in order to use your pre-purchased software. But, they are obviously getting away with it - S1 has become pretty popular over the past couple years.

Anyways, perhaps that is the function in Melodyne that Notes is interested in, but until he checks in we'll never know.
