Because, what we have now is not really midi, just notation. You can edit a real midi, that's the whole point. How many times have people asked why can't a Real Track follow your own entered melody or solo or whatever? Apparently using Melodyne you can. There's new post on this with a link to the product description. Reading it, that's exactly what it does, it converts audio to midi so you can edit it.




Actually, what is cool about melodyne is that is lets you edit individual notes WITHOUT converting it to MIDI! It's still audio! But they found a way to isolate the tones and let you edit audio in the same ways we already intuitively edit MIDI (Stretching notes, dragging pitch etc).. and get this: without introducing sound artifacts!

Whether or not you can save the audio as MIDI after it isolates the tones is unknown to me... I've heard both points of view expressed as fact. But they recently released a new version and it is possible that the capabilities have increased just in the past month or so. Here's a link:
