Thanks Pipeline. Also saw your comment on the related post in the Recording forum.

I'm very much excited to upgrade. I'm on Melodyne Editor.

Lots of good stuff. They released a group of 18 videos with the news of Melodyne 5. Lots of geek factor in these for those who like to learn all of this....

I'm using editor here also. Upgrade was $99, not a bad price IMHO.

Haven't got deeply into it yet, but did try out the chord track/analyse function. Brilliant!

Yes, I upgraded through Sweetwater since I have a card with them. Went to enter the key code at Celemony and found I had upgraded to Studio and some point. I totally forgot!

I called Sweetwater and they were able to refund my Editor upgrade and get me the Studio upgrade I needed. Great customer service! I was able to get the correct code in and I'm up and running.

I really enjoyed the chord functions video.

OK, I have Melodyne 4, Assistant. It does not have DNA Direct Note Access – algorithms for polyphonic instruments such as piano and guitar. So I assume all this "Chord Stuff" onlyl works with the more expensive versions? Is that correct?

You can try 5 but make a copy of your version 4 vst32 vst64 vst3 and standalone as 5 will overwrite.

I'm still using an early version of Melodyne but it is the poly version. Very hand tool indeed.

You need Editor or Studio for this “Chord Stuff”.


Ya, that is what I figured, thanks for confirming. Looks like $249 needed for dual upgrade, version 4 to 5 and assistant to Editor.

Then there is EZBass for $149. No way I can spend $400 and get both. cry

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBy_JuYTuGM

It shows about the chord options. At the end he goes on to say that even the Essentials Program will display chords. You can only edit monophonic but it will display the chords (polyphonic).

That’s how I understand it.

Wonderful grin The video clearly says the chord identification works in all versions of Melodyn. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The $49 upgrade is much more palatable.

I just looked at the requirement spec for Melodyne 5 and it says from Windows 10 is required.
Anyone still on windows 7 try it yet?

I have Melodyne Studio 4.2.3.001. I use it almost every day for pitch and time correction...

Apparently my upgrade price for Studio 5 is $149.
I'm wondering if it's worth the price... any thoughts..?

I upgraded because of the sibilance feature. That looks like a game changer for me.

Here is my benchmark standards for software:


no-brainer limit < $49 USD
stretch-limit $50 - $99 USD
ouch-limit $100 - $149 USD
but I really need this limit $150 - $199
no-way limit >$200


I have Melodyne Assistant 4.0, to upgrade to Melodyne Assistant 5.0 - $49
Then to go up to Studio 5.0 is another $199. So I am asking the same question as you grin

I upgraded from Studio 4 to 5 as well. For me it's about having the latest features and tech. Go through all the info they have on the new features of 5 and make the choice. If you cannot justify the money because 4 is doing every thing you need it to, don't upgrade.

Repeating the link for all the videos for you to peruse. That helped me a lot.

If you would like to do any what's shown in this video, then you'll need the Studio version. I bought the Studio version during the v2 to v4 upgrade for a similar price. Never regretted it. Don't use the Studio features often, but when you need them, it's a huge time saver. And Melodyne 5 is now easily my deesser of choice!

Just installed this Melodyn 5 Assistant upgrade, and had an immediate Virus Alert from MS Defender during the install. Win 10 was the Newest Version (Just installed Win 10 update v2004 hours earlier). Machine shut down hard. I grabbed this image just before shutdown. Took some time to get the machine running again. Install appears to be successful. Both standalone and VST3 in Reaper loads with no issues.

Just wanted to give you a heads up. This sounds like complaints we get at times for BIAB updates. I can only imagine (and hope) it was a false alarm due to the ever changing versions of Win 10.
