Melodyne purely works off of what it calls a "blob," which is the most energetic aspect of the spectrum frequencies. For a technology that was invented nine years ago it was ahead of its time.

One of the issues was in polyphonic mode it would pick up sporadic notes based on harmonics and noise.

New modern techniques for Audio to MIDI conversion are using machine learning.
It has been taught on particular instruments such as drums, guitars, pianos, etc.

So in general it does drums really well even including mapping to general midi drums.
Bass well, its OK with guitars and piano

Melodic single-voice instruments do well.

In many cases, you will still need to edit the MIDI to simplify it.
