![]() ![]() Please note that the fluctuations in the Pitch Curve must be fairly pronounced for the “Separate Notes as Trills” function to have any effect and that it is only available when the Melodic algorithm is active, being grayed out in every other case. The use of this command allows you, for example, to improve the intonation of a trill, by tuning the notes more closely to their intended pitches, or to rein in an unruly vibrato, by applying the Correct Pitch Macro to its upper and lower extents. This is done by inserting note separations into the slopes of the pitch curve as it rises and falls, thereby turning each ‘hill’ and each ‘valley’ of a vibrato into a separate note. The effect of this is to slice a selection of one or more notes into smaller segments determined by the instantaneous pitch of each note. When the Note Separation Tool is selected, you will find the command “Separate Notes as Trills” in the Note Editor’s context menu. In the context menu: Separate Notes as Trills An exception to this rule is material detected using the Percussive algorithm in this case, all separations are initially hard but can be turned into soft ones. Hard separations, however, can only be turned into soft ones if they were soft to begin with and their type has subsequently been changed.Soft separations can always be turned into hard ones.Please note that it is only with certain separations that the option of switching freely between ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ exists. If you wish, you can define separate keyboard shortcuts for each of the two tools.ĭouble-click on a separation with this tool in order to change its type. If you would prefer to use some other key combination, choose Preferences -> Shortcuts -> Editing Tools -> Note Separation Tools and press the keys of your choice. To select it, press the key (assigned by default to the note separation tools) twice in quick succession. It allows you to toggle between hard and soft separations. The Separation Type Tool is the sub-tool of the Note Separation Tool. Switching between hard and soft separations with the Separation Type Tool Soft separations are indicated by a thin vertical line between notes, whereas hard separations are denoted by a bracket. It also means there are no pitch, formant or amplitude transitions between the two notes. This means that changing the length of the first note has no affect upon the position of the second. In the case of a hard separation, consecutive notes are independent of one another. The connection between notes also plays a role in the pitch, formant and amplitude transitions between notes: such transitions are only possible in the case of connected notes between which a soft separation exists. ![]() This helps you preserve phrasing when editing. Soft separations only occur between consecutive notes and provide a link between the notes: if the end of the first note is moved, the beginning of the second note moves along with it, to ensure that no gap opens between them. You can double-click a note separation to remove it.ĭepending upon the audio material and the algorithm selected, Melodyne places either soft or hard separations between notes. You can move an existing note separation horizontally simply by dragging it with the Note Separation Tool. In such cases, each therefore moves to a new vertical position based on its newly calculated pitch center. (If you wish to assign a different shortcut to this tool, you may do so after choosing Melodyne > Preferences > Shortcuts > Editing Tools from the main menu.)īy double-clicking within a note with the Note Separation Tool, you can introduce a note separation and thereby slice the note in two.ĭon’t be surprised if the resulting pair of notes move apart in pitch this is because as soon as the fission occurs a new tonal center is calculated for each of the newly created notes, and their respective tonal centers may differ from the tonal center the notes shared when they were one. Select the Note Separation Tool from either the toolbox or the context menu of the Note Editor or by pressing the key of your computer keyboard. Inserting, moving and removing note separations ![]()
