• Fade Tool: extensive control of dynamics with note-based fades
• Sibilant Tool: per-note adjustment of volume ratio between pitched and unpitched vocal sounds (de-essing)
• New Melodic algorithm with sibilant detection for natural-sounding results
• New Leveling macro to reduce or eliminate excessive volume disparities between notes
• New Percussive Pitched algorithm for instruments such as tabla, berimbau, or 808 kick drums
• search functions for keyboard shortcuts, saving of shortcut sets

• Psychoacoustically Accurate Pitch Correction: Sometimes an out-of-tune note needs to stay untweaked to preserve the humanity of a performance. Sometimes a note needs to be tuned to sound correct. Melodyne can now better identify and pin down the all important human element while tuning vocal. The software can identify problem areas precisely, and the offset shown in the Note Inspector will be calculated from the pitch of each note at the crucial moment only, rather than its duration. As a result, double-clicking a note value can now yield a musical and correct result. Each individual note is pitched to perfection. Yet everything still sounds natural and alive
• Chord Track and Chord Grid: Melodyne 5 Studio offers a chord track that is linked to the Pitch Grid in the Note Editor. This makes working with chords far more enjoyable, and working with harmonies much more transparent. Because you can see which pitches are compatible with the current chord at any time, you can adapt the notes accordingly with lightning speed. This is helpful when you’re altering chords and if you want to match any sample harmonically to your music
• Robust Pitch Curve: With this new option, you can obtain better sound quality when editing certain signals, such as those with a great deal of reverberation. When it is activated, the monophonic algorithms employ a pitch curve that has been slightly smoothed out
• Improved Complex Algorithm: This algorithm has been improved and can now be used just as flexibly as the Tonal algorithm when it comes to formant preservation and manipulation
• Better Keyboard Shortcut: A new search function for keyboard shortcuts has been added, and the saving of personalized shortcut sets has been improved
• No More .mdd Files: Melodyne’s detection data, which was previously saved to separate .mdd files, is now stored in the audio files themselves, making file directories clearer and the sharing of projects easier

In the case of monophonic audio material (solo voice, saxophone, bass guitar, etc.), and polyphonic audio material (piano, guitar, etc.), the following edits are possible:

• Modifying the pitch
• Modifying the pitch drift
• Modifying the pitch modulation
• Modifying the position
• Modifying the length
• Modifying the attack speed
• Modifying the time course within notes
• Modifying the volume
• Modifying the overtone content of notes
• Modifying the notes of multiple tracks simultanously
• Shifting the formant spectrum
• Modifying the pitch of any transition between notes
• Modifying the volume of any transition between notes
• Shifting the formant spectrum of any transition between notes
• Timing requantization, manually, or via macro
• Quantizating to reference tracks
• Pitch quantization, manually, or via macro
• Cut, copy, and paste

In the case of rhythmic and complex material, separation is according to beats; so if several notes (for example click and snare) sound on the same beat, they are available for editing in the shape of a single Melodyne blob. For such blobs, the following editing possibilities exist:

• Modifying the pitch (relative)
• Modifying the position
• Modifying the length
• Modifying the volume
• Modifying the attack speed
• Modifying the time course within notes
• Shifting the formant spectrum
• Modifying the volume transition between blobs
• Shifting the formant spectrum of transitions between blobs
• Timing quantization, manually, or via macro
• Cut, copy, and paste
