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.
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
