Musikmesse 2006Celemony / Ueberschall Sound Libraries for Melodyne cre8 / studio (large versions)

Celemony has announced the Melodyne Sound Library for the multi-track versions of Melodyne, cre8 and studio. The sounds are derived from Ueberschall's Liquid Instruments and are being offered specially to Melodyne owners at the end of April. The series begins with Saxophone, Bass and Guitar, with The Voice 1 and 2 and Horn Section to follow in early summer.

The collaboration between Celemony and Ueberschall is entering the second round. First Ueberschall licensed Melodyne technology for the Liquid Instruments; now it's the other way around: the first-class Liquid Instrument sounds are being offered exclusively for Melodyne.

The 'Melodyne Sound Library' licks and phrases were specially conceived for use with Melodyne technology, produced by pros and meticulously optimized. They cover a wide musical bandwidth and are flexible and adaptable as well as offering expressive potential.

Through the unique Melodyne functions, the material adjusts automatically in tempo, key and scale to the arrangement. Or you can modify it in many different ways - from minor changes of intonation to complete restructuring, from gentle quantization to time-stretching of more than 100%. In this way, the phrases can be adapted simply and easily to all possible demands and employed creatively. With Melodyne's Melody Manager, the Library is simple to use - the user can insert entire recordings, parts thereof or merely individual notes into arrangements using Drag 'n' Drop.

To create each library, around thousand of phrases and licks of the highest musical and technical quality have been recorded by renowned studio musicians using the finest equipment. The samples have been recorded without effects or dynamic processing to leave complete freedom for the further editing process.

The first Melodyne Sound Libraries, 'Saxophone', 'Bass' and 'Guitar' will probably be available at the end of April together with Melodyne cre8/studio 3.1 and cost €139 ($159) from music dealers and the Celemony web shop. The libraries 'The Voice 1 and 2' and 'Horn Section' will follow in early summer.
