IntelliScore - description my IntelliScore

IntelliScore Ensemble helps you transcribe music by converting multiple-instrument CD audio, WAV, MP3, and WMA files to multi-track MIDI (.mid) files containing the notes played broken down by instrument, chord names, and key. Then you can take those MIDI files and do things that are impossible with audio files such as viewing the notation and changing individual notes and swapping or muting instruments. You can also compose MIDI music in real-time by singing or playing any instrument.

Want to play along to a favorite song but just can't quite differentiate between the guitar and bass parts? Have you ever recorded a great melody for your band or a hot new lick but now can't remember what notes you played or sang? Let intelliScore do the hard work for you. Spend more time making music and less time figuring out the notes.

Features:

Helps you figure out the notes chord names and key present in multiple-instrument MP3, WAV, and WMA files and CDs. Unlike "pitch detectors" intelliScore can convert music that contains more than one note at a time
View and edit scores and individual tracks once your WAV, MP3, WMA, or CD files are converted into MIDI
Sing or play a non-MIDI instrument and see the notes appear in the included Anvil Studio or your own MIDI sequencer
Play your MIDI synthesizer live by singing or playing any musical instrument into a microphone attached to your computer
See the names of the chords and key present in your WAV, MP3, or WMA file
Rip CD music convert it to MIDI (.mid) file then play it in your MIDI keyboard
Effects such as pitch bend vibrato tremolo and portamento are faithfully recreated on instrument tracks that contain one note at a time
Helps remove vocals from most WAV, MP3, WMA, or CD files for karaoke singing
Finds the beats in percussion tracks
Easy to use wizard interface helps achieve the most accurate recognition results in the shortest amount of time
Free technical support

IntelliScore Polyphonic includes all the powerful capabilities of intelliScore Ensemble except that it is limited to working with music that contains one instrument such as a piano solo.

IntelliScore Standard is limited to working with music that contains one instrument at a time and one note at a time, such as a solo voice.

Ableton Live 7

Since 2001, Ableton Live has been helping musicians achieve their dreams, from laying down the initial licks to letting it all loose live. This is the 7th incarnation of the popular sequence software.As with many other aspects of every day life, the art of creating, producing, and performing music has evolved to the point that computers are an integral part of the process. It is not uncommon now to see a laptop on stage during a performance whether you're at a hip-hop, rock, or DJ-oriented show. One of the ways Live 7 is an advantage to its users, especially in the live setting, is it's two main views which allow you to do all your work within a single application. The Session View is essentially a musical scratch pad. You can work out new ideas and improvise in a free and easy environment. Each cell in the Session View grid can hold a recording, MIDI file, or any other musical idea, whether they're recorded on the spot or dragged in from the browser. Then you can play your ideas in any order or any time you wish. The Arrangement View takes a more traditional, timeline-based approach to multitrack recording, MIDI sequencing, and other music production tasks. It will record all your actions as you improvise in the Session View, allowing you to edit them whenever you like. Either view you use is simple and basic enough to make your tasks simple and efficient, which is especially useful during a live performance.Elastic Audio With Ableton Live 7, you can automate the tempo and it will adjust the music, drum loops, multitrack creations - whatever you add - for you. Record it at whatever speed you're comfortable with, and then play it back until you find the pace you're intending to use it at. Apply a variable amount swing or use Live's Warp Marking function to arbitrarily adjust beats within a loop or audio file. This makes it easier to match music to the hit points or key frames if imported video, or fix timing errors, and with the Auto Warping feature, you can drag in an audio file and it will automatically be assimilated to the tempo you're working in. This makes Live 7 a great ally for DJs, soundtrack producers, and every day musicians alike.Uninterrupted Creative Flow The drag-and-drop interface lets you experiment, browsing and previewing audio files at the project tempo, in realtime, so you can record perfectly cut loops, add effects, and mix and match audio without stopping the music. You'll also get full support for your favorite VST and AU effects and instruments. Utilize quantized loop recording to go straight from recording into looped playback by simply hitting a button. To help uncomplicate things when you're working with a large quantity of effects, instruments, and numerous tracks, Live has a Freeze function that keeps things moving while you continue experimenting with your editing and automation. For Studios Live 7 is a wonderful partner in the studio, serving as your main DAW or as an assistant p

Music Markup Language is an XML application.

Example

taken from chorale:

3[E A] [3E B] [3E:8 C]F:8 [3G C]

Discussion of the example

As you can see, main parts of the format are not defined in XML itself, but in a microformat that is embedded in XML. (the XML syntax error is part of the original example)

Also note, that in this example, the notation element is a child of the bar element. Compare this with the DTD where the notation element is allowed only as child of the song element. This is only one of several errors that prevent an implementation of this format.

Celemony Melodyne Uno

Melodyne Uno offers you the celebrated Melodyne technology in the most compact and affordable format. It is a one-track audio editor for monophonic audio files. Melodyne Uno dispenses with the multi-track Arrange window of the larger versions of Melodyne and operates like a normal sample editor: all you do is load in a file, edit it, save your work, and you're done. There couldn't be a simpler or more intuitive way to benefit from Melodyne's unique editing possibilities.Like the larger versions of Melodyne, Uno uses efficient combi tools for all Editor parameters. Moreover, the Correct Pitch and Quantize Time macros are available, too. The Correct Pitch macro allows you to correct the pitch of out-of-tune notes and eliminate ugly pitch drift from a recording with two mouse clicks. The Quantize Time macro offers you just as quick and convenient a way of correcting timing errors - notes that sound too late or too soon or are held too long or not long enough. This makes Melodyne Uno the ideal tool for vocal production, editing melodies and grooves, and for correcting audio recordings.

I don't understand why, but at the time I'm writing this, it's cheaper to buy Melodyne plug-in from Musician's Friend (see below) than directly from Celemony. Compare yourself because it's your money.

Celemony Melodyne Plug-in

Celemony Melodyne Plug-in integrates the most important of Melodyne's functions directly into a host sequencer. Correct pitch and timing, quantize audio, restructure melodies and more - it has never been so easy. Supported interfaces are VST, AU and RTAS.With the ultra-flexible Melodyne plug-in, editing audio becomes fast and easy. Thanks to its musical display, unique time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithms, unmatched sound quality and intuitive operation, Melodyne plug-in makes the resolution of timing and intonation problems child's play, thereby simplifying, and increasing the efficiency of, day-to-day music production in the studio. At the same time, Melodyne plug-in offers fantastic creative possibilities way beyond the scope of conventional audio software.Melodyne plug-in's main area of application is the intuitive correction of the intonation and timing of vocal recordings - a sensitive task it performs supremely well and in the highly musical manner for which Melodyne software is known all over the world. Once you have transferred to Melodyne plug-in the passages you wish to edit, you can edit with great precision the pitch, vibrato, drift, timing, volume, and formants of every note in the recording individually! Intelligent tools that adapt automatically to the current task streamline the workflow, whilst for the two commonest tasks, correcting errors of intonation and timing, Melodyne plug-in provides the Correct Pitch and Quantize Time macros that allow you to optimize an entire recording with a single mouse-click. With Melodyne plug-in you can edit and optimize not only vocals but also single-voice instrumental recordings as well as drum and percussion tracks in an extraordinarily flexible way. With a drum loop, for example, you can alter the position, length, pitch and volume of individual hits, straighten up the timing, make the whole loop swing, or even give it an entirely new rhythm through re-quantization. Melodyne's famous algorithm for single-voice material as well as a new algorithm for percussive material ensure that even when you introduce extreme modifications, the results remain impressively natural and the sound quality is in no way impaired. The programmable scale snap function provides for harmonically correct transposition, and the multi-level Undo function for relaxed editing. Virtual knobs that can be automated in the host and controlled via MIDI offer real-time control of Pitch, Formants, and Volume. NOTE: Crossgrades (from Auto-Tune, Waves Tune, et al.), Loyalty Offers (Melodyne plugin for half the price to existing customers), and even a free Melodyne plug-in for registered users of Melodyne Studio are available.

Celemony Melodyne Cre8 3

Celemony Melodyne Cre8 is a powerful multitrack audio generating, mixing, and editing tool. It includes functions for generating multiple harmony parts from one part; correction of pitch and timing errors; refashioning of monophonic signals; sound processing; and creation of complete arrangements.Melodyne is the perfect tool for pitch shifting and time stretching in convincingly natural sound quality, for correcting the intonation and timing of singing, for audio quantization, producing harmonies, and remixing and restructuring the melody, tempo or timing of existing recordings. With Melodyne you can actually do the impossible - and do it easily.Special upgrade note Celemony's multiple award-winning audio software Melodyne studio and Melodyne cre8 are now available in Version 3.2. Registered users of Version 3 get the update FREE OF CHARGE.Formant tuning with the Polyphonic algorithm in Melodyne studio The playback parameters when you select "Poly/Percussive" now include a new control named "Formant Tuning." With this parameter, it is now possible also for the first time with polyphonic material to control the behavior of the formants independently of the intensity of the pitch alteration. Scroll/Zoom slider The scroll bars now offer an 'overview graphic' for quick orientation within an arrangement or a track. Furthermore, they can now be used not only to scroll but also to zoom.New Percussive 2 algorithm in Melodyne cre8 Melodyne cre8 now uses a considerably improved algorithm for the playback of percussive material. With it, cre8 is able in the case of exclusively percussive, unpitched material to achieve the same high level of sound quality as Melodyne studio.Drop Notes Opening arrangements with missing notes. Until now, it was impossible to open an arrangement if one or more of its constituent audio files could not be found - either because they had been deleted or renamed, or because the hard disk they were stored on was unavailable.Improvements

RAM optimization - The handling of RAM has been optimized. Result, the program is more Stable.

Reduced CPU load Over all

The Activation Assistant - A new Activation Assistant has replaced the old License window. This considerably simplifies the registration and activation of the program itself or of sound libraries you have purchased separately. All you need is your serial number and access to the

Save Audio dialog - A new dialog window warns you if you are about to save under the same name as the original an audio file that you have opened and edited.

Spot-to-Pro-Tools always in Split Stereo format - The export of audio files using the Sport-to-Pro-Tools function only works flawlessly with Split Stereo files. Melodyne now displays a dialog window to warn you about this Pro Tools-imposed limitation.Reliable note recognition The analysis takes account automatically of the type of audio material, obviating the need for further

Celemony Melodyne3 Studio

With version 3, Melodyne is no longer limited to melodies but offers a unique algorithm that can perform high quality time stretching on full chords and complex audio signals; so now harmonic material (such as rhythm guitar or piano parts) - whether homophonic or polyphonic - can be transposed (without altering the tempo), slowed down or sped up (without altering the pitch) and even quantized. What's more, all this can be done in real time with the sound quality for which Melodyne is famous.Very high quality time stretching and pitch shifting - even for polyphonic and complex audio material Whether the material contains block chords (homophony) or parts that are melodically and rhythmically independent (polyphony), Melodyne3 is able to apply pitch shifting, time stretching and quantization to it in real time - and the sound quality is all you would expect from Melodyne. This uniquely flexible way of handling audio material will lead to a whole new style of working in the studio: with Melodyne3, the note-based rearrangement and remixing of songs are child's play, offering producers new creative options when dealing with harmonic tracks. Far more reliable note recognition The analysis now takes account automatically of the type of audio material, obviating the need for further programming. If you are batch processing a set of files of the same type, you can also create and store your own recognition templates. Macros for the correction of intonation and timing errors The macros introduced by Melodyne uno for the swift correction of notes that are out of tune or mistimed as well as for creative requantization are now also available in the multi-track versions.
