Celemony

Celemony Software GmbH is a German musical software company that specializes in digital audio pitch correction software. Celemony is based in Munich, Germany and was founded in October 2000 by Peter Neubäcker, pharmacologist Prof. Dr. Hildegard Sourgens and Carsten Gehle.
Melodyne
Peter Neubäcker, one of the founders of the company was developing their product, Melodyne, as a research experiment with sound for around 3 years before the company was founded.
Melodyne is primarily a pitch correction tool, used by many record producers around the world to tune and manipulate audio signals, typically vocals. But Melodyne can also be used for time-stretching, rebuilding a melody, or the creation of backing vocals from a lead vocal recording. The public first saw Melodyne at the Winter NAMM Show in 2001 and it has since won various awards.
As of 2008, there are five different editions of Melodyne available:
* Melodyne studio
* Melodyne cre8
* Melodyne plugin
* Melodyne uno
* Melodyne essential
Melodyne Direct Note Access
A technology currently in development by Celemony, Direct Note Access allows users to manipulate individual notes within chords and polyphonic recordings independently. Aside from sonicWORX Pro that has been in beta since July 2009, Celemony claims that Melodyne is the only other commercial end-user program to be able to do so. It was set to be released in Q1 2009, although the software was not released in this timeframe. The first software to include this will be Melodyne Editor (Formerly called Melodyne Plugin 2). On the 17th of September 2009 Celemony released a beta version of Melodyne Editor with Direct Note Access.
