Version 4 also brought forth some amazing tools for manipulating the tempo of entire multitracks. It remains one of very few programs that can perform pitch‑correction on polyphonic sources, and the Sound Editor introduced in Melodyne 4 provides a huge palette of resynthesis and processing possibilities. Of course, both packages are adept in both fields, but Melodyne has some unique capabilities.
'Auto-Tuning', by contrast, often suggests the use of pitch processing as a special effect. When producers talk of vocals as having been 'Melodyned', they are usually implying the use of non-invasive pitch‑correction. Since its launch 20 years ago, Celemony's Melodyne has joined Antares' Auto-Tune in that realm of ubiquity where people use its name as a verb. In our exclusive review, we explore version 5's new superpowers.

The long note here is a good example of Melodyne 5's new weighted pitch centre algorithm in action.
