Direct Note Access screenshotIt’s official - the BIGGEST gold medal is being awarded to Germany during the Olympics, solely because of Peter Neubäcker, a music software engineer. You might remember Melodyne - a pitch correction patch.

Well, during the downtime in his day job of hogging sunbeds, Neubäcker has created a program called Direct Note Access (What, like DNA?).

DNA can dissect a chord into it’s individual parts so that it can be manipulated and reconstructed into……

Yes - Plug at the back. A different chord.

This is a really handy tool for Producers, musicians who write music on the computer, and for anyone mixing a band that doesn’t know its own songs.

Direct Note Access is due for release in Autumn as part of the Melodyne 2 plug-in. Should be about $400
