fixnmix Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 While Melodyne has had this for a while, I find it interesting that Apple is pursuing it. Can they actually patent it? http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/11/13/apple-patent-could-bring-polyphonic-tuning-to-logic-pro A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jope Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've heard someone almost had the usual procedure for boiling eggs patented - just by dextrous wording. The request was declined in the last minute when finally a patent clerk figured out what it was about. This may be a legend, but often patents are a matter of skilful wording, I think.

Eriksimon Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 What I find odd is that this sounds exactly like how DNA (Direct Note Access) by Melodyne works... http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=dna ...have they not patented their method? Or is Apples' so completely different that it merits a separate patent? I'm afraid those online journalists at "Apple "Insider"" have done a sloppy, almost gossiplike job. These questions should've been adressed, and answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 From a quick read, the patent (or at least what's reported about it in the article) describes pitch detection only. There is also mention of being able to derive the chord name from detected notes. And since Logic already includes chord name identification from live-played MIDI, it's likely an easy tie-in to name chords based on notes derived from audio files.

ski Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If Apple's marketing team is worth their salt, when you click on the "How Did I Play" feature, it should pop up a new window that says, "Wow, that sounds amazing! It's time for you to get real about your music and buy Logic Pro. Click YES to purchase now and get a $10 discount, or click NO and be a loser."

Jmando Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I heard a rumor that the Logic X "Barbie Edition" will have Polyester detection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Finally (!) someone's catching on. Indeed it's going to have polyester detection, and no-nonsense "you stay away from my man" bitch correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosUnderground Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Will it be fixed, or can you determine the amount of bitch correction? I also heard it will feature a new instrument, "Ken", the virtual Bieber"! Suck on that Pro Stools! Booya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
