# Melodrumatic

![Melodrumatic screenshot](Images/Screenshot.png)

## Overview

Melodrumatic is an audio plugin that lets you "pitch-shift" via delay (i.e. the Doppler effect) to turn unpitched audio into melodies. Controllable via MIDI or mouse :)

Demo video: https://youtu.be/KpkDhlis1zw

## Available Formats

VST3, AU, AAX, Unity

## Installation

Download the latest version of Melodrumatic from the [releases](https://github.com/usdivad/Melodrumatic/releases) page, then unzip and place the individual files into the appropriate plugin folders for your respective DAWs (or Unity!)

For Mac, this usually means:

```

VST3  -->  ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

AU    -->  ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

AAX   -->  /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins

Unity -->  [YourProjectName]/Assets/Plugins

```

And for Windows, this usually means:

```

VST3  -->  C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

AU    -->  Not supported :(

AAX   -->  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins

Unity -->  [YourProjectName]\Assets\Plugins

```

For Unity projects, install the plugin (*audioplugin_Melodrumatic.bundle* on Mac, *audioplugin_Melodrumatic.dll* + *audioplugin_Melodrumatic_UnityScript.cs* on Windows) into `[YourProjectName]/Assets/Plugins`.

## Usage

### For DAWs

*(NOTE: The screenshot examples are in Ableton Live, but the steps should be relatively similar for any DAW you use; currently the plugin has been tested with Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, and REAPER)*

**1.** Insert Melodrumatic as an effect on the track whose output you'd like to pitch-shift (this can be either an audio or a MIDI track).

**2.** Create a MIDI track.

**3.** Route the MIDI track's output to the track that Melodrumatic resides on...

![DAW usage step 3a](Images/UsageStep3a.png)

... and specifically to Melodrumatic.

**4.** (optional) If you have an external MIDI controller, assign that as the input to your MIDI track so that you can control Melodrumatic live!

### For Unity

**1.** Insert Melodrumatic as an effect onto the desired Audio Mixer (the plugin will show up as `audioplugin_Melodrumatic`).

![Unity usage step 1](Images/UnityUsageStep1.png)

**2.** (optional) Right-click parameters and select "Expose `parameterName` to script" in order to control Melodrumatic through scripting!

![Unity usage step 2](Images/UnityUsageStep2.png)

*NOTE: Since the Unity plugin normalizes parameter values to a 0-1 range, in order to treat the Delay Time parameter as MIDI notes you'll need to re-scale the values. This can be done by quantizing values to steps of 0.0078125 (i.e. 1/128).*
