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