As a Waveform Pro user, you know a good tool when you hear one, and you have one of ours already: Melodyne essential is in your box. Tonalic joins it. And where Melodyne edits what you recorded, Tonalic brings a real performance in.
Tonalic is a new way to produce music. Real session musicians, recorded in studios around the world, played the performances, and the Tonalic Engine reshapes them to your song's chords, tempo and groove. Build expressive arrangements, try variations, and shape your music while the song is still moving. Fast, intuitive and always musical.

Waveform Pro comes with Tonalic essential: a curated collection of acoustic and electric guitars, performed and produced by Uwe Bossert, guitarist of the pop-rock band Reamonn. Studio-grade and made for professional productions, from the first idea to the final mix, and just as much at home in songwriting and quick arrangements. It includes the full Tonalic Engine with chord, tempo and groove adaptation. Your license is perpetual and can be upgraded to the larger edition at any time.

Real musicians playing real instruments, shaped to your chords, tempo and groove. It feels like a session player responding to your track, full of nuance, intention and life. In a real session, the take is finished the moment it is played. Tonalic reshapes the same performance instead, so your arrangement stays open right up to the last minute.

Tonalic sits in Waveform's right-hand panel, alongside the tools you already work with, and previews against your song as it plays. When you're ready, drop a Tonalic onto your timeline, where you place, extend and arrange it like the audio and MIDI clips you already know. Waveform 14 passes your chord track straight through to Tonalic, so the harmony, tempo and feel lock in on their own and you stay in the flow.

Tonalic essential comes bundled with Waveform Pro, and gives you signature guitar performances by Uwe Bossert for your Pop and Rock tracks. It is a full edition with the complete engine, and everything you build with it carries over when you upgrade. Preview Tonalics from the larger edition and move up whenever you want more musicians and more instruments.

Start with the welcome film: it explains what Tonalic essential is and what comes with it. The other tutorials were filmed in other DAWs, so the concepts apply everywhere and only the first step, opening Tonalic from the right-hand panel in Waveform Pro, differs.

Drag a Tonalic into your song and treat it like a clip: extend it, move it, or add transitions and endings from the Set page. It may look like looping, but it isn't: Tonalic reshapes the performance to your chords, bar by bar.

No. Tonalic works from real studio recordings and reshapes them using Celemony's DNA technology. No audio is synthesised. Everything you hear comes from a recording made by the musician credited, reshaped to fit your song. It is not MIDI either: the performances are audio.
Tonalic essential is a full edition, not a demo or a trial. You get the complete Tonalic Engine and a curated collection of acoustic and electric guitars by Uwe Bossert. Bass, drums, percussion and the other musicians live in Tonalic arranger, and note-level editing with the Refine page and the sound controls live in Tonalic studio. Everything you build with essential carries over when you upgrade.
Yes. Waveform Pro passes its chord track straight through to Tonalic, so whatever you set there is what the performance plays. Change the chords three weeks later and the same performance follows.
Tonalic essential is included with Waveform Pro at no extra cost, and the licence is perpetual: it does not expire, and there is no subscription attached to it. You enter the serial number you received from Tracktion and create a free Tonalic account to activate it. The larger editions, Tonalic arranger and Tonalic studio, are available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as prepaid licences through music dealers, whenever you want more musicians and instruments.
An internet connection is needed to search for and download Tonalics and to verify your licence. Once the content is on your disk you can work offline, and the engine does all the reshaping locally, on your own machine.
Tonalic feels like having a musician by your side.
No AI, no loops, no MIDI. Just a musician playing along to every chord, every tempo, every groove. Effortlessly.
The result? Authentic guitar, bass, and drum tracks in your song – with the sound, the emotion, and all the performance magic that happens between the notes.
From Celemony, the creators of Melodyne.
Played by world-class studio musicians.
Driven by your song.
Tonalic – a musician by your side
