Bill Jackson [Cakewalk]
From the Portal Demo Song blog, where this trick was used:
 
Bill Jackson – Cakewalk: “So, it’s a pretty simple trick in Melodyne.  Jimmy sent me the raw vocal track as a .wav.   I opened that file in Melodyne Editor and typed CTRL+A to select all.  I grabbed the “Pitch Modulation Tool,” which is primarily used to manipulate vibrato.  I double-clicked the selection to eliminate all vibrato, creating flat lines.  This resulted in sudden robot voice.  Then, I carefully listened through and adjusted especially unnatural sounding words and phrases by selecting them explicitly and using the pitch modulation tool to click and drag up, introducing a subtle amount of vibrato back in.”

You have to have the full "Editor" version to do this?

No, you shouldn't.

I'm obviously a noob at Melodyne, but the only things I seem to be able to do with Essential is move notes up and down and back and forth. Where's the "Pitch Modulation Tool"?
