try contacting Melodyne directly Celemony | Overview
When using melodyne in standalone the 3 nobs in the right top corner wont appear, they will appear when using melodyne in your DAW as a plugin. As for everything else that you pointed out in the screen shot, im not sure.
I think I know why. Im using the Editor version. Your using the studio version. The tutorial videos were probably using the editor version of melodyn. The studio version is different from all the other verrsions because it allows you to use an unlimited number of melodyne tracks.I've also tried it as a vst plugin but it don't look glassy as i see in almost all melodyne tutorial videos
here's a pic when I use it as a vst. View attachment 42559
Edit: this is the latest Melodyne Version
