WOW is right. I knew it was a matter of time before we'd be able to manipulate audio as if it were midi, but didn't expect it already... and the changed notes don't have that robot sound, they sound perfect.... amazing.

I think it's only effective on SINGULAR instrument polyphonic material.... Within a mixed audio environment where there are multiple instruments involved it wouldn't be transparent.. it would change the pitch of all instruments playing that particular note..

So if the guitar had a wrong note in its chord and you changed it, the piano chord that was sitting with the guitar in the mix would have ITS correct note changed to a wrong one !! presuming they were in the same octave.
Only usable in a singular instrument mode.. i.e. before mixdown.

Of course it means that provided the steel isn't mixed down i.e. still on a discrete track, you can edit notes within its chords to make harmonies that are totally impossible to play ... who will be first to astound us ?

Of course it will then pose the question every time we listen to a record, did they or didn't they use it ?

Like a certain person on one particular run on the Orange Blossom Special, tracked with tape speed changed.. eventually he owned up to it, but for a long while it was one of those "Oh my God" things..

We COULD be in for a plethora of "How the F**k was that done" A veritable surfeit even.. (Hankeyisms)


Actually it has been on the forum since the 15th b0b.
