[Sam L4]

That is absolutely ace.

[WoodyRATM]

That is really cool.

[Me and Parvati]

Got to say that is astonishing, but I think I'd get lost in fiddling with things to the point I'd starve to death before I noticed.....

Nonetheless, fearsome software.

Cheers, Stripey, very interesting.

that minor to major to spanish to exotic scale thing is impressive.

Yeah their existing plugin which has been out a while is really good at autotuning, or for just generally quite transparent adjustments of pitch and timing for vocals and monophonic pieces.

I would take the promo video with a pinch of salt really because they've been able to choose source material which will give the best results etc, it will be interesting to see how it works in real situations on instruments of various tiimbres when it comes out later this year.

I did have my doubts about that. I can maybe see it working with such clearly defined and 'separable' tones, but surely there's going to be a load of sounds that will be blended too closely and will just never sound natural at all.
Maybe I'm too much of a hippy, but I still think it makes a difference if you're actually hearing someone play something, rather than a computer recreating a conglomerate version of a sound created by someone playing something. It's like the difference between looking at a Rembrandt canvas and looking at an arrangement of pixels taken from a Rembrandt...
