Hello JARA no doubt about the choice, Eventide or(and) Kyma!!! I would consider Orville for its double dsp power, 8ins/8outs and quad audio modules, like mixers, etc. PITCH SHIFTING: NO WAY!!! Eventide has the best! Don't even consider Digitech toys:once you'll hear it everything will sound different for your ears. New software V2.705 allows Orville to have 24 voices of chromatic, diatonic or reverse shifting, with 2 seconds delay each!!! Building a patch matrix with delays users can add even more delay to them!!! Sound quality is PRISTINE CLEAR ! ! ! No HopE elsewhere. Kyma is a monster workstation!!! Great at any kind of Synthesis and sampling...love its granular synthesis!!! If you need hi quality verbs it could be a long thing to do though and I'm not sure if you can get the same Orville's quality. But still we're talking GREAT systems! If you work at home Kyma can be a pleasure...I wouldn't dare to go LIVE with it! Orville gives you more REAL TIME approach to everything. With Kyma it seems you have to plan things more ahead of time. Still Kyma can do things that Orville DOESN'T KNOW at all! Choice depends on your working way and feeling for the 2 different systems. I wish I had both! If I had them, still I would go live ONLY with Orville. You can do extensive vocals and gtr processing at the same time with it, no problem! You can even superimpose aspects of one audio source on the other, interactive processing...Kyma does that too and much more. I don't know about preamps! I love what you can do with Orville and I'd like to know more about it from Kyma users! Lucky you didn't get a DSP4000! It's a great unit! I worked with it for 5 years but today it just won't fit more extended and experimental uses & abuses. The gtr sound you heard in my mp3 is a crunchy preamp into a pitch shifter with an lfo controlling pitch vibrato, switched by a footcontroller...gtr is played wit E-bow. All in 1 dsp Orville, working at about 35% of its total power!!! Huge room for more activity. ciao Italo >From: "maugli" <maugli@intermess.com> >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> >Subject: argh... my head hurts... >Date: Mon, 25 Dec 2000 19:03:51 -0700 > >Howdy Italo and all, > >yeah, I've read all the posts at loopers-delight.com, and then some... >Pitch >shifting is VERY important to me, but for voice pitch shifting I'm >thinking >of using Digitech's Vocalist Workstation EX, for two simple reasons: 1.
