Re: Lower octave Micro Pog

[van Sinn <vansinn@post.cybercity.dk>]

Hehe, yup, that's always the problem with pitch transposing, the need to 
sample long enough to have enough information to be able to decently 
create the new pitch.

I've never heard anything sounding sufficienty close to the real, and 
will bet the best option will be to accept this, and use whatever pitch 
transposer is found reasonably suitable for deliberately creating a 
somewhat artificial effect.

I think the Eventide PitchFactor comes fairly close to a nicely useful 
downtuning, plus it'll provide many other useful effects.  It's a pedal 
too, and with MIDI to go,so..
