... Yes, I agree. I used to work a lot with "chorus" type sounds, not the popular effect but the way a actual chorus (of people) works; I'd use a few paralel tone generators to build up a single sound. At the start of a not they'd play at the set pitch + some random offset and over the cource of the note the scaling of that offset would decrease, leading to a single pitch, like singers tuning to eachother.
Cool, I would love to have a guitar-pedal-style effect that worked that way. I was thinking of using my implementation of PSO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_swarm_optimization but I suppose any non-linear optimization technique to bring the "chorusers" together would sound cool. Not sure how to do the realtime pitch-shifting though. michael
