i've never tried it, but i bet tristan's shifter~ object should work well on vocals. it says it uses PSOLA to do the pitch shifting, which works well on vocal material. PSOLA doesn't use frequency domain processing, so no twinklies... and it shouldn't have much in terms of weird phasing artifacts either. try it out... does anyone know of other PSOLA objects out there?

ohhh, one thing to note though... is that PSOLA is formant preserving... so, if you want something that sounds like the same voice just producing a lower fundamental, that works, but if you wanted it to sound like some huge dude, then maybe not the best... i dunno...

hi,

I've added a top level ubumenu to a patcher, which contains several bpatchers. As it's the last item I've added, it appears at the bottom of the storagewindow. I actually want this particular ubumenu to be at the top of the list, so that it gets set first. I've been playing around with the priority message to pattrstorage, but what I'm doing doesn't seem to be changing anything.

Is using the priority message the right way to re-order events in the storage window? Or is there something else I should be doing?

thanks

David

yeah i duno about shifter. it gives me weird overtones. should it not?

Sorry, that's incorrect. Items are shown in the pattrstorage window in order of priority (Lower priority # = higher priority: -5 is recalled before 0. 0 is recalled before 5), PER HIERARCHY. So, all of the objects in a patcher will be recalled at once, according to their priority. That patcher will be recalled (according to its order) in the same group as all other objects in ITS parent patcher, and so on. Objects with the same priority will be recalled (and shown) in an indeterminate order. At least that's the theory.

So is it possible to reorder the sequence in which objects are recalled? Or change the priority once it's been created. (Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I haven't gotten the priority help file into my brain yet, despite reading it over and over!)
