i have the alesis bitrman that stg mentioned and it does say it's a
frequency shifter. i'm not sure if this is true though. My comparison
on the alesis bitrman's frequency shifting effect to that of the boss
ps-5 super shifter's pitch shifting effect shows that the boss unit
has a much higher level of articulation when it comes to speech. I had
assumed that this was due to alesis trying to stuff all of those
functions into one box making it slightly lower quality.. but perhaps
they ARE indeed 2 different effects. both of these digital units
produce aliasing effects when the signal has a large amount of
harmonic content. i was hoping to find an analog solution.. but i'm
sure the eventide and the TC unit are of a much higher quality than
i'm accustomed to. thanks to everyone putting their 2-cents in on this
subject. it's the best way to learn i think.
