Real time pitch shifting works as described.

Regarding all the special fx you've heard in the demo, yes, you can practically combine pitch shifters with any other fx; the platform is open and algorithms can be created in Vsigfile editor. Pitch shifters can use several seconds of delay time or embedded in any feedback loop w/delays, mod fx, multiplex arrays, reverbs. You can create things not available in any other fx processor and use the hundreds algorithms (close to 2000 actually) that already have complex networks of fx creating pads, drones and the likes.
