option preserves formants if pitches are changed. These are characteristic
basic frequencies of the voice that are independent of the pitch that is sung.
In other words, the characteristic discoloration of pitch ("Mickey Mouse")
effect does not occur in this case. The formants, however, can be shifted by
+/- 12 half tones. This achieves suitable vocal distortions. Beat markers are
not evaluated.
 Resampling: Pitch shift and tempo cannot be changed individually. This
method requires considerably less CPU time. If the pitch is increased or the
sample is shortened, then resampling is almost completely free of loss, and
the sample material will suffer almost no damage. In other cases, resampling
causes loss of overtones. For example, if the length of a 44.1 kHz sample is
doubled, then the freqency level of the result will be limited to 11.025 kHz.
The sound is the same as when the playback speed of a record player or
tape recorder is changed.
Chorus (Plug-In)
Chorus creates a "floating" sound typically associated with guitars and synth
pads. It can acoustically "thicken" an instrument, making it sound fuller or
creating the illusion that several instruments are playing.
Speed: Modulation speed. Low speeds create an even, continuous
development. High speeds produce vibrato-like qualities but can also result in
an ‘under-water’ effect.
Depth: Modulation depth. This determines how strongly the speed affects the
pitch modulation.
Mix: This sets the balance between the direct signal and the effects signal.
Mode:
 "Normal" is a combination of the direct signal and the detuned delay signal.
