I would like to make something that will change the pitch of a musical instrument, voice, etc (realtime). It would have to shift multiple pitches (while keeping everything in key), and it should cover the whole 20Hz - 20KHz spectrum (if possible). It should also have variable pitch shift. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks, -Joe

Check out an issue of "Electronic Musician" or similar magazine, or your local, large, electronic musical instrument retailer. Look for adds for or inquire about effects processors. Digital Signal Processors have hit the commercial musical instrument processing industry in a big way. There are numerous widely-available units which can do pitch shifting in addition to other common musical instrument processing effects like digital echo, reverb, distortion, overdrive, etc. Most can be operated under computer control using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface).
