Antares - auto pitch correcting software

This is interesting. Pitch correcting software is used to fix the
tone-deaf boy-band intonation on pop records today. They now support
microtonal scales:

"For most common pitch problems, Auto-Tune 5's Automatic Mode
instantaneously detects the pitch of the input, identifies the closest
pitch in a user-specified scale (including minor, major, chromatic and
26 historical and *microtonal* scales), and corrects the input pitch
to match the scale pitch. A Retune Speed control lets you match the
retune rate to virtually any performance style."

You might need to be careful with their defintion of 'scale' Prent, last time I asked them
you could not roll your own intonations. You can use the whole Partch gamut and choose
various intervals from it and do likewise with other choices (31 tet, 19tet etc), but you
could not make your own scale as we would know it.

Maybe they have changed this? I have asked them to in the past.

Melodyne does the same but lets you choose your own scales (but stupidly limits you to
12 note scales)

Does it support > 12 tones/octave then?
