This site may interest subscribers wishing to selectively retune audio tracks.
I saw a very impressive demo at the Mac Expo in London in Dec., and the downloadable demo runs fine on my G4.
I have contacted them suggesting that it would be very useful if the resolution could be improved to better than the nearest cent.
Further requests from other microtonalists might prompt them to action.

Charles,

Have you made any music with it? I posted this link almost
a year ago, and nobody seemed the least bit interested,
even though this software seems like the biggest thing to
hit the microtonal musicican's shelf in a long, long time.

looks interesting: they're just bringing out a windoze version this year, so
maybe it will get more notice. What could this possibly mean though?:

"A change in intonation is possible by an increase or decrease in phrasing
or vibrato."

They're a German company, and I think all the english copy is written by
translation software or somthing! It doesn't read very naturally. I too
would be interested to hear if anyone has tried the demo.

They got huge press at last year's NAMM -- it was the show-stopper,
in fact.

Not sure, but what the software does is allow you to change the
pitch of recorded sounds, without changing their duration or
_timbre_. If you've ever heard singing on tape with the speed of
the tape changed, it doesn't sound right anymore. I'm not sure
why this is, but it probably has to do with the overtone structure.

Here's an e-mail reply I got from them last May:
