Certainly 'Believe' isn't forgotten - I actually heard it yesterday on radio3
(which is the 'culture' channel here). But it doesn't need the effect and would
be as fine without it.

What will be forgotton are the imitations which have little to offer apart from
the effect. 


I don't know what is exactly inside the Antares, but it's said to be a phase
vocoder, which at1 certainly isn't. OTOH, the output produced by at1 would
be similar to a phase vocoder tracking the phase of a signal at the estimated
input frequency.
