Hi all,
This past week I attending a concert of an acappella vocal group that
would using a DBX-120A sub-harmonic synthesizer to double the bass
singer's voice. It sounded amazing, and a little Googling has
revealed that this rackmount unit is quite popular. Is there anything
in the Linux world that does the same thing? I am not a programmer,
so it would need to be somewhat easy-to-use (trying to fend off the
"just make one in puredata!!!" comments here :), lv2 would be awesome
too.
Thanks,
Josh

You don't have to be a programmer to make one in puredata :-P

Is this different than a pitch shifter? Or does it actually
synthesize some waveform based on the frequency of the incoming
signal?

I don't know of anything on Linux which does that, or could be made to do that. Maybe
somebody does though (*cough cough* Fons? *cough cough cough*).

Please state the nature of the medical emergency :-)
I could easily add an option in zita-at1 to make it transpose
down by an octave... If that would produce something interesting
is another question... Synthesizing a suboctave would take a bit
more work, but I'll keep it in mind.

Dave Robillard has ported the mda plugs to LV2, so maybe the mda SubSynth
plugin?
Here's the help page for the vst version:
http://mda.smartelectronix.com/vst/help/subsynth.htm
To get the plugin I think you'll have to build from Dave's source tree,
though debs may be in the kxstudio ppas if you are on ubuntu. There are also
PKGBUILDs for Arch in Archaudio.
Whether it works or not is another question...
