07th March '08 update:
New plug-in coming soon!
The 'Crowd Chamber' (working title) plug-in is a voice multiplier.
It alters and modulates the spectral content and the velocity of a sound to make a slightly different one, and then layers this back at a desired stereo position. Forty voices have been tested, and they sound like a choir while being cheap on CPU. Chaining the effect into other instances we've had 40*40*40*40 voices running, which sounded like a crazy muddle - but then 2.5 million people would! The plug-in can of course be used very musically, with lush chorus and subtle fattening. The many possibilties of this are currently being studied.
'Crowd Chamber' is expected due in April.
