Mono pitcher (filter with harmonically related resonant peaks) algorithm

with a chorus or flanger

Allocation Units: 

2 (each)

The mono pitcher algorithm applies a filter which has a series of peaks in the frequency response to the input signal. 
The peaks may be adjusted so that their frequencies are all multiples of a selectable frequency, all the way up to 24 
kHz. When applied to a sound with a noise-like spectrum (white noise, with a flat spectrum, or cymbals, with a very 
dense spectrum of many individual components), an output is produced which sounds very pitched, since most of 
its spectral energy ends up concentrated around multiples of a fundamental frequency.

The following graphs show Pt PkSplit going from 0% to 100%, for a Pt Pitch of 1 kHz (approx. C6), and Pt PkShape 
set to 0.
