yup, I was just being hasty at work and didn't realize when I hit the reply button that it was just going back to the sender and not the list.

You probably get more posts sent to you personally than to the list because this list, unlike the vast majority of mailing lists, is set up so that replies go to the person who posted the original message rather than to the list itself. Hence if someone isn't paying attention when they reply to a post, it doesn't go to the list. I've never understood why this list is set up this way, but it's been set up this way for a number of years.
 
The most annoying part is that sometimes it's hard to tell whether replies were meant to be personal (i.e. for me only) or for the list.

It seems I get more posts to me personally than to the list. I'm not sure
if that's intensional, but I might as well answer them on the list so I
don't get more of the same questions.

Software for now, could be digital hardware later. Not really possible to
do a resynthesizer with analog, although I did come up with a possible way
that might work on the Nord Modular (not like this one though).

to it to get that effect? Perhaps a linear frequency shift rather than a
true pitch shift? It sounds like the vocal harmonics ended up out of sync.<<

In that one, I locked the pitch of the oscillators to certain intervals so
that audio coming in at certain frequencies got pushed up or down (or
remapped, or quantized) to the closest frequencies on the output, resulting
in different notes and/or harmonics from the input audio. I could easily do
linear frequency shifting too, although that would sound different and
probably sound a bit too messed up.
