Ooops - I forgot one...
This is a suggestion that (IMHO) could really make the AFX stand out from the competition:
• Pitch-Shifting & Harmonizer algorithms - Add switchable resonant low pass filters for each shifted voice (or maybe one control for all voices). This could finally be the death-knell for those terrible, bogus chipmunk sounds that make it obvious that a machine (not a musician) is creating all those upper harmonies & high octaves. The cool thing is that the filters have much more effect where they are most needed - in the upper registers. The resonance parameter will serve to restore any lost 'point' to the filtered sound if needed. I still default to an ancient smart-shifter because of it's unintentional lack of extended highs on the shifted notes, and it sounds *much* more believable live and in the studio than the typical 'hi-tech' stuff. It also causes the melody (original signal) to stand out better.
