Re: OT: Vocal Harmonizer recommendations?

voice live is a good machine for use on stage.
you can compose your own chords for every chromatic note.
it tracks pitches up to d2. it is obviously made for singers.
i can use it only with the lower range of my instrument, the flute.
there is an editing program out there (but i haven't used it for much more 
han saving my presets).
it's got a phantom powered xlr input!
