The Harmonicomputer is an audio processing unit isn't it? In a former
life, I was a Deltalab dealer. We sold quite a number of their audio
delay and echo units. At one point we evaluated a device which purported
to generate "smart" (ie. key and mode sensitive interval calculation)
harmony from a monophonic input. It never worked very well, but I cannot
remember what the model name was.. Sounds right, though.
