Routine mind-blowing stuff from Zynaptiq - not perhaps of primary use for us, but if nothing else could a) be an interesting Melodyne alternative, and b) be a great toy.
I use this far more frequently than I expected to, and while it remains - for me - primarily a sound design tool, it is also a pretty outstanding utility. At this price everyone should own it.

Ehm ... what would it be good for, as an example? I may ask, thanks.

what would it be good for you ask?
Lots of things, but for the most part I use it in two or three applications:
First, it can fix minor pitch (and timing) errors. Actually, it can fix pretty big pitch errors, but I seldom run into them<G>!
Second, you can use it to re-harmonize (or change a melody), which is cooler than it sounds. Play a piece, then go in and try a minor 6 instead of a major 7. Not sure I'd use the results as a finished track, but it is a fun way to experiment.
Last, it is an amazing sound design tool - I can't believe all the cool sounds I can create!
It is similar to Celemony Melodyne, the biggest difference is how one makes changes. Melodyne presents a very nice graphical representation which I think is probably a tad easier to use. But Pitch Map lets you make changes in real time, which is pretty darned amazing when you think about it.
At full price it is a remarkable tool, at this price it is a steal!
