I've heard of pitch correction LADSPA plugins for Linux, but nothing for any platform that does what this appears to do. If it works well with real-world recordings, it'll revolutionize the recording process much as Autotune did a decade ago.... for better or possibly worse. Then again, Melodyne has always been a tweakier competitor to Autotune if I remember correctly, so maybe Antares has something like this up their sleeve as well. Also, while Celemony claims "patent pending" on their polyphonic pitch correction, these guys seem to have done it first and might have prior art -- I don't know if they've published their software or if they're maybe even related to Celemony: http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/Dafx2007/ So if someone comes up with some kind of free software that slices a recording up into frequency bands and then does pitch correction individually on each band (I assume that's roughly how this works, but I'm sure someone reading this has a better idea), it might not be a given that Celemony would be able to (successfully) sue.
