Well at first i couldn't tell exactly what was going on, as you can't hear 
the effect without the dry sound. but then I discovered that the sub-oct 
is 
mono, and the dry signal stereo, so fed signal in on left and listened to 
output on right.
So now i can hear just the synth output.

It does seem to be able to pick out the lowest note fairly reliably.
It can be made to woomer on minor thirds and seconds if both notes 
are in the range, but even then, if the low note is loud enough it picks 
it 
out.
Sometimes theres a bit of fuzzyness as the end of the note, especially
at the top end of the range.
It's a synthesised note, not generated from the input signal.

Only one patch at a time, there are the usual combinations of flange& 
reverb 
etc.
but generally you only get one effect at a time.
Get two and glue them together.
