keeping in mind that intelligent pitch shift isn't bright 
enough to work on anything but a pure single note line,
so it wouldn't be suitable for a feedback loop.


yep, I forgot the whole tone and diminished scales 
which are very relevant here...thanks Rainer.

A full catalogue of similarly suitable scales would be found under
the heading:-
"Messian's modes of limited transposition."
