Funny coincidence. About a week ago I was telling someone that people sometimes give autotune as an example of a qualitatively new musical/aural device, even though Godley & Creme basically did it 30+ years ago. (Which doesn’t contradict what you’re saying; just because it was possible to mimic autotune in 1979 doesn’t mean it was trivial, accessible, or doable in real time. Although autotune isn’t new, being able to autotune on an industrial scale presumably is, ’cause of Moore’s law.)
