Hello Marc and Tom!

Just wanted to send a note of ecstatic thanks for all the wonderful plugins.  These rank among my very favorite and most used.

I do have one humble suggestion and request.  

On the DFX Transverb, as it functions now, the possible transpositions of pitch are quantized into the 12 tone equal tempered tuning.  It would seem the smallest possible step for pitch transposition is equal to 100 cents.

Would you consider making the transposition arbitrary, where one would be able to transpose by semitones and cents, so that any possible intervals could be achieved?

This would open two interesting musical possibilities:

1.  Where one is using Transverb to create polyrhythms, one could create any possible by being able to tune the transpositions arbitrarily.

2.  Where one is using Transverb to transpose pitches, *any* possible pitches could be realized, both including microtonal pitches, as well as the familiar 12 tone equal temperament.

As far as polyrhythms go, one is only able to get close to certain ones, with the 100 cents semitones of 12 tone equal temperament as transposition factors.  And as far as pitch goes, there are an infinity of subtle shades of pitch lying in between the 12 tone equal temperament, which remain inaccessable where one is limited only to transpositions from 12.

Just food for thought.  What do you think?  Perhaps it could be switchable?

Anyhow - thanks again for the awesome plugs!
