Yes, that's it - at least on a very, very basic level. Miller's patch for
guitar is one very advanced beast showing some very cool and cutting edge
synthesis methods. It's not your run-of-the-mill guitar effects processor. In
fact it make me want to be able to play guitar. :)

It does pitch detection inside of Pd to tune the transformations to the pitch
played, so you still get a bit of latency (pitch detection is made on blocks of
1024 samples afaik.)

Maybe you'd want to? Here's the deep link:
