Chipmunks

I have just acquired a new computer. The soundcard has (I cannot believe my good fortune) a hardcoded filter called "Chipmunk".

As children my brother and sister and I had an ancient Philips tape recorder to play with, and used to delight in speeding things up or slowing them down by as much as three octaves (there were four speed settings, from 15/16 ips to 7 1/2 ips). It is good to see that the children of a digital generation stand a chance of having their imaginations captured by similarly inane pursuits.
