harmonizers
Musical pitch doublers
Harmonizers are people or things that bring elements into agreement or accord.
In music, a harmonizer adds complementary notes to a melody—either a singer providing harmony vocals or an electronic device that generates additional pitches from an input signal: The guitarist ran her voice through a harmonizer for that layered effect.
More broadly, harmonizers reconcile differences or create unity among disparate parts.
