Thanks for the tip Doug,
I'll be checking out SpectralMonkeyage right away.

..and thanks for mentioning Chopitch ( www.mathons.com ), but while it's
the highest quality shifter available under certain circumstances
it has a couple of limitations
1) only shifts downwards
2) works best with sounds that have a definite attack
3) not freeware, just very reasonably priced :-)
On the plus side though, it has quite a few "entertaining extras" thrown 
in, like
intelligent gating.

Mathons will be bringing out a pitch shifter plugin that won't have the 
Chopitch 
restrictions, offering real time upwards shifts up to 2 octaves( maybe 
more) 
but we're busy on another project at the moment.
