So, you can pitch shift a piece of audio the same way a sampler does, i.e.

1) Speed up and slow down

2) Pitch Shifter Effect. You know what I mean

and then there's
3) The kind which is like Apple Loops, Not time stretched but....

What's it called?

transient-based, or perhaps more specific, slice-based

but its "time stretching" not pitch shifting...

What about shifting the bins of the FFT of the signal?
Oh wait, that'd just be frequency shifting without a lot more math, wouldn't it?

Thanks. Slice based sounds right, That's the one where you change the pitch but not the length of the note,
I'm designing a plugin (on paper, I'm no programmer) and needed to know the different types,

Thanks

and what's about pitching only the formants?

What do you mean about pitch shifting only the formant?

Oh, I asked this question on SOS as well and they suggested it could be called Granular Pitch Shifting.
