I'm looking for a free plug-in that will bring my audio signal up an octave without adding any other fx. Is there such a thing. I'm in dire need but extreme poverty

Oh, and I use Cubase SX.

Have you tried Audacity? It's free and Computer Music magazine sings it praises every month

Try Jackyl and Hyde's Transponator.

Not free, but pretty cheap is Audiodamage's Discord, which sees constant use here.

cheapshift is a good one for free.
madshifta is also free but sound really terrible imo.
these are real time effects....but if u want best quality u're better off pitchshifting in a audio editing package using pitchshifting rendering.

You probably know about this already, but just in case you don't, cubase has quite a few options (including the well regarded MPEX algorithm) for off-line pitch shifting. If you just want to shift something with as few artifacts as possible, it will probably give a better result than any of the plug-ins mentioned here...

Thanks man. I had right on front of me all along. This baby can really work wonders.

For a really good offline DOS utility, check out Jens Johanssen's pvoc.

I use lots of different pitchshifters for different tasks. For realtime that sounds good, Jackle&Hyde's work is excellent. I also use Discord and Spectral Monkeyage for musical/instrument applications, though I wouldn't use them for anything that needed to be pristine. Cheapshift is a great little noisemaker. And I use both Madshifta and Shivashifta in much the same way I would use a ring modulator.

I can't believe I forgot about this. It's by gar the most convenient and reliable way of doing it. Thanks a million

Not free, but not expensive

Thanks for the link. Never heard Transponator. I am sure I will find it very useful.

Very interesting. And some source code to mull over, too. Thanks very much...

p.s. don't always use MPEX - the other algos sometimes produce better results...
