alternative to EFEKTOR WHAMMO PITCH SHIFTER anyone?

[Niowiad]

Kuassa Whammo easily retired my hardware Whammy DT for the occasional pitch-bend shenanigans.

For real-time static drop-tuning though, unfortunately I still have to keep a Digitech Drop, because it reacts faster than the plugin, when I measured them on my humble setup with my regular settings.
My hardware Digitech Drop adds 12ms of delay, meanwhile the Whammo plugin adds 20ms.
Tested on a maximum of -3 semitones (I don't like it lower than that, neither with the hardware or the plugin, unless it's for layering).

Sound-wise they're not identical, but I really couldn't say one is better than the other, just a little different. Both are fine.

Helix Native

I dont use any eco system (Ik Multimedia, Heliex Native, TH-U etc) I prefer my sims to sit in a channel strip with a chain like my pedal board..is there any single plug able to do it?

Helix native can be used as an effect plugin only! You don't have to use the amps or cabs
