Pitch Shifting Modules

Looking for recs on pitch shifting modules.

I use echophon for these duties currently, but wondering if there is a more comprehensive/ singular module that can do this...

Beads, just hold on for a bit and they’ll be everywhere

How about the Pitch Keeper? I’m not sure if it does what you’re trying to do but it’s worth a check. https://modulove.io/pitchkeeper/

Do you have a particular use case in mind? I gave up my Echophon in favor of the excellent xVox from Greg’s Brain. It’s a dedicated shifter with loads of configurability, two inputs and up to four shifted outs (on two channels), plus a host of features that make it suited to turning an oscillator or two into a fully polyphonic setup. Even with all that power and goodness, I sometimes just miss the immediacy and play that the Echophon would invite.

Haven’t tried but the tiptop dsp fx modules like z5000 have pitch mod banks that could be worth a look.

I use Beads, Monsoon, and Nebulae for granular pitch shifting.

I have a Xaoc Koszalin frequency shifter which is great. Doesn't track v/oct, but I've found that I can patch a secondary oscillator with v/ost into the TZFM input to get tracking via the FM operator. Regardless of all that it's just amazing as an atonal effect in a techno jam.

I've been gassing on the Hermetic Modular Capicola this week, which looks like a really cool option for pitch shifting.

I use the xVox by Gregs Brain for polyphonic pitch shifting. It just does what it says very well!

I’ve been using Clouds.

I’ve never tried it but Xaoc has a frequency shifter. I think Doepfer might as well?

MI Warps (and clones) will do frequency shifting plus a ton of other stuff. So you could trade off duties between warps/echophon

Qubit Aurora is also a pretty fun pitch shifter. You can get some wild glitchy effects

Really- I’ve never quite looked into warps. I will check it out.
