Hello,
 
I would like to pitch shift without changing notes a vocal but cannot find a single plugin packed in sonar platinum for this, could someone tell me if sonar has one please?
 
Thanks,
 
Ben

Melodyne 4 for audio. PRV for midi.

Thank you for the reply, but with Melodyne I have found that the note is affected when trying to move a male voice to a higher pitch, unless there is something I have missed in Melodyne?

Timbre will always be affected by pitch shifting unless there is formant correction. That feature is not available in Melodyne Essential, but is in higher versions. You can also try using the Transpose function for audio, but that does not have formant correction either.

Oh I see, this is sad :-( Thank you for the help.

It shouldn't be too obvious for small changes. What are you trying to do?

EDIT: Also, just to save you some time, Melodyne is pretty much the industry standard for vocal pitch editing (I guess together with AutoTune which was birthed from a different angle). While the version that comes with Sonar is basic, you won't find any plugin or software that does what you asked for significantly better.

In the past there was a cakewalk vst in my sonar x3, upon upgrading to platinum, this vst has been removed but I was using this super simple vst called pitch shifter to make male voices sound as female(for electronic music), it was fantastic and so simple, 1 knob. Melodyne is, unfortunately, wayyyy too expensive.

It is not clear which X3 plug-in you are writing about. The Cakewalk Pitch Shifter is a DX plug-in and was discontinued with X2. It looked like this:

This is the only Cakewalk Pitch Shifter I know about. It is possible to get this back by running the advanced install of SONAR X2 or older. Make sure to install the 64bit version if running 64bit SONAR.

This was available in Sonar 5 through X2, but not in X3.  Roland V-Vocal.  Any chance you were using this?

If he's referring to V-Vocal, you can still use it in Platinum. 
 
Upon re-reading the OP I'm not sure what exactly is desired by "pitch shifting without changing notes"...by definition, a shift in pitch will change the note. Maybe he means a change in timbre. The Melodyne version that ships with SONAR will do that because it won't compensate for timbral changes.
 
Then again for my last song where I needed a female vocal, I had a female sing the vocal. Sounded just like a female singing a vocal .
