That's cheating...

This is basic, rudimentary, audio editing that should be standard equipment in any audio editor. It's a shame few companies have figured that out.

I found a free phone app for pitch and speed that sounds as good or better than any cpu driven utility including $$Melodyne$$!

Still looking for a formanting app.

Meldaproduction MTransformer will do pitch shifting with Formant adjustment.  However, it's not free.  Meldaproduction is currently including this particular one on their 50% off sales.  You can also try it for 30 days to see if it works for you.

I think the OP wants to shift formant without pitch, upon rereading the conversation. He wants a male voice to sound like a female one without changing notes.

I don't think this ever sounds very realistic, but the more expensive Melodyne versions do allow you to edit formants.

Maybe this can help:

+1 to this. I got the Melda Creative Bundle recently (50% off) and I am very happy with it. 

Thanks you all.
 
I did not think this thread would get so many replies!
 
I will reply one by one to your questions.
 
Yes I meant "Format Pitch" which means changing the timbre of the voice and not the pitch.
 
+1 for the idea about reinstalling sonar x2 to get this magic plugin back, great idea!
 
Regarding V-Vocal, it looks like they removed it in platinum!!! why this? It was a great piece of kit and fantastic format shift possibilities too.
Would reinstalling x2 or x3 brings v-vocal back in platinum?
 
Thanks all!

Hmmm...they probably have that covered as it was licensed through Roland at the time.
 

Try this:

To get V-vocal back run the X2 advanced install and select minimal installation from the component list drop down. It is also possible to select other plug-ins while running the minimal install.
