VST's for Samples? + Vocal Manipulation

[KeeveBC]

Been hunting the forums for a free VST I read about in work a couple weeks ago for an autotuned style of changing the pitch of a sample. What I was looking for turned out to be KeroVee, which is Windows only, which is a bastard as its exactly what I want to do with this vocal sample I have.
Just wondering if there are any similar (preferably free) VST's available for OSX for doing this?

Also anyone know of any good tutorials or tips for cutting up and changing the pitch etc of vocals? Been looking for quite a bit but can never seem to find anything of use for me and its the one part of production I really struggle with to get sounding good.
Thanks

KeeveBC, can you post a reference track of the effect you're looking for?

Also not sure if this is what you're talking about, but we at Dubspot posted a tutorial video a few weeks ago about the talking wobble effect...

Not what I meant at all, More like onwards from 2:30 on this. Been trying to transpose and pitch up/down in Ableton today but can't get it sounding any good.

From what I've read, Melodyne is the bee's knees. The SOS review was very positive.

i wanna know what jamie xx uses, unless he just keeps using the same persons samples, possibly florence and the machines, but when he pitches them up it doesnt sound really chipmunky, and always has the similar quality, well not always, but like in the florence remix, and 'NY is killing me'

zplane elastique has independent formant control so you can choose the amount of chipmunking separately to the pitch...
it's the code that most daws use for their ptichshifting/ timestretching but its pretty pricey
