Drawable Pitch enveloppe on audio file as in cubase sx3 & ableton live ????

Hello

In cubase sx and live , you can find pitch enveloppe ( or transpose ) .
Live makes it real time with possibility to draw a pitch curve , SX makes it off line on an audio file.

I am looking for the same kind of tool in Logic . Does it exist ????

So far , the only way i could reproduce this effect ( i like to play long delay with endless feedback and automate the pitch of the feedback , or make a 1 osc riser sound with flat osc sound that i pitch afterwards ) was to insert apple's plugins : Pitchshifter II or apple AUpitch and automate them .
The problem is realtime automation of these plugins cause clips and glitch , and the pitch is going up step by step and not in a linear way . ( you can hear every semitones variated , no transition between tones ) .

So is there a drawable pitch enveloppe option in Logic 8 ?
If yes , where would that be ??
Otherwise is there a better alternative to pitchshifter II & AUpitch ???

I ve been serching in the manual already + i am aware that the Delay Designer fx can do the same work , but it s only working with delayed sounds.

I hope it was clear enough.
Thx in advance.

Once you load the audio into the EXS sampler and assign it to a MIDI note, use either or both envelopes as well as up to three LFO's to modulate pitch of your audio. You can also modulate the various envelopes and LFO's with each other. While you can't draw the envelope, you can get very complex shapes with the various routing possibilities. This is also a way (among many) to do filtering, stutter cuts, looping, anything else you can ordinarily do with a decent sampler.

Of course this is a work around; you'll need to trigger your audio with MIDI, then print it if you would prefer to have it sitting on an audio track. But at least you can do it within L8. Possibly the most direct way to do what I think you're trying to do would involve buying Melodyne.

Is this really more direct than what I suggested?

Also, this 'While you can't draw the envelope' is wrong, as you can automate (draw envelopes for) the EXS24's master pitch in the arrange window with sample accurate precision.

And, why would purchasing another plugin (that honestly doesn't integrate that well) to do what I've already given a rrreeeeeaaaaaally simple solution to be more straight forward?

Erm... sorry, that all sounds a bit aggressive, it must be past my bed time 😉
