Q: How to set key signature for Audio FX pitch shifter plugin

I have set the project key signature to F# minor and I am using a guitar signal on an audio track and have a bus of the signal to an aux track where I have an apple audio fx plugin "pitch shifter."  So far I only see set semitone adjustments and nothing that pitch shifts the signal in key as set for the project or any particular part of the timeline for the project.  Is there a way to get the pitch shifter or any other audio fx plugin to give me intervals that are related to the key of the moment in any given project? How is it done?  At the moment when I have the pitch shifter set to +3 semitones which = a minor 3rd interval above the played note but it doesn't stay in key when I play a note that needs a Major 3rd above the played input note.

Logic Pro X, macOS Sierra (10.12)

    Not sure what you need the pitch shifter...

     

    You can set the mid thru region parameter "Transpose" in semitones.  So if you are playing live into logic the key of D# and you set the transpose parameter to +3. The recording will be 3 semitones higher than what you played in ( in this case F#)...
