Thanks Kris-very interesting article. There's another basic one here: http://www.xponaut.com/showpage?pid=126 The voicetweaker software essentially does what you are pointing out here. I downloaded it (have yet to buy it) and tried it on a track I knew wasn't in perfect pitch and also used it to transform my voice into a female. It has a setting for "Male to female" and it did surprisingly well in making a female sounding voice. I used it to clean up the pitch as well and it did quite well. A few more tweaks and some verb and it would be very usable. The thing I noticed with this software is that it needs a pitch to start with. If you have some raspiness or some type of crud in your throat it has a tough time fixing/transposing a pitch that is essentially just noise. I could tweak it some more but it was late and after 10 minutes it stops working and I had to restart the program-so I opted for sleep. At $99 it's still not a bad deal. Couple with a $25 program like Clone Ensemble and you might be able to make a pretty cool choir. The project continues...
