GRM Tools Classic TDM 1.3.5 is now HD compatible. It is now available
for download from the GRM site. You can also request a CDROM installer by email to: mailto:grmtools@emf.org
You can use theses plug-ins for free for two weeks.
GRM Tools Classic TDM 1.3.5 is said to be (by the developpers themselves) a bundle of eight plug-ins that lets
you move sounds through space, dynamically sculpt the highs and lows
of a sound, freeze sounds in time, change a single voice into a
crowd, create unique reverberation effects, change the attack
characteristics of sounds, transpose in multiple layers, add density
and spectral resonance to your sounds, and much more. The plug-ins
are BandPass, Comb Filters, Delay 24, Doppler, Equalizer, Freezing,
Pitch Accum, and Shuffling.

If you're looking for a new way to torture audio in real time, geometer is the one. Geometer is a visually oriented waveform geometry plugin.
Use it as an insert FX on a mono track, and explore...(you'll hear why they're called destroyFX)
It's free (but you can contribute by a donation) and you can get the plugin and its documentation on the destroyFX server.
