Absolute Pitch Tuner?

Hi does anyone know of an effect that would take a sound and tune it to a specific pitch (ideally, a MIDI note)? Maybe similar to a vocoder but more extreme, so one could input, say, some white noise, run it through the pedal, and have the output be tuned to a specific pitch. The closest thing I found was the EHX V256, but it really sucks. It would be so cool to play random sounds but play them in key via MIDI keyboard.

That's just a narrow band-pass filter.

The closest toy in-stock at Banjo Mall is a WAH pedal. However the filter width is so wide that it won't be a strong "pitch", but a hiss focused around a several-note zone. And it is all ankle-precision, not MIDI fingering.

Gosh, don't "all" synthesizers have narrow filtered noise? That was a staple of 1970s Moog/ARP synth sounds. As heard on Group: XEX.

Sampler? I know next-to-nothing about the keyboard world but isn't that one thing that a sampler is for?
