I think the nnxt in reason is so good for stuff like this, when youre completely lacking inspiration it's so quick to take a sound and warp/layer it to something else until it sparks an idea.

In Ableton, you can go into the clip envelope view and draw in lovely spikey envelopes for the pitch. Chuck a gradual pitch rise on any sound and voila! you have the makings of a build up FX.
Using the :2 and +2 buttons in the clip view also gives sounds the old school time-stretchey vibe, and using it with the transpose envelope can yeild satisfying results
Also, zoom really far into any audio file in any program that has wave editing functions and try and find atleast one wave that cycles nicely. Turn on the loop function and keep narrowing the loop sliders until you find an interesting sound.
Crop it, export it, and load it into a sampler. Have fun!

cubase (and blatently all the other daws) has a envelope pitch shifter allowing you to gradually pitch a sample down or dramatically pitch it up and down by simply drawing a curve. this can make sounds really interesting and can turn source material into something compltetly unrecognisable i used a random up and down curve to turn that tired klaxon sample into a pad using delay and a few bounces

A dramatic pitch down at the very end of a vocal sample makes for a cool effect too.

i know my way around reason pretty well so you could PM with exactly the problems ur havin i might be able to help, the thing that fucked my head for ages is that neither of the samplers sample anything; they are only sample players.
Also you can only load your own audio into the NNXT. to do this you need to open the unit fully and use the second disk icon to load the audio.
redrum works sick as a sample player aswell

especially when automating the pitch control!
