Freesound Forums

Hi,new guy here.This seems like a very intelligent forum,with poeple knowing what they're talking about.Very rare.. anyway..

I have a question,is there any program/VST that can take a sample.. say a sax sample.. and allow the user to play it in any OCTAVE FREELY using a midi keyboard of some sort?? Or am I missing a technique? I'm using FL STUDIO XXL to try and accomplish this by the way.. but man, this has been bugging me for a while. :cry:

Just thought I'd drop by.

i can only think one bit of software/vst that allows you to do this - Kontakt. its a software sampler. in fact, come to think of it you only need to find a program that can trigger audio through midi. Assign it to say C3 and then get FL to play C4...

My feeling is you would need to start with a range of Sax samples spread over its pitch range.

Using a single pitch sample and trying to stretch or compress it by more than say half an octave, will start to sound un-natural.

And how do you do those exactly? lol

Isn't this something that any old tracker can do?

Yes I think most trackers can do that, and soundfont creating programs too. Once again, I'd say that the sampler inside ableton live is really great for this kind of work, except it probably won't work with other hosts than live.

you do know that in the FL editor you can simply paint in pattern you want and then move it up and down an octave.

did you ask this quesiton in any of FL'S forums?
