Hi, thanks a lot for the reply

I cant get my head around that, would you mind giving some more detail?

Thinking of getting an APC40....can it do this....?

Constant pitch in Sampler

Hi
In Sampler, is it possible to have a sample span say an octave, but have it so that the samples pitch doesnt change over that octave.

I understand about setting the root key, but is ther a way to fix that sample to the root key no mater what note triggers it?

Thanks
