Pitch-shifting a single sampled note without timestretching?

Post by luzil » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:38 am

What do i miss?

I have a sampled note and want to play it in simpler/sampler. Its pitch-shifted by simply playing faster/slower. How can i pitch-shift keeping the duration of the original sampled note.wav?

Like this small sfz vst, just load sample.wav and pitchshift by midi keeping duration

So where is this option in ableton sampler?

thx

Often requested for sure, but there isn't such an option in Ableton Sampler.

weird, thought this is possible because u can alter per TAP the whole tempo of a song without changing pitch, but there is no such algorithm for pitch shifting single 1sec note??? Maybe i misread something about this.

Anyway, are there samplers out there to pitch shift witout time stretching. This sfz vst stretches time too, for one octave its ok, for multi octave u have to use resynthesis samplers like camel audio alchemy? Im no DSP expert, just thought it cant be too tricky set up algorith to do this if it possible to tempo strecth a whole songs...

you can do it by putting your single note into a clip in session view.

put the sample into a clip slot in session view

Go into midi-assign-mode

press the middle-c on your midi-keyboard, and while you have it pressed, press another key more upwards and then another one mor downwards on the keyboard. This will define the range of notes that is assigned on that clip.

go out of midi-assign mode

Now go into the clip view and select qunatize-none

Now you can "play" the clip on your midi-keyboard, within the range that you had defined before.

You might want to experiment with different quantization settings.

Hey does this work with any kind of sample?

Of course (as long as its audio file format is supported by Live).
