I'm still pretty newb with ableton. I tried to use the search but couldnt fint it. How do you change the tempo of the sample without changing the pitch. kind of like time stretching.

There is no native time stretch in the sampler or simpler instruments... crazy huh!
You can stretch of course in clips, which occurs automatically with tempo or you can change the clip tempo. The Impulse drum also has crude stretching....

Lately I've been using Garyboozy's VeloStretch Racks, which are pretty impressive as a work-around for Live's lack of stretch in the samplers. It's probably about 3 pages back by now... just run a search for velostretch.
