Sampler: pitch problems

Post by Ayers Rock » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:26 pm

I've sampled a sansula (thumb-piano).
There's 25 recordings of individual notes - so far so good!

I'd like to pitch it out for the rest of the piano.
What I've done so far:
- Copied the samples to their respective places.
- Set rootkey detune individually for the samples that should be pitched.
- Scale to 100% for the samples that should be pitched, and 0 for the ones that are in perfect pitch.

Can anybody tell me why roothey detune is between -200 and 200? Makes no sense to me, besides 0 is no pitch.

PS: This worked out really well in Logic, but the conversion of the exs-instrument -> sampler was not succesful :(

Scale should be 100% for tuned samples and 0 for untuned (like percussive) samples.

Each note is 100 cents apart, so if you need to detune more than 100 use the next note as root.

All you really need is +/- 50 cents detuning.

A detune of 0 means don't alter the root key's pitch.

You can use detune to adjust the frequency to an exact pitch, or duplicate samples and make a spread about a pitch by altering the detunes for the same key.
