Does anyone know if there's a way of playing a sample on a keyboard without the sample starting from the beginning?

I want to preserve the timing of the sample but be able to change the pitch using my keyboard as it continues playing. Is this possible or would it be a crazy drain on resources?

I could do something similar using transposition modulation in the clip's envelope editor but this isn't very playable.

I think this is what it sounds like you're trying to do.... (starting at 9 minutes in...)

ahhhh, that's it! I thought I'd maybe seen it done somewhere!

Thanks!
