Does anyone know how to change the key or change the octave of samples? Is there an easy way to do this is Live, or is there a decent program out there to help me? Thank you!

go to the Ableton manual. then lookup "pitch" device, also "scale", "chord" and "arpeggiator".

he said samples not midi

so in that case:

go to manual.
look up "Transposition"

hint: it's that big knob that's to the left of the waveform in clip view.

excellent, thank you very much that helped immensely. i was also wondering if it was possible to change the pitch of ableton live clips? the transpose knob doesnt seem to be there. thanks again!

I'm trying to figure this out also. I'm trying to move a guitar sample up an octave but when I raise the transpose it still sounds out of key.. thanks in advance for any guidance.
