First, I hope all o'yez are good and well. I recently received magnanimous volumes of advice on Win 10 sound routing and what a life-changing solution As I'm trying to consolidate the MESS of one-shots and loops I have hoarded, I am finding a bigger mess in terms of the types of loops......sometimes knowing how to word a search term is the biggest challenge.

I'm going to begin with a typical example in a popular drum/percussion library....... "Doru Malaia" is a huge, widely known library of one-shots. In essentially all categories as you preview each drum/percussion sample it ascends in pitch. Is the actual problem the root key and if so, how would you prevent the loop from playing faster and faster as you play higher keys?

This came up as I was toying with Nexus 5, when I wished to create WAV layers such that anything below a certain pitch plays a drum track with no differences in pitch and tempo.

Thanks very much for consideration of this hair-yankin' fustercluck Y'all are rocket surgeons, and really, even a recommendation for a website that deals with such tech stuff would be cool too.

 

izotope Iris with "Radius RT" mode. its a algo that doesnt change the pitch.

Same with serato sample in polyphonic mode.

Ableton sampler does a good job too if thats your daw

The cool thing is they both detect the key of the sample you load in in real time.

 

Noted all with gratitude. I should have mentioned current software...... Cubase 10.5 Pro (very much favorite), Sound Forge 15, Kontakt 8.6.
I've been quite curious about Serato...... thanks for that idea. My best guess is that Serato Sample assures you can chain multiple tunes to one transposed key.....(?) and also beat-match in terms of tempo?
A lot of stuff one can do with a sample has choices like "time-stretch". Cubase imports audio and lets you switch its timebase, very often fitting to tempo with negligible effect on quality.
thanks much, more to explore.

 

I think serato sample might be your best bet for what youre looking for. Ableton does all of this natively but you gotta learn a new daw.

Are you browsing samples? playing single note one shots? or full loops? If you want all your samples in key and in time with your daw then you should get loopcloud. Its pretty amazing!

 

Classic mode on your sampler does pitch + speed change when you play different notes.
Loop mode just repeats. you can time stretch/compress it to fit bars. "time stretching" is independent of pitch.
One-shot just plays the whole thing once, no looping. Pitch still changes unless you set key tracking to off.
