I was wondering since you guys have had a massive amount of updates and releases just recently if there is now a feature to transpose? In the kontakt player for instance, you can take a sample and 'stretch' it out across the keyboard to take up as many notes as you want. Obviously, within limits as after a certain point things sound more and more unrealistic.....but would this not be an easy way of getting all 4 sheng for instance? (bass, tenor, alto, and soprano).

Hi chee_zee,

It's not possible to do transpose like that in QIN engine. QIN is not really a sampler per se. Unlike most samplers that can work on the level of individual sample, QIN is designed to work with instrument subsets provided by us, hence the limitation.

The only work-around I've found is to bounce a track down and then use a sampler to pitch-shift the audio file - you could make your own Kontakt preset if you wanted to. This works for small changes in pitch/speed. But it wouldn't turn a bass sheng into a treble sheng as the different instruments have very different tonal qualities.
