Can I Do This?

[5Lives]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a sampler program that allows me to give it a single wav file and automatically assigns the sound to various different keys with the appropriate pitch-shifting? Also, do samplers include some of the features found on synthesizers - like LFOs, effects, arpeggiators, etc.? If so, is it just more useful to use the sampler program since you could potentially just get a wav file if you need the simple waveforms?

Thanks,
Chinmay

Any more elaboration? What sampler program would you recommend that allows me to do this?

all samplers will pitch the sound right across the keyboard, pretty much automatically.

Kontakt2 is the only sampler i know with arpegiators etc.

if you never used a sampler , perhaps you could get some experience with the free version of this :

it's limited to two voices , iirc ...

you really need to consider multi-samples though , if you want a good representation of pitch across the keyboard ...
