Samplers with pitch shifting?

Wondering which sampler plugins out there offer pitch shifting (as opposed to just playing the sample faster/slower for a change in pitch)?

Maybe using the wrong terms but only found waves cr-8 and kontakt so far.

thanks.

You mean granular? Kontakt does it. Other methods?

Serato Sample

Really nice sounding pitch shifting/time stretching algorithm.

i guess pitch shifting is granular technically?

If I use CR-8 as an example; I can load a piano note and set the mode to Harmonic, then when i play it, the notes durations are the same wherever i play it, low notes same length as high ones, it's been pitch shifted.

Or I can select Classic and it simply plays the notes faster or slower, a note an octave up will play in half the time, an octave down will take twice as long.

Looking for samplers that do that.

Cheers.

There are always the native samplers in live and bitwig, pretty sure they can do that. Bitwig can, I checked.

If you need really high quality pitch-shifting and time-stretching, you may want to look at Audiomodern's newest version of Soundbox. I was disappointed with the initial release, and haven't been using it very much. But the recent v1.1.0 update adds Zynaptiq's ZTX Pro algorithm to the plug-in.

Now there's two pitch-shifting algorithms to choose from. The original is called LEGACY and the new one is called REPITCH. Even if Soundbox isn't right for you, it's worth looking into to find out. I hope you find something that fits your needs. Here's a link with information about their ZTX Pro DSP: https://www.zynaptiq.com/ztx/ztx-featur ... fications/

HALION can do that in realtime

TX16Wx can do it.
