K, thx for feedback guys. I have to play with audio clips a bit and see if I can get the efect im looking for. I wondrr if NI Kontakt would help this along...I hear its way better than sampler anyway...but also costs more too...

+10, at least!

Then, cut the audio you want to timestretch. For each place you want to stretch up or down, make it's own separate clip and adjust the transpose (of that specific clip) up or down.

Someone already mentioned a much quicker workaround:
-Drag sample into audio channel
-Warp
-Drag into sampler

I may have not described my technique well. I am referring to say sampling a guitar strumming a "C" chord for 4 beats, and wanting to play it (timestretched) at "C", "A" and "D" (and have the notes all preserve the same timing). for example. As far as I know, the method I described is the only way to make that work.

The way you described, when you play the same at say "A" (below the original note) the strumming will be slower (b/c simpler & sampler don't timestretch), if you play the "D" (above the original note) the strumming would be faster.

I use drumracks usually with the default simplers but sometimes I want to put a pitch envelope on a drum or something sampler is better for that. I use samplers as synth modules using my own waveforms. That is like 60% of my tunes, the rest is audio lanes and vsti.

I remember doing these things in Reason back in the day. Was a major chore. Now so simple. Really I would just load it up on an audio lane, warp and then adjust the transpose to whatever note I wanted to change it to, couldn't be easier.

Just re-read, that is a x2 on contakt.
