Macro to transpose in Ableton?

Is there a way to transpose a single hit over say, two octaves, automatically incrementing by 1 semitone per sample? I normally have to copy a sample that I bounce out of massive 24 times and manually increment by 1 semitone in order to properly warp samples, since Sampler/Simpler don't warp the samples. Just something I've been wondering. If theres not, I guess I'll continue laboring haha.

effectrix by sugarbytes has a preset on its x-loops function that effectively staircases up like you describe. not sure if it is in semitones though.
but if you're using massive couldn't you just write in the midi notes that way?

I could for that, but say, if I am using a one shot I've tweaked, I can't effectively do that unless I do it as I mentioned before. Definitely will do this for sounds I've done up in massive and fm8 though.

Put it in a drum rack. Link "drum" samples octave parameter to macro, automate from there!

Effectrix definitely can do that with the x-fade effect as someone said earlier. Or you could maybe try to go into the audio sample after its bounced down, and find the envelope tool, then automate the transpose button. If you wanted to have it make a somewhat gated effect you could set the sample in to beats mode and mess around with the preserve transient settings that way it could pitch up the way you are describing.
