Looking for the right Sampler

Hello everyone,

I've been working in a non synth electronics program that spits out some really heavy sounds in wav format. I want to play these sounds in ableton but I believe I'm missing the right type of sampler.

Is there any sampler that can accept a high quality wav file...play, loop, modulate it... In different frequencies while leaving the wav file free of artifacts?

Thanks

Have you tried the actual sampler plugin in ableton?

Not really, I assumed that it didn't possess pitch bending capabilities...

Any soft sampler will do, but the amount of artifacts depends completely on how much you
pitch it up or down of course.

If you want to maintain timing while pitching up or down, you need a sampler with an algorithm for that. Izotope Iris does this quite well I think.

Sampler has pitch bending, most sampler will definitely have pitch bending. In the Sampler plugin you have to set the range for the pitch bend though. You could also just warp clips in Ableton and then pitch them up or down. An audio track in session view is basically a sampler in it's own right.
