Samples! Pitch is a Bitch!

Hello!

To make a short story long...

Ya' all know, that when importing wav samples and then enter a note that is "higher" ...the pitch gets raised but so does the speed of the sample, so you if you started out with a sample that lasted 10 seconds it only is 3 seconds long if you use higher notes.

However... is there a VST Plugin or some other stuff I can use, to pitch the sample instead of "the old way"?

The annoying this about this it that I have a program I make my basses in. This program does not exist as a VST, so I have to convert all the notes I want in my song to wav first and THEN import them.

It's as close to hell as you can get!

What can I do?!?!?!

Thankz!

Shiny-fx had Spectral Monkeyage and Phazvoc which could do Pitch shifting. But unfortunately their site is now one of those stupid ad sites.

Maybe a google search could reveal them (anyone please put a link up here, I want my Spectral Monkeyage back )

Yeah, Spectral Monkeyage is great! All links to it seem gone - although I have both the stereo & mono versions. I could e-mail them (they're freeware), if anybody needs them.

Otherwise, try Shivashifta or Madshifta from Tobybear:

They do the trick, although the monkey-thing sounds better in my ears. Pitch shifting does decrease the soundquality anyway, so what I usually do is record many octaves (C2-C3-C4 etc.) from my (hardware) synth to one sample in one go, and then just load & cut the ones I need with the wave-editor in Psycle. Having a sample for each note sounds like hell to me... but that's probably what pro's have.

I have a link to Spectral Monkeyage on my Kääpiösaaren Salaisuuks-page in the songs section

Hmm tweaking the VST to do melodies sounds like hell. A sampler VST that automatically does that would be interesting...

Steinberg Ultravoice does the best realtime Pitch Shifting of single instruments I've ever heard, but IIRC it crashes Psycle.

wavelab4 does AWESOME pitchshifting/time compression too

...but not in real-time

Of non-realtime software, I think Prosoniq Soundfactory still remains to be beaten. It can do things that are just unbelievable!
