Anyone know a Plugin for Matching Key

[luke_m]

I previously used an MPC2000 which is an AKAI Sampler to get all my samples in the correct key.

Is there a similar key-matching thing in plugin form?

Perhaps something I can play my session, then keep triggering the sample until i realise what the correct key is before I apply it.

Thanks

Most Daw's have a 'Pitch shifter' plug in which you can adjust by tones and cents. Start with tones and get it as close as poss b4 touching cents. Most of the time you won't need to adjust the cents unless the original recording is not concert pitch or it got meddled with. Of course you do this by ear...glad you are bothering. It really bugs me when people make music and don't bother to put the samples in tune with each other Evil!

When you say "the right key", do you mean just tune the samples, or do you mean, say, a sample of a violin phrase playing D melodic minor, and you want it to do D phrygian?

I would probably recommend Melodyne in any case. The problem with regular pitch shifting plugins is that they often sound very "artificial" very quickly.

Celemony Melodyne ;)

Interesting Thanks!!

Yes, Thanks I just mean tuning them, like in Logics EXS24
Sampler, you have a circular dial you drag the tune of the
sample.

I'm hanging out for digidesigns STRUCTURE! Looks like the ticket

Maybe I'm missing a point here, but wouldn't it be far simpler in the long run to just open up the samples that are off in an audio editor that can do pitch adjustment, spend some time tuning things, save, and be done with it?

Yeah that could be easyer, but im working with say a rhodes loop, and have 20 different string samples, and i want to find one that kind of matches, and then tune it so it works together perfectly with the rhodes loop.

If i was to tune them all before hand, the other 19 remaining would be out of tune for the next thing i try and match them to.

:Roll eyes:
That made no sense at all did it?

I think I'm just going to buy an Akai MPC 4000 Im sorry to say!
