say i have a samplenbsp;that isnbsp;labled ‘Rhodes sunset C’ and i put it in to simpler, if i want a G do i just press the G key or do i have to offset?
Yeah if its already in C playing a G will be a G
sorry i got it wrong. thenbsp;sample is actually a G. does this still mean i can plonk it anywhere and it will playnbsp;in the not i put it on??nbsp;
If its in g then the C key will play G as it won’t know any different.br
In simpler the c3 key is called te root. So c3 will play the sample unaffected. To get the keys to match up you will need to transpose it up (or down) the right amount of notes until you get the sample to be in C.
just to confirm, C is 4 notes lower than G right… so to get the C if i go 4 notes down from C3nbsp;wich is F2 and press that keynbsp;i will get a C? 
no F# as its 6 keys down on a keyboard… or transpose it down 6 and it will be in key to the keyboard
cool cheers
just think of it this way, whenever you use sampler/simpler, tune your sample into C tio get the keys to match
so in simpler go to envelopes transpose then pull the bar down -6st?? then that will be a C?
also is there some kind of plug in that will tell me what note a smample is if i put it on a channel?? when im at home i use the g strings app on my fone but obviously you need speakers so cant use it with headphones .
Drop the Ableton Spectrum analyser on the track and play the sample. The graph will show you the frequency and note if you hover the mouse over the peak. I find this pretty good and then you can use your ears to fine tune.br

Hope this helpsbr

Or whack a simple synth or piano down and play c, then test the tone against the sample until its right. Also if you reconfigure the midi inputs one key can play two instruments which can help as you then transpose the sample until it sounds right…
cool thanks guize
