form synth - does it matter what note / key the sample start with is in ?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi, I have had a bunch of NI instruments for a while but have not dug into them all enough,

I have - form and want to start using it - experimenting,

I've seen some quick guide videos on using it and understand you can import any sample as a starting point, but does it matter what note or pitch of the sample you import is?

example -

So if I used a sample that was a one-shot note of A , then processed it,

When I press C on the keyboard afterwards - is form still outputting the note of C, D will still be D and so on -

so it is not relative to the pitch/note of the sample starting point?

any pointer appreciated

Cheers

Hey @converted This is taken from the 2nd paragraph of the manual: "When you drag a sample into FORM, the instrument analyses it. After determining the pitches present in the sample, FORM constructs a pitch curve that is superimposed on the sample "

Hello,

form analyzes the pitch and takes it off the sample as good as it can, depending on the sample, on the sample tab you have a pitch-curve , you can see a line through the sample showing it. so if you play a c2 it should be a c2 and so on. Only of course if then on the sound tab the osc is not set to an offset.
