    I'm sequencing the epic Elegy (3rd  movement from Serenade for Strings and Mr. Tchaikovsky wants an A4 from the double basses....the official range is G$. Is there some way I can massage another step out of the samples? maybe load a seperate insturment  for that note and tune it higher than A440? If that's the best bet, how would I go about doing that?

    You could always use the range extension feature in VIPro, which you will find on the advanced page, a button with two arrows just above the keyboard, on the right side.

    Why not just use the pitch fader?  I think you can adjust the pitch of a note up or down a 5th?  or is it a 3rd?  And you can adjust how much you want it to adjust by changing the cents value.

    AFAIK, it is only the Orchestral legato that doesn't have written A4 (sounding A3), and from memory the basses don't slur into this note anyway, so the other articulations should be fine.

    I think you just saved my bacon...I am just in the process of switching from sequencing using Sibelius...to playing lines in. Sibelious has always handled so much for me...like remembering little factoids like, transposition between written and sounding...Oops....however much I felt like a noob before....now i REALLY feel silly :(

    Tried the pitch - it doesn't seem to bend a sample above the pitch range. It had no effect on that top note.
