Sampler: change pitch - keeping sample length

I honestly thought this feature came along with the audio track, but it seems to have slipped. So with most samplers you can chose to load a sample, spread it across the keys (aka Keyboard mode) and play it back in different keys. BUT the sample gets shorter the higher notes you play and longs by deeper notes. This is OK when you get a piano or a regular instruments. BUT in many cases you want to maintain the way the envelope or phrase follows the beat, jut play it up or down.. All i'm asking for is a "maintain tempo" or "maintain length"- option in the sample so when playing it over other notes, it maintains it's length. This is particularly usefull when working with shorter vocal phrases or drum hits like flams etc.

There might be a way to do this, but I cannot find it anywhere.

 

Just one more example where this is useful: say you got a small vocal or instrument phrase you want to make a chord of, if timing is not adjusted every sample will play slightly different and end of different time. That is totally useless if you work with say vocal bits.

See attached video that showcases the challenge...

 

I think that's possible in Kontakt...
What you are asking for basically is: "Real-time time stretch in the regular sampler while Sound is in keyboard mode."
It has been asked for a lot, for years now...

Depending on the situation the Audio module can be used for what your are asking since in Gate mode Notes change the Pitch of the loop but it doesn't restart the loop when you play a note... So, its only half the battle for now but the Audio module is still new and basic, maybe your request can be added as a new Audio module PlayBack Mode.

 

Will see...as it is right now and propably will stay this way for a long time (regarding other feature request - feature "implementation" timetables) it is useless if you don't use loops or want a sample to start in the middle of a pattern e.g. Ah, and don't forget all those new bugs which will propably stay in the code for another decade.
