Synth users: whats the function that I can record a sound and then play it in different notes ?

Question

on the synth?

I'me seen this many times where someone recorded a sound and then play it in different notes. Please let me know...

Answer 1

As far as I can tell…

Recording/ sampling

You record a sound (via a microphone, or a built-in mic) with a sampler.

The mic and sampler might be separate (like in a studio). [Are there machines with everything built into them? Maybe.]

Transposing

This refers to shifting a note, electronically, either up or down, with either a keyboard (synth), or with music software.

Transposing Purely With Software

Of course, if you have the right music software (Cubase, or Acid Pro, or Protools), you can record the sound first (either directly into your computer’s soundcard – if you wish - or, record it anywhere you like, with a portable device), transfer the sound into your computer, then use the music software to transpose it on your computer -  without even using a ‘hardware’ sampler machine or a synth.

[Do pardon me if my answer is not so synth based. I was trying to help.]
