Hey Sam, I have another sampling question. Let's say an instrument is sampled in whole steps. Do the results tend to be better if the gaps are filled in by tuning up lower notes (C -> C#, D -> D#, etc) or tuning down higher notes (D -> Db, E -> Eb, etc), or does it not really matter?
If the answer is that neither tuning up nor tuning down are inherently better than the other, then my next question is why bother sampling in whole steps? Why not minor thirds, in which case each sample can cover three notes by tuning both up and down a half step?
