Hi it depends on whether you have a collection of samples across a range of pitches, or just one sample that you need to play at different rates/speed to repitch it. You’ll find an example of a simple solution here: > [@How to make chord progressions in Sonic-Pi with Guitar wav files](https://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/how-to-make-chord-progressions-in-sonic-pi-with-guitar-wav-files/9060/3): > > I thought I have a go myself. This is a fairly brute-force, lazy Saturday morning version. You’ll have to organise the progression and voicings yourself. But if, like me, you are lazy, the rpitch: opt for sample playback works surprisingly well on those samples; for example rpitch -5 will give you a G major chord, with an authentic (guitaristic) voicing. PD-Pi [edit] In fact, using rpitch: you can create several chords, either major or minor, from only on… In my example, I repitch a single sample, but it seems you do not want to do that. In that case, each pitched playback will need to be a different sample, as I think you are asking for.
