Hard to tell much on the show floor with all the other activity
around, but with all that the samples sounded good to my ears. If the
loops really are intrument samples, then transposing them *should*
affect the quality somewhat. You can't change the key and keep the
same timbre. Commercial musical instruments that are based on samples
typically use several samples per octave.
