Hello Martin,
You got it right! Thank you very much! So easy!
Interestingly I started off with this combination of parameters. But when I read the parameter descriptions in the CODM manual again and again...
Pitch_RankBaseOutputPitch64ftHarmonicNum: Defines the basic output pitch of the rank. This can differ from the value specified for the pipe samples used; if it does, re-pitching occurs automatically.
... I wrongly understood that HW will re-pitch each individual sample, regardless whether it is available in the original pitch. I reset this parameter to the original pitch, as all required samples were available in the original pitch. They just had to be connected to another key. Unfortunately, I did not check the resulting ODF before I started to experiment with the different parameters. Hauptwerk is obviously smart enough to re-pitch only samples, which do not fall in the compass of the rank, even if the parameter
Pitch_RankBaseOutputPitch64ftHarmonicNum differs from the original pitch of the sample.
Again, thanks a lot for your fantastic support!
Best regards,
Chris
