I was wondering if there was a way I could change the pitch of some of the sounds in VDL (particularly the tenors and basses). Would I need to buy kontakt player? If so will any version do?

When using VDL with sib, is there a way to input sticking as I enter in the sounds with my keyboard?

Thanks for the help

If you're using VDL 2.5, you already have Kontakt Player. Did you mean the full version of Kontakt. In short, no - you can alter the overall pitch of an instrument using the tune knob on the Instrument interface as highlighted in the screenshot below. This will raise the pitch and increase the speed of the samples, so you'll loose a little bit of resonance in the process.

I'm not sure if they get saved when you save a score. However, you could make this a permanent change if you had the full version of Kontakt.
