"Multisampling" (Music Technology)

When a sampler records a musical instrument accurately at a certain pitch, then that pitch should be reproduced accurately. If, however you stray up or down the keyboard by a few octaves, you may find that the pitch is less accurate, and has "drifted" somewhat. When this is the case it is necessary to "multisample" or make multiple recordings of the original instrument at certain points in the musical scale (eg every octave) to keep the drift under control. This is known as "Keygrouping".
When the correct procedure for "keygrouping" (assigning an accurate central pitch and keeping the amount of surrounding pitches covered to a reasonable limit) is followed, then the pitches within the keygroup should be a reasonably accurate with a (more or less) inaudible amount of "pitch-shift" (alteration of pitch).
