No, I meant that +/- 100 cents editing seems only useful for non-drum 
samples.  The pitch adjustment is very useful for all samples.

I was thinking, though, about hardware I've used in the past.  Usually, 
the course adjustment is a knob with graduations and limits (like what we 
have).  On the other hand, the "fine" knob is usually a continuous knob 
with no stops or graduations (markings).

Since that probably got lost in translation... let me explain what I'm 
thinking...

Course Knob:  Whenever you move the course knob, it snaps
               'pitch' to a whole number.  So, if you were
               at 1.40 and move the course knob... you'll
               now be at 0.00 or 2.00.

Course Knob Display:  Integer (rounded value of 'pitch')

Fine Knob:  This knob will not have a mark on it.  It
             will be plain and able to spin freely
             (e.g. 960-degrees).  When the knob is moved,
             it will bump 'pitch' by +/- 1 cent (.01).
             So, if 'pitch' is 1.48 (display: 1, 49) and
             you bump the knob up, you'll see:

                  1, 48
                  1, 49
                  1, 50
                  2, -49
                  2, -48

Fine Knob Display:  Integer between +/- 50.

The problem:  This requires that we modify/fork the Knob widget to allow 
the knob to be free-spinning and event-based ("bumping" the value instead 
of "setting" the value).

Peace,
Gabriel
