What happens to a sample when it is transposed using the sampler?

When a sample is transposed using a sampler, it primarily affects both the pitch and the speed of the audio. Transposition means changing the pitch of the sample, which can also alter the playback speed. When you increase the pitch, the sample plays faster, while decreasing the pitch results in a slower playback. This interaction between pitch and speed is a fundamental characteristic of samplers, allowing musicians and producers to creatively manipulate audio.

The other choices are not accurate representations of what happens during transposition. Volume adjustments are distinct from pitch and speed changes and do not relate to transposition directly. Altering sample duration without affecting pitch or speed would involve different processes, such as time-stretching, which is separate from the concept of transposing. Sound enhancement through the addition of other elements does not occur simply from a transposition action but rather from mixing or sound design techniques. Therefore, the assertion about pitch and speed adjustment aptly encapsulates the essence of what happens during the transposition of a sample using a sampler.
