So you guys know why the values for RTRG are set the way they are?
12-tone scale!
Elektron know what they are doing! They are bangin'
So you can use the Comb-Filter arp trick on any sample!

Here we go:
http://soundcloud.com/ookpikk/octatrack-rtim-arp-demoGet any sample you like, set RTRG to INF, and RTIM to a level that's the LOWEST note you want to play
Set LFO depth to 127, destination to RTIM, and then with the LFO designer, make your arp - a value of -1 on a step will RAISE the pitch 1 semitone. Use the amp to shape the sound for maximum synth action.
(the other way to do this is to set the RTIM to a level that's the HIGHEST note you want, and then a value of +1 on an LFO step will LOWER the pitch 1 semitone)
- set up another LFO to sweep the sample start point and you have a very usable graintable synthesizer.
