How to change instrument to original key?

[FriedRiceAzn]

I'm trying to create a song until I realised that the instruments (using piano01.gg) isn't in it's normal key.

Never heard of "piano91.gg" but if you happen to mean piano01.ogg then that is a sample. Piano01.ogg is actually a C - so if you move the little green square above the mini keyboard so it is over the C (it's usually over A by default) then it will play the correct notes.

But a proper piano will sound a lot better, something like the MDA PIano VST.

Is there a way to transpose all the instrument to the normal piano key?

The only way I know is to drag the green dot over to the C key individually on all of your instruments.

a sample cant do that in native lmms.
You would need a real sampler plugin in order to achieve that, and unfortunately we yet need to find a sampler, that do not have problems in lmms af any kind.

A sample will only play that one note in correct pitch and length in the fixed actual posistion determined by the actual samples oscilations in Hz, so in order to have a 'piano' made out of ogg samples, you would need one sample for each semitone!
A Sampler does this logically for you, and then distribute the new Hz over a set number of semitones.

Steve is 100% correct, you need a real piano-plugin, or you can synthezise your own in f.i. synAddSubbFX or Synth1 (or find one online:)

MDAPiano is a good alternative!

Can you be a bit more specific? What instrument or instruments? What do you call "the normal piano key"?

Basically in it's normal key, like a normal piano.

As i already told you: The sample of a g# semitone, will only play correctly, if you press g#

In respect to choosing a different or 'origional-key' you move the base-note
