i'm considering buying the acid music maker and i was
wondering about something: do samples in acid come in
different notes (for example guitar in an A note B, C, D,
etc. so ican really create a melody with them like in the
magix music maker?

Sometimes a loop is available in several different root notes,
sometimes not. In addition, some loops sound the same but have
different rhythms.

You can change the pitch of a loop in several ways in Acid. One way
is to raise or lower the pitch of an Event (a painted or drawn
portion of a loop) by clicking on the Event and using the numpad's +
and - keys. You can also change the key of multiple Tracks and use
markers to indicate key changes for a whole section.

Note that, as with any sophisticated tool, implementing these
techniques requires a bit of a learning curve. Thankfully, Acid's
toolset makes the process mercifully lenient.
