Subject:Sound Forge 5 and ACID loops

I apologize if this is a simple or uneducated question, but I don't have any real expereince with Sound
Forge or ACID. I downloaded the beta version of SF5 and I'm having trouble editing my ACID loops
with it. I'll open a loop as a new project, go into the ACID Loop properties, change the key, and
nothing happens -- the loop sounds exactly the same. I know that ACID is the program that's really
designed for this kind of work, but I'd heard Sound Forge would also do it...

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a mistake in the program? Did I misunderstand the edit loop
properties and you can't really change the loops in Sound Forge as you can in ACID? Please let me
know if it's possible to edit the tempo/key/etc. of loops in Sound Forge and, if so, tell me what I am
doing wrong? Thanks!

P.S. The Methods of Mayhem loops are awesome!

Changing the Acid properties of a file doesn't actually do
anything to the audio. These properties are just a way for
you to tell Acid how it should treat the audio. For
example, if you say the Root Note of the Sample is C, and
then set the Acid project to have a master key of D, Acid
will transpose the Sample from C to D during playback.

To change the actual pitch of an audio file, go to
Effects/Pitch/Shift (in SF 4.5) in the Sound Forge Menu.
