Chromatic Pitching of Samples within KG

How'd you recommend to assign samples to the keys if you
had 1 sample per octave with root frequencies (C2, C3, C4,...) ?

Would you use pure up-pitch-shiftung (sample C3 covers keys C3 to B3),
or also a mixture of up- and down-pitching like: sample C3 covering the keys from G2 to #F3.

I'm planning to sample some of my favorite synths into the MPC4000
and want to have a good starting point for this work.

Any general advices/experiences?

come on, use your common sense:

if you put the sample in the middle of the pitch shift range, it will never be getting shifted more than half an octave.

If you put it at the bottom, it will be getting shifted 11 semitones before the next octave starts.

Which is going to sound more munchkinized?

Okay, that makes sense!

Although, I recognized alot of synth programs (which contain very basic waveforms like triangle/saw/sine)
use only one sample/octave with pure up-pitch-shifting, I'll definately use at least 2 samples/octave for
sampling my VA stuff.
