Multi-Octave Sampler?

Google didn't throw up anything but maybe I can't explain it very well...

Basically I'm wondering if anyone knows of a sampler that you can load multiple octave samples of the same instrument or patch into; a traditional sampler (in my experience anyway) takes one sample, and shortens/lengthens it to achieve the pitch when you play, but this can sound stupid when you extend the range much past an octave, so is there a sampler that would allow me to take say, 4 violin samples at ascending octaves, and then upon playing a chord or series of notes spanning a few octaves, it will use the octave sample closest to it, therefore reducing the problem of severly shortened notes?

Anyone got any clues?! Cheers

The nn-xt sampler in reason can do this if i'm not mistaken. But I guess you're looking for a vst, which I can't help you with.

Direct Wave in FL can also do this

Any sampler can do this. I'd skip directwave, honestly. Am an imageline fan boy, too, btw. There are free samplers out there. There is Kontakt, part of komplete.
