When i resample to ram in sampling mode resulting sample always plays 1 tone lower.. probably because of some samplerate issue...
Just try to resample any sample to ram and playback sample in sample page.

In the sample setup page below the "Index" edit cell and "Sample" assign edit cell, you will see an edit cell to set "Orig.Key".
Below is an excerpt from the Parameter guide that i copied and pasted.
It mentions that setting the Orig key determines which key will play exactly in the tone/pitch that you recorded. Keys below original key setting will play back a semitone lower per each key below original key. Keys above will play a semitone higher.
If you have this set correctly and your problem is still there, then try setting "Constant pitch" check box to active. That will make every key a constant pitch when played. If your constant pitch is still playing a semitone off, then you have eliminated this possibility as your problem source, and i hope someone else can come back with a solution for you.

Ohhh! One more thing. After setting original key, "Create zone Preference" seems like it could switch things around on you if you do not have the zone preferences set to have Original key position as the "bottom", "center" or "top" depending on where you expect it to be in the order. If it is set to center but you expect it to be on top or bottom, you will hear the pitch difference.
"Constant Pitch" enable will of course eliminate any zone preference issues but it also takes away the creative arrangement possibilities that zone preference settings allow.

Original Key [C-1...G9]
Specifies the key that will play the sample at its original pitch (i.e., the pitch at which it was recorded). The pitch will change in semitone steps relative to the original key.

For example, suppose that you recorded a sample with Original Key of F2. When the zone of the index is C2–B2, pressing the F2 key would playback the sample at its original pitch. Pressing F#2 would playback the sample a semitone higher. Pressing E2 would playback the sample a semitone lower. The pitch of this sampled sound will change in semitone steps between C2 and B2, centered at F2.

The original key location can also be viewed in “Keyboard & Pads.”
Note: If Constant Pitch (3–1b) is checked, the sample will be sounded at its original pitch by all notes in the zone.

Top Key [C-1...G9]
Specifies the highest key in the zone of the index. The zone is defined by this Top Key.
For example, suppose that you set a Top Key of B2 for index 001/002, and a Top Key of B3 for index 002/002. This means that the zone of index 001 will be B2 and lower, and the zone of index 002 will be C3–B3.

Range
This indicates the zone (area) that was determined by the Top Key setting.
The sample selected by Sample Select will sound in this area. The zone for each index can also be viewed in “Keyboard & Pads.”

Create
This creates an index. Use this when you wish to add a sample to a multisample.
When you press the Create button, a new index will be created according to the Create Zone Preference (0–1e, 3– 1c) parameters Position, Zone Range, and Original Key Position.
If you wish to delete an index or exchange indexes, use P3: Multisample Edit.

Parameter Guide page 686 {create zone preference} Original key position section is at the bottom of the excerpt.

1e: Create Zone Preference
These settings define the initial state of the indexes that are created when you press the Create button (0–1b, 3–1b). Each new index will be created according to the settings you make here, but you are free to modify the settings later.

Position [Right (to Selected Index), Left (to Selected Index)]

Specifies whether the new index will be created at the right or left of the selected index.

Right (to Selected Index): The new index will be created at the right of the currently selected index.

Left (to Selected Index): The new index will be created at the left of the currently selected index.

Zone Range [1 Key...127 Keys]
Specifies the key range of the newly created index.
1 Key: Each individual note of the keyboard will be an index. The sample of an index will sound at its original key when you play that note.
2 Keys–127 Keys: The sample will change pitch in semitone steps across the specified number of keys, centered on the original key Original Key (0–1b, 3–1b). If Constant Pitch (3–1b) is checked, the pitch will not change.


ORIGINAL KEY POSITION [Bottom, Center, Top]
Specifies where the original key will be located in the zone (specified by “Zone Range”) for a newly created index.
Bottom: The lowest key in the zone will be the original key. Center: The middle key in the zone will be the original key. Top: The top key in the zone will be the original key.
