Hi,
I want to record a sample and bind that to a key and I want to spread the sample over one or 2 octave. [I can sample multiple samples of keys of different octave]
But I don't want to sample for each and every keys.
 
Please advise any software sampler.
 
Regards
Snehankur

Plogue sforzando works fine, but you will need to edit text files in the sfz format. 
 
I have both Plogue and TX16Wx, but I think if I was wanting to quickly assign some samples across the keyboard, I would prefer the drag and drop GUI in TX16Wx.  The graphic visualization of the key range and the root notes just works better for me.  Also the built-in wave editor makes setting up loop start and end points a breeze.

Ah. OK.
Then just drag-drop a sample on the included sfz.exe

Yes, that works, but what what I was trying to say was that with sforzando you need to edit the sfz file to define the keyranges as "regions" for each sample.  
 
If you just have one sample, there is no difference.
 
But, say you had several octaves, and one sample per octave, and you want to map each sample out over groups of twelve semi-tones, or the keys for one octave.
 
This is referred to as multi-sampling.  With Plogue sforzando, you would need to define the regions of each key range as a region in the sfz text file.
 
The difference in a sampler such as TX16Wx is that you can still drag and drop the sample files, but then you can just drag the regions for each sample on the keyboard mapper UI to the desired keyrange and expand them until you cover a complete octave.  Done!  Easy!!!
