Can you change pitch without changing speed?

Pitch scaling is the opposite: the process of changing the pitch without affecting the speed. Pitch shift is pitch scaling implemented in an effects unit and intended for live performance. Pitch control is a simpler process which affects pitch and speed simultaneously by slowing down or speeding up a recording.

How do you change pitch without losing quality?

If you want your sample to be faster and higher in pitch, increase the session's sampling rate. If you want your sample to be slow and lower in pitch, decrease the session's sampling rate. Notice that when you select the 192kHz sampling rate, the track plays exactly twice as fast, and at twice the pitch.

Does changing sample rate change pitch?

If the system was set to a sample rate of 48 kHz and we used a 44.1 kHz audio file, the system would read the samples faster than it should. As a result, the audio would sound sped up and slightly higher-pitched.
