Hey thanks a lot for that, that's great.  I guess I'm trying to do both.  I've 
been using SFZ to play the instruments, but was just trying to figure out how I 
might get around to messing with sampled phrases.  I didn't really think to 
mess around with what I might be able to do within Sound Forge.
     Whenever I hear something I'd like to sample, I always have ideas in my 
head of what I'd like to have it sound like in a beat, like up an octave, etc, 
but just have a difficult time figuring out what tools to use to get it to 
sound that way.  SF sounds like a good place to start.
Thanks,

Justin
