Depending on what you want to do, there's a few ways to accopmlish it.

If you want simple non-transposition (i.e. same pitch every key)
there's a preset parameter called "NON-TRANSPOSE" in the preset edit
menu.  This plays all samples at unity pitch (which will chaneg over
the keyboard for multisamples)

From there, you can hook a patchcord from Key (any variant) to Pitch
and/or Fine Pitch to achieve other scalings.

However, if you're simply trying to get different tunings (i.e quarter
tones, 24 keys to an octave), there are alternate tunings that you can
select in the preset, near the end of the menu.  There's a whole
selection of factory tunings along with 12 slots for you to make your
own.

To make your own, in the Global menu, the alternate tunings page is
where you can edit them.

For drums/SFX where you want the pitch to change slowly, I'd recommend
the first method of approach, namely enabling non-transpose, and then
hook a cord from Key+- -> Pitch.  For doing your quarter-tone tuning,
I'd recommend making and using a user tuning table.
