    If you mean to have it in a higher pitch, just raise the pitch knob value on the machiniste when you put the hi hat in. Or if it is from a beatbox machine, I personally suggest to look up that same drum sound in the sample library and put it in the machiniste to pitch it.

    If you mean sounding by how often/fast the sample plays...just place it on the timeline more. Like, leave less empty space for it on the timeline.

    If the tempo of your arrangement is 140 bpm (destination tempo), then you don't need to do anything: bringing a sample into your desktop will adjust it to the track's tempo regardless of original tempo (be sure to select a playback mode: pitch shift or time stretch).
