This is done routinely Wyndham but maybe not a full octave. That's what the Elastique (time stretch algo) is for. AFAIK all the instrument RT's are recorded 3 times with each one being about a third apart to account for exactly what you're asking about. The Elastique handles the keys in between those recordings.
