I am trying to make a layered patch with a horn chord sample and a kick drum.

I would like the kick drum to just play at the same pitch across the board as it is a percussive element. So regardless of where it is played on the keyboard, it should sound the same.

Is it possible to do this?

(for example, in Redux there is a button "KEY->Pitch" that when disabled plays all keys at the same pitch)

Yes, just turn off Key>pitch option for the drum layer, and maybe assign a key range to it and horn, so it doesn't play together with the horn.

That's the thing, I don't see where the Key>pitch option is in TAL Sampler. Logically it would be in the Mapping Editor I think, but I don't see anything.

I may be missing something obvious, please let me know if you know where it is.

On the mapping edit page, it's called 'Track', and it's directly below the 'Delete Mapping' button (version 4.5.7).

Yeah, you have to open sample editor by clicking on the sample waveform and then untick "track" in the upper right corner.

Thanks so much! I can't believe I missed it.

Yes, it's possible to make the kick drum play at the same pitch regardless of where it's played on the keyboard in Kontakt 7. Here's how you can do it:

Load your kick drum sample in Kontakt 7.
Go to the Mapping Editor.
Select the zone that contains your kick drum sample.
In the Zone Parameters section, find the Key Tracking option.
Set the Key Tracking to 0%. This will ensure that the sample plays at the same pitch no matter which key is pressed.
By setting the Key Tracking to 0%, you disable pitch changes across the keyboard, allowing your kick drum to sound the same at any pitch.
