Might be …
Might be misunderstanding but you want the sample ( which is originally a C3 ) to play at it’s original pitch and length regardless of what key you play ? In which case you treat it as drum sample like in the video. The other interpretation is you may be asking about multi samples, so to create an accurate sampled pitched instrument you’d sample more than one pitch, so something like a good piano sampler instrument would contain hundreds of samples at different pitches. Am in the right area ?

Im following this method but using it for a C3 synth sample. When i click C2 it isnt the key that has changed but also the pitch and the length. Is there a way i can do this for a synth?

Yes, you can use the the EXS24 as a “multi output instrument” which will give you as many channel strips as you want. If you take a look at my video Logic’s Exs24 and Multiple Outputs that should get you started.

Is there a way to employ a different plugin (reverb, pitch correction, etc.) for each sample?

Two thoughts, I …
Two thoughts, I gather the samples up into a folder before I build the kit but I understand that won’t always work in all circumstances. So, Logic has a easy way of handling this. Do as a SAVE AS, then tick INCLUDE ASSETS. Under the ADVANCED OPTIONS triangle you’ll get a list of tick boxes, tick COPY EXS INSTRUMENTS TO PROJECT FOLDER, also tick COPY EXS SAMPLES TO PROJECT FOLDER, that way you’ll have a complete folder to take to the other rig.

Hi James, thank you …
Hi James, thank you mate. I want to ask you. Once the drum kit is all set up what happens with all the drum samples you put into the drum kit, do i need to put them all in a certain folder? so that when i take the drum kit on to another Logic set up i can use my drum kits?

If I were just building a basic drum kit, not too many velocity layers etc, and not describing the process at the same time it would take me a couple of minutes. Choosing the sounds is usually the longest part of the process for me. So it seems pretty quick and easy to me but I don’t know what you’re used to or expecting. Of course I remember the days of external hardware samplers so this stuff is a walk in the park by comparison!

Not sure how to …
Not sure how to respond to this, there’s so many different ways to achieve drum sounds in Logic, which is fastest and easiest would depend entirely what you are trying to do and what level of complexity and nuance that entails.
In reference to the video, it’s a tutorial so I try to go slowly and be clear. There’s also a lot of “chat” round the topic, I can’t know what people do or don’t know or what they want to know, so I try to cover everything.

@sorcerio You’re not the first person to have done that! Apologies for not being clearer, the videos are captured real time, no scripts, so from time to time I say something really stupid. So a lot like me in “real life” in that respect.
Hope it didn’t spoil your enjoyment of the video.
