For example, lets say I slice up a simple 4 bar drum beat.

In the beat, there's going to be multiple snare hits, high hats, kicks, etc that get sliced.

It doesnt make sense to sample each high hat slice and assign them to different keys/pads. It makes more sense to sample every high hat, but then group it into a specific "high hat" pad/key where every time you hit that key/pad, it will play a different high hat sample (that was sliced from the original sample). If that makes sense.

So every time you hit a specific key/pad, you will hear the high hat, but a different sounding slice of the high hat so that it sounds more realistic. Is this possible using Simpler in Ableton?

You're describing what's called "round robin" sample playback, here's how Ableton suggests you implement it https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... e-playback
