I think the simplest thing to do is take the .exs file and associated sample files, and move them to some type of "master folder" outside the Sampler Instruments folder. Then tweak away and save the .exs Instrument. Next time, do the same thing; kind of like a verison 1, version 2 type thing. Garth Hjelte Sampler User ------------------------------------
