You could try restricting the search that EXS makes for sample in your preferences (open the Instrument editor and pick preferences from the edit menu). In general, you can tell the EXS what drives to search on and if all the files that you want it to use are on one drive you might be able to resrtict the search to that drive. I am on PC and I only use local drives for my samples so I cannot test this here. Hope this helps, Regards, Murray
