If I remember correctly, the EXS only gives you a choice between samples that are identical -- i.e. not just having the same name, but having (at least) the same filelength as well. So it might very well be that you just have 5 or more copies of the exact same sample on your HD. If the EXS then lets you choose from 3 of them, it wouldn't matter which one you pick, as they're all the same anyway. But maybe I'm completely wrong here... >For now I'm looking at renaming a thousand-odd samples - or picking up a cheap >S3000. Neither option is appealing. Renaming won't work, except when you _also_ manually update the EXS instruments. Talking about "not appealing"... Phew... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/
