It _seems_ that loading the Wizoo XXL "fxb" file loads all the Wizzo samples for all the XXL kits into memory. I'm not certain though. I am basing this on the fact that multiple instances of the LM-4 with different XXL kits took no time to load; compared to the four or five seconds it takes for the first one. -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions
