I've played a bit more - the looping thing is just plain weird.

I import an E4 Ultra Library preset in - the loops in the samples play fine and all is well. Then I save the preset in M5 format. I load it in again and the loops are broken. Every time. Can't fix them by resetting the (now altered) loop attributes on the samples.

However, I took the precaution of converting some of my old library to EXS format using Chicken Systems' Translator. Guess what? The same preset loads perfectly in .exs format, and even survives saving in m5 format. Loopy. Or not, depending how you look at it.

Way back when I was a young punk, my package used to arrive every morning. :lol::

FINGERS CROSSED :-)
Indeed! Thank you, Johnny. :wink:
