Thanks for all the replies - anyway sorted now, but for the record there is some method in NI's system.
Every sample is listed with a number at the end, they seem to run in sequence such as sample 'snare01', 'snare02', 'snare03', 'snare04' if at that point the next sample is 'snare07' and then the sequence restarts each batch of sequences is a group of samples. That's how it works.
I don't know why NI in their genius could not have called them a different name in each group - it is beyond me! 'vorsprung der teknik!'
