Of course, that's the intent, but more specifically...

Sometimes you have to investigate a little bit in the editor to see what is 
exactly happening. The editor doesn't display info in a comprehensive way, 
I mean at one look, sometimes.

In a Group, there is a parameter that says "play this sample on note-on" or 
"play this sample on note-off" - that's the "Trigger On" parameter. (Make 
sure that in "View" you are seeing this parameter. I suggest selecting 
"View All" so you see everything.)

"KeyDown" means note-on. "Key Release" means note-off.

Zones, the REAL sample references, can "connect" themselves to Groups. By 
default, all samples play on note-on only, but if a Zone is attached to a 
Group that is set to "note-off", that Zone will play only at note-off.

With your example, there is likely two zones involved - one set with it's 
Group set to "Key Down", the other set to "Key Release". Which is usually 
what the conversion intended - it's silly to have a key range just play a 
note-off.
