    Hendrik,

   I was told on www.osxaudio.com that this is a known bug in OSX but word is it works in 
OS9.I'm doing as you say but the soundfont instruments have no sound and no audio file 
shows up in the sample editor under "zone".I'm getting no more info from anywhere on 
this and was hoping someone had a fix or work around.I can't talk to tech support until 
Monday to confirm that this is indeed a "bug".I've read somewhere that this is a problem in 
the exsp24 OSX version but nothing of the exs24 bug.Is there a fix in the pro upgrade or 
does it just not work?Is there a problem with the free soundfonts on 
www.hammersound.net ? Is it just me or do others have this problem?Can I use something 
like CD extract to get the soundfonts to work in the exs24?Any info even to confirm this 
problem will help me get through the weekend without going crazy.Nothing works as it 
should it seems....:-(

    Thanks,

   Jay
