An .exs file holds some information about the sample, more than just the 
file name, and the engine pays attention to that rather than what is in the 
sample.

You can try this yourself - create a new .exs instrument, add a zone, and 
assign a 16-bit sample to that zone. Shut down EXS (and Logic or whatever) 
and change that sample in an sample editor to a 24-bit sample. Reopen EXS 
and play that original Instrument. Noise...

It's because the .exs file holds bit information, and that's what the 
engine is instructed to recognize the sample as, regardless of the 
information that is in the sample.

So swapping samples is not a fool-proof operation when it comes to EXS. It 
is with most other software samplers, but not EXS.
