Correct: if you do a sample select by e.g. mod-wheel (non-velocity), 
all layers are playing at all times.  When you do sample select by 
velocity (the default behaviour) only one layer is triggered instead. 
Layering samples and cycling through them with the mod-wheel can make 
for some pretty cool effect, but it does indeed eat up CPU quite fast.
