I guess he was talking about looppoints embedded in samples (or inside the
EXS patch for that matter).
The answer to this sadly is no, because the EXS doesn't support "release
loops" or "release samples" - pretty bad for a modern sampler, especially
since one could build up either way more naturally sounding patches
(example: the small buzz happening when you release some bass/guitar string)
or some weird stuff.
Kontakt for instance (and my guess would be a lot of other soft samplers as
well) has some "loop until release" feature.
A workaround (but a highly timeconsuming one) could be to load the release
part of the sample into some other zones which could then be triggered by
note offs. But as said, I wouldn't bother with that method as it's surely
one of the more timeconsuming things I could think of.
That (and being compatible to other platforms and hosts of course) was one
of the reasons for me to buy Komplete 2 (including Kontakt) a while ago.
It's just so much easier to do these things in Kontakt.
