There is an advantage to this method over loop until release:

You can easily control the level of the release sample relative to the
actual sample using volume in the group, you can't do this with loop
till release.

At least I don't think you can.

You can also have the release samples on a different EXS instrument
cabled to the original one for even more flexibility
