The E-mu hardware samplers used to have something called distortionless pitch 
shifting which worked great. I'm not sure if their virtual samplers have this. I sure 
wish the EXS had a similar algorithm.

I like the sound of the EXS filters but there is a bug with the LPF. If you listen to a 
sample that has an LPF with the res set high, you will here a click (like a bad edit) at 
the very end of the sample. Try this with a deep kick drum and you'll hear what I 
mean.
