If the EXS loads an .exs file, and the paths are incorrect (meaning there 
is no file with that name in the path that the .exs file stipulates), the 
EXS will starting looking through whole drives to find the file.

You can generally tell the EXS where to look under Options - it will look 
in either Local Volumes or External Volumes. I believe (not sure) that the 
EXS will look through the whole drive of the incorrect path (if the drive 
exists) regardless of what the options say.

So if the EXS does not find your sample, it may be because your Options are 
set correctly to fine the file. Or it could be that the file name really 
doesn't exist; for example, if the .exs file needs to find "brass 1.aif" 
and the file is called "brass1.aif" it's going to miss it. It's got to be 
exact, case insensitive.

Hope that helps!
