Hi Sascha, I see that the editor is in fact sample accurate. I guess the problem I'm 
experiencing is that a single sample often falls on both sides of the zero crossing making 
it very difficult to extract a single cycle waveform or loop. An example might be: striking a 
bell and then trying to grab a single wave cycle (post attack) for creating an ambient patch. 
I know DC Offset can cause zero-crossing problems, so I always make sure and deal with 
that before editin - either by processing the file through a Low Cut Filter or by using the 
algorithm in Logic's Sample Editor.

I think I will try a test and record a sinewave into logic, like the one generated by the EXS, 
and see if I can grab a single cylce without any glitches.

Thanks, Matt
