Many thanks for your answers. Have tried Eli's suggestments and missed exactly the later 
Sacha's answer about crossfading (to avoid the 'bump' between loop start and end), but 
since my inexperience in logic's sample editor (I used Peak in the past on OS9) I am a bit 
confused with saving my editings and other tasks:
1) How can I put a cross-fade between loop end and beginning? They are far away.
2) It's all the time a destructive editing, isn't it?
3) There are 3 types of cello attack modes mf, marcato and another, but they seem to 
responde at all at the same velocity values (0-127). How do I know what sample logic 
chooses when I play the part?
I'm shure that it's a reklativly simple task, but please help me to save a little time.
TIA
