It's been awhile now, but if I remember correctly, I did use the 
"include release trigger" option when converting the .gig files, but 
none of the release instruments ever worked properly so I dropped 
them from the EXS versions. Take a quick look through the EXS 
instruments and see if any of them include "rel" in their filenames. 
That would be the clue---I could be wrong about this.

EXS expands .gig files into a default directory in the Logic 
Application Support folder called "DLS-Giga Samples," but you can 
create an alias of this folder to have the expansion directed 
automatically to the drive and folder of your choice. This will save 
you the hassle of having to move all the data after expanding. Also, 
it would be most efficient to expand all the gig files first, then 
trash all the automatically converted instruments and replace them 
with the ones we did. If you already have our files in your Sampler 
Instruments folder some may get overwritten or other confusion may ensue.
