Hi Hendrik Jan,
Here's a little tip for you:
1) Get yourself some program to delete (or move) all "cloned" samples from
your EXS samples directory (on Windows there's a freebie called Clonespy,
www.clonespy.de). This is important for the following steps.
2) Setup a MIDI message in the EXS's preferences to switch programs (one for
"program up" should be enough).
3) Setup a cycle with a sequence sending the defined MIDI message on an EXS
track.
4) Select the very first EXS instrument.
5) Let the sequence play and go have a coffee (or whatelse).

=> When you come back all your instruments should've been loaded at least
once, so any further loading will open them very fast.
Now you might also see the reason for 1): If the EXS finds any duplicated
samples it will ask which ones you'd like to use, which you have to answer
manuallly and therefor the described process won't work.

Regards,
Sascha
