For me, this kind of worked, but often when searching for samples or loading
samples while Logic was playing the cycle, I'd get an audio overload error
and Logic would stop. So I'd wake up the next morning only to find Logic had
stopped three instruments into the 2000 or so I'd wanted to process.

A better way for me was to assign a function key to "Next EXS Instrument",
and simply hold it down. This way, the EXS just starts loading each
instrument sequenctially in turn, without the complexities of trying to keep
playing during tons of disk access.

To keep this going while you go to bed, stick something heavy on the key, or
use sellotape or blutack to hold the key down. There's few problems a decent
wodge of blutack can't solve..! :-)
