As Hendrik Jan allready asked: What's the "bug" sounding like?

Did you check the EXS preferences? There might be root note infos embedded
into the audiofile. In that case you may have to switch the preference "read
rootkey from" to "filename only" (very often the rootkey embedded in the
audiofile is just set to C3 as many wave editors default to that key).

Well, personally I am using WaveLab to set all my looppoints. WL also allows
for destructive crossfading and such, it even has a tool, the socalled "Wave
Equalizer", onboard, allowing you to "even out" loop ranges. Usually you can
get pretty much perfect loops with this, even for highly complexed material.
The EXS will then read them out automatically (one exception, which is a
bug: The right looppoint will allways be one sample too early, so you gotta
add 1 to the value).

As Murray allready said, the EXS doesn't do something like Kontakt which has
an onboard stretching function, so, unless you have proper looppoints in
your file, there's not much of a chance to achieve what you want - using the
EXS that is.
