Some addition: You may need to change this path each time you convert a new
set of loops. In case you are working with REX files in the arrange you may
even need to switch the global option off. I mean, you don't want song
related audiofiles in your EXS sample folder...

Another addition: I meant that you'd load the appropriate loop in the EXS'
pulldown, not from that "open" dialog (which wouldn't work anyways). Of
course it's only making sense to have your REX files and the EXS files
sorted in the same way (identical folder and subfolder structure that is).
