Thanks for the reply. It's kinda what I figured but wasn't sure and haven't 
had enough time to experiment(hopefully next week I will). I like to retain 
the sample name of the library it came from or if it's an audio CD (as in 
this case) the name listed in the documentation. And in this recent case 
each different snare sampled used identical names and was determined by the 
folder it resides in. I wonder now if using an external editor (such as 
peak) to modify the samples would then confuse EXS. Again something I can 
experiment with but won't have a chance for a little while.
