The EXS24 will search for audio files - it doesn't really matter where you put
them. If the alias thing works then that is an option I guess. Personally,  if
I want to move them I just drag the folder to another drive. 

The potential problem with doing this is that every instrument that uses those
files will need to search your drives to find the new locations -- when this
involves tens or hundreds of instruments it can be a PITA but for one
instrument -- who cares? There was some discussion of this by other Mac users a
couple of months ago on this list.

That file (if it is the one I uploaded)  organises the samples into groups
which makes it suitable for routing to multiple outs -- it isn't essential but
it makes the kit more flexible -- I tend to split kits up (snare, kick, hats,
toms etc) for separate processing.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
