EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

And while I may agree with Hendrik Jan about looping Mellotron samples (the
original had no loop option either), I also agree that setting up looppoints
is some sort of a pain with Logics Sample Editor. Personally I am using
WaveLab (PC only) for such tasks and I can only say it's simply brilliant,
you will usually find proper looppoints, even in the most complexed wave
files, plus there's a some bunch of other tools allowing for destructive
sample mangling which is often leading to better results.

Anyways, to switch between the right and left loop point I set up two
keycommands for the Sample Edit window: "Goto Selection Start" and "Goto
Selection End" (I'm using Y and X for those, they are right beside each
other on german keyboard layouts). That way I can quickly jump back and
forth between the two, which is giving me some sort of fast visual control.
In addition, for samples not looping properly I'd experiment with a rather
large crossfade value.

Also, talking about Mellotron samples, there's J.P.Hovercrafts rather famous
ones here:

You can find values for right and left looppoints there (not sure, maybe
they are even included in the wavefile), also, I found the samples to be
pretty useful for some things.
