when I import the .mid file it doesn't load the samples

Hi there,

> but.. I still can't get the damn things to play..
at all. ever? Or just a problem with certain banks?

> when I import the .mid file it doesn't load the samples
> or instrument at all :(
Midi files have nothing to do with the loading of files and samples.
They just play midi (i.e. for recycled beats they play the 'chops' so that
it sounds like the original loops. Same for Skippy's groove control beat
midi files. You still have to select the sampler instrument. If your samples
don't load theh they might be in the wrong place.
Load an instrument that plays. Find where the samples are and put the
samples for the thing that won't play in the same folder.
 
> anyone got a clue?
I spose I am taking it that you have been able to get a sound from it at
least once...
HTH
cheers-

This is not correct. EXS will read WAVs and AIFFs just fine. I do it ALL the 
time. Most of my custom kits are from WAV samples pulled off the internet.

MIDI is not responsible for loading the sampler. You'd best revisit your 
manual.
