thanx, but that is what I have been doin, just can't get it perfect,
so I opted instead to make the samples 8 sec long, as were the
original mellotron tapes, I think that will solve my problem, thank
you ;-)

In the EXS editor, switch on the 'loop' parameter for each zone you
want to loop. Then click on the 'E' to the right of the loop
checkbox. This opens the sample in Logic's Sample Editor, where
you'll see 'Ls and 'Le' triangles (start and end of loop). Make sure
'search zero crossings' is checked in the Sample Editor's menu. Now
just try to find good loop points by trial & error, by dragging the
Ls and Le triangles left or right. This is just a matter of patience.
It's a pity Logic doesn't have some sort of smart editing feature for
this. Back on the Atari I had a piece of software that would left
you view the loop end and start (in that order) side by side, in
close-up, so you could make a decent visual guess as to which points
would be good for looping. Something like that would come in very
handy -- or even just the ability to open multiple Sample Editor
windows with the same file, so you could zoom in on both start & end
of the loop simultaneously.
