sample editor not made by Apple, it is likely that either the Start and End, or Loop point values—
shown in the Parameters area—will no longer be accurate.

Choose the Update Selected Zone(s) Info from Audio File command from the Zone menu.
This command reads loop settings and start and end points directly from the audio file and
updates the settings of the zone—shown in the Parameters area—accordingly.
Use an external instrument editor with EXS24 mkII
EXS24 mkII allows you to use external applications to edit your sampler instruments.
Open sampler instruments in an external instrument editor
1 Choose Options > Open in external Instrument Editor in the EXS24 mkII Parameter window.
2 Locate and select the instrument editor software.
3 Repeat step 1, but choose the Open in [name of external instrument editor] command. This is
the same command as above, but it is automatically renamed after an external instrument editor
is assigned.
4 Edit the instrument in the external instrument editor, then use the external instrument editor to
send the instrument back to Logic Pro.
Important: You need to save the edited instrument in Logic Pro—not the external editor—to
make any instrument changes permanent.
Reassign the external instrument editor
mm
Hold down Option while choosing Options > Open in [name of external instrument editor].
