	More info!  All I need is the ability to sustain sounds!  If it's a
simple as editing a block or two that's great!  But I don't think it could be
that easy.
	Instant Synth has the ability to mark loop points in samples but it
won't load Soundsmith type sounds.  Does anyone know how to convert ASIF SS
instruments to load into INstant synth?  The IS files DO work in SS and they
do sustain!

	Later...
