You might try the oscil1 (or oscil1i) oscillator. This will loop through your 
sample once over the duration of the note, which is what I assume you want. 
Make the duration parameter the same as the duration of the original sample
if you're resynthesizing at the same sample rate as the sample you're loading
was sampled at. (Does that make sense, or am I being nonsensical again?)
