Yep, me too! I used the old sample a lot back in my NE3 days, but haven't used it much once the newer samples were added. But now I've started to use it quite a lot again

What do you think about the Nefertiti with the new Filters? I think it also sounds bettter than before but still the sustain lacks something or is it just me...?

You mean you'd like longer loops on the EP8? I normally play EPs with a few effects (e.g. a-pan/trem and chorus) so I never listen to the sustaining parts raw. Besides, when I play long chords on EP, it's usually because something else needs focus in the music, so I've never been bothered by the looping -- and am not even sure I fully grasp the what you lack?
So maybe differences in use of effects and playing styles makes the issue (if there) more or less exposed?
Anyway, I'll try to have an eye out for it (or an ear, whatever).
Yes, that‘s exactly what i mean: Longer loops or better no loops at all to get a real natural sustain. To my ears the Nefertiti has very short sustain loop compared to the other Rhodes samples. To play one chord and let it stand for a long time is an important part of the „magic“ of the Fender Rhodes, i think.
