OK, had a bit of a look into this.

Problem seems to occur when processing samples OVER two minutes long.

Solutions:

1 - Use shorter samples! anything under two minutes is fine.
2 - Play the sample from CD instead (3 minutes is a SONG anyway) and process it through the 'audio in' with the FX on.
3 - RESAMPLE. You can resample the long sample with the compressor then you can always play the compressed version with no DSP strain.
4 - Compress the sample on a computer BEFORE loading it into the SP.
5 - try the Master Compressor - it uses a different DSP chip so it may suffer less from a huge sample (as it compresses the SP's output instead of the actual sample).

3 minutes of sample is an unusual situation - the SP is a phrase sampler after all.

Personally, if I needed to play such a long sample, I would play it from CD through the FX..

Hope that helps.
