Perhaps Emagic improved this with 6.2, the last PC AFAIK. Maybe not.

The problem with loops in a SF2 is that there a loop points in the 
sample chunk where it's normal to find them. But there are also can 
be loop point modifiers in the Zone chunks. Plus the loop on-off is 
entirely in the Zone chunks - the sample chunk just shows the loop 
points but does not specify on-off.

It's been known to happen, low-quality convertors that go no further 
then to check the sample chunk and either assume loop on or off and 
take the loop points as-is.

You can either re-loop each sample, or use Translator (disclaimer: 
the company I work for) www.chickensys.com and that converts the loop 
points and on-off correctly.
