thank you all for your input

1: You might want to take a look a SampleRobot. It has a feature called WaveRobot that will find loops automatically. I have never used this software so don't ask me about it. I just read what it does.
2: Sample your material on the F3 tuned to -23cents. This will give you single cycle loops of 256samples. Transposing octaves up or down will give you the relative size (1 down 512samples; 2 up 64samples) of the single cycle.
I hope this helps.
What sampler are use using?
I am not sampling anything actually, I am building a personal sample library from sounds that I have made the last 20 years, most of them evolving atmospheres and SFX. I have quite a few hardware samplers so hopefully it will end up being in AKAI/Roland/Kurrzweil/EMU/Ensoniq format
What I am looking for, is a software that will automatically offer me a few alternative sustaining loops, let me choose / edit the section I want and save it as a Wav along with the sustaining metadata. Nothing fancy really, just some of the early nineties technology.
I havent used waverobot but i will check it out.
Nice tip about sampling, thanks for sharing.

It's strange that Kontakt doesn't do autolooping. Do any of the other soft samplers do it?
Hmm, it seems that Redmatica has been around for over a decade but I never heard of it.
It looks similar to Samplerobot, I will give this a try too.

the s2000 was my first sampler, it had some cool features
