If you want it to stop playing as soon as you release the key - in the Fruity sampler, go to the "Ins" tab, select "Vol", turn the envelope on and set the "Rel" value to zero. Higher Rel values will make the note last longer and longer after release, and at Rel=127 (hard right), the sample will play all the way to the end. HTH, G.
