      event lod 20 modifiers
        folder { base path }
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
        folder { base path , in case files have different location}
          {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)
          {sample name} ...
      end

Or...
