As above you can turn a wave file into an acidized sound file (groove clip) as above. The corner edges will then be blunt, and you can roll your drum loop out as many iterations as you need. It will stay in pitch if you change the tempo, or you can change the pitch and keep the tempo, which is great for bass lines and rhythm stuff. Wave files, of course will change pitch w/ tempo and visa versa.
And SFZ file is a text file that organizes wave and other sound files for synthesizers and soft samplers. It does the mapping, so your middle C sample goes there and is "stretched" above and below the note to the next sample split, and other sampler functions. It can produce envelopes and LFOs etc. in addition to those in the sampler/synth that is using the SFZ instructions. The SFZ file usually is included in the folder w/ the sounds. Besides the Cake synths, Alchemy and NI Kontakt use SFZ. See PatchArena.com for a good reference source.
Recycle REX files are different again. I'll let someone else take a stab.
And I don't know nothing about TX16 W - ain't it the new kid on the block, sampler-wise? So I'll let someone else take that one. But if it works with sfz, it should map and effect the sample(s) for you, so you could have a nice tempered scale of a keyboard, a cello mapped to the appropriate notes, or different drums samples spread across the keyboard in the standard drum template so you can play them via midi, or different loops.
That's the great thing about modern music tools - there is Shakespeare monkey's number of tools to play with.
