[Rwp] importing samples and playing them on a keyboard as an instrument

[Chris Belle]

This is exactly what the sfz format is so great at,
You can get sforzando at plogue.com.
This email is not the place to teach you the sfz  but I do private 
tutoring if you really want to get in to it.
Essentially, it is so good for us blindy's because there is no complex 
GUI, you make your sfz with a text file and you can have unlimited 
layers, and key switching, and filters, and all sorts of groovy sampler 
stuff, I have crafted lots of drumkits, and keyed instruments, it has 
round robin and sequenced sample playback, and random generators, and 
all the things you'd want in a samper.
And because it's a text file, it's 100 percent accessible.
As a matter of fact, dimension pro and rapture and the like are based on 
the sfz format.
These are made by cakewalk, but they can be used in other DAW's.
The interfaces of these instruments are more complex though, you can 
stil control a lot at the sfz level, but the simple sfz player and the 
better sforzando
I mentioned are your ticket to easy sampled playback.
Just to give a quick example of what a sfz file would look like,
//snip
//kick
<group>
loop_mode=one_shot
<region>
sample=kick1.wav
key=35
<region>
sample=kick2.wav
key=36
//end

There you go I just expressed two kick samples and told them to play on 
b and c.
