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

[Chris Belle]

if you use the actual sfz player, you'll need a script to work it, over 
on steve's site I wrote one a long time ago in the autohotkey
format and it is a simple executable with a few control from the sfz 
player, and insructions and such are there with it.
If you use sforzando,
you just have to click up in your empty slot with  your screen-reader,
at the top and you get a context menu and you can load sfz files.
Sforzando can be gotten at plogue.com
