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

Tue Feb 16 21:39:30 EST 2016

I fixed the files. Because initially sforzando did not find anything
even though the folders where right there, someone on bigfish audio
forgot that you bakc up 4 folders instead of 5, so there was an extra
dot dot backslash, and there was a strange symbol after the name of
the samples pack I was using. So now, everything Works like a charm..
too back you can load just one file though. I will look in the sfz
specifications for more of the creative goodness you tak about, when I
got more free time in my hands.
