[Rwp] SFZ Players

[Bryan Smart]

Sorry. It works here, too. I've tried over half a dozen SFZ/SF2 players, and I get their drawbacks confused, after a time.

In Sforzando, clicking on the preset name, usually "empty", lets me pick another file to load. Would be great if there was a hot key for this, but I can deal.

A friend on Twitter was remarking he couldn't always see the "empty" text, but I'm probably having luck with it, as I have all my plug-ins load in dedicated processes. Had to do that for the Kontakt AHK, so just leave it like that.

Only thing now is that I wish I had a good SFZ format reference. There is the one online for SFZ 1.0, but the 2.0 format isn't online anywhere. Apparently, Cakewalk has copyrighted the spec, only publishes it in a book, and has people pull it down if they post it. The book, "Cakewalk Synthesizers: From Presets to Power User" isn't available in any electronic formats that I've discovered, so far.
