<DIV><BR></DIV>This plugin never claimed to support sound fonts anyway. But,

Some folks seem to be using the free Sforzando SFZ player, which
seems<BR>> to be able to play not only single-sound
SFZ files, but multi-samples,<BR>> like drum
kits.<BR>> The website says it will play any
acidized .wav files you drop onto it.<BR>> I think
you can set keyboard zones per sound, so how is Sforzando not
a<BR>> sample
player?<BR>> It may not be so easy to use the SFZ
code to configure how samples<BR>>
play,<BR>> but at least it's in
text.<BR>> Has anyone here tried
it?<BR>> Thanks,<BR>>
