<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes, have been using sfz for years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This player supports the 2.0 version of the sfz
format, which later synths which support sfz use, the only complaint about
sforzando is that it doesn't translate sf2 files correctly sometimes, but
considering nothing I know of does a perfect job when going cross platform from
one format to another, that's par for the course.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It is a good tool.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I tend to use the old cakewalk sfz player to handle
sf2 files, and now more and more using the sforzando player to do the later sfz
formats.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And learning the code is like anything else,
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>if you put your mind to it, you can do
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I didn't find it that difficult, and I'm not
exactly a code jockey.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It was meant for reasonably inteligent musicians to
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>handle, and there is plenty of sfz files around to
look at for inspiration and to get an idea of how to get started.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>One thing I am looking for is a complete sfz2
manual for the latest opcodes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have the one for version 1, but nobody seems to
have it all in one place for version 2 unless I've missed
something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But there's a lot of info over on the forum where
sforzando is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I need to get back there and dig around some
more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I found a bunch of sfz files there.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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 play, <BR>but at least it's
in text.<BR>Has anyone here tried it?<BR>Thanks,<BR>Indi<BR>Here's the
download link:<BR><A
