Re: Sonatina - joining the soundfonts together?

There are some useful links about SFZ and some SFZ soundfonts:

http://freepats.zenvoid.org/Piano/

http://www.camelaudio.com/SFZ-Player-Editor-Definition-Samples.php

The Salamander seems to be a good sfz Piano soundfont

I tried sonatina but this is probably better for classical or any style, btw my classical guitar sounds added today on patch 25 :) . I hope you like. Only 280 mb uncompressed. Enjoy:

I really hope VirtualMIDISynth will support SFZ one day... It's kind of the spiritual successor to .sf2, really. It has some features that are impossible to realise with the old Soundfont format, like round-robin (makes a HUGE difference), 24bit samples, and more. I think it would maximize for potential of VirtualMIDISynth because then you could have your MID files played back (or old games with MIDI music) with even more realistic samples...

What's also cool is that Soundfonts are pretty easy to convert to sfz. For instance Polyphone (http://www.polyphone.fr/) can simply export any Soundfont to sfz. Then you could load them up in "SFZ Designer" and add round robin layers, that would be especially make sence for drums of course, but also every instrument in general.

sfz is already supported in Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth 2.0 Alpha 20 and later (current alpha22) which are develoopment versions. VirtualMIDISynth 1.x still has no official sfz support yet despite bass libraries already support sfz since 2014. I wonder if the next 1.x version (1.14.2 or 1.15.0) will get sfz support

Thanks for clarifying that, I can't wait for the 2.0 version. :)

I somehow missed this simple addition :(
Here you are, version 1.15.0 has just been released with .SFZ support.
