<pre wrap="">Hi, What did you use to edit the .sfz format?

<pre wrap="">I made most of it with and editor called sfzed
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://audio.clockbeat.com/sfZed.html">http://audio.clockbeat.com/sfZed.html</a>) It's for windows but runs
flawlessly in wine.

I imagined there wasn't anything native for linux, thank you for the
answer.

I read that it's just text, so it should be doable. I just looked at
SalamanderGrandPiano.sfz and it doesn't look very arcane, just a bunch
of c/p and editing work.

This is good, thank you, I found the format definition at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cakewalk.com/devxchange/sfz.asp">http://www.cakewalk.com/devxchange/sfz.asp</a>
Considering that text editing powered by scripts and regexp
could be much faster of gigedit interface, I have definetly to look at
it.

Gigedit is quite good as long as you're careful when using the "apply
to all regions" and "apply to dimension splits" check boxes. It's
however not fast when adding samples and regions and dimension as there
is no copy/paste. I originally was gonna use giga too but at one point
the editor started to behave really odd. There was some unexplainable
issue with regions only "seeing" one release velocity layer. Also, I
now have two separate release samples, harmonic string resonance and
the hammer action. The harmonic releases also comes in 3 different
layers, 2 veolocity layers that have a high rt_decay value ("The volume
decay amount when the region is set to play in <strong>release</strong>
trigger mode, in decibels per second since note-on message.") and one
that has a low rt_decay value, this is not doable with giga. As far as
I know you can't even have 2 separate release samples so you would have
to mix the hammer noise and harmonic releases samples down into one
sample.<br>
<br>
For making sfz files there is also a ruby script called "sfzer" I have
not tried this tho and I expect you can't make very advanced
instruments with it.<br>
<br>
We should put some pressure on the linuxsampler folks to do a new
release ;) with on_locc# and on_hicc# opcodes implemented. (those would
give pedal noise)<br>
