[LAU] Auto sampler version 2.0 (automatic SFZ creation)

[david]

Hmm, that sounds interesting. I have three synthesizer keyboards here. 
All of them have at least the common GM set. (They're all Yamahas, so 
they have Yamaha's varying ideas of extra sounds.) But in the GM set, 
the cheapest Yamaha has versions of some of the GM sounds that I like a 
lot better than the equivalents in the other keyboards. The ones on 
other keyboards just don't sound the same!

Since I only have enough physical space to have one keyboard set up at a 
time, it would be nice to turn my preferred GM sounds into SFZ's I could 
use when a different keyboard is the one set up.

Thanks, Jeannie! You're a genie. May all your wishes come true! :)

By the way, after we bought a bigger TV, we had to replace our old 
entertainment center (new TV too big). The TV credenza we bought is 
quite sturdy, stands about 33" high and is 58" wide. It's only two 
inches lower than the bookcase assembly my keyboard stands on right now. 
So maybe time to buy another one of these...
