Hi Linux audio users and the LS devs!

I've just updated my little wav-2-sfz sample definition file creation script who's home is at:

http://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=667&sid=dc0c0ef3ec00363d761700c0ef41a91f

The new and likely final feature update is that now you have the option of creating one sfz per wav or creating one sfz that maps all your wavs - I seem to only ever want to do one or the other when homebrewing simple sfz files.

I can see I'm going to get a lot of use out of this script now that I've started to use Linuxsampler/qsampler so I'd like to see this script or maybe an improved version of it included with future Linux audio distros if it doesn't get integrated into linuxsampler or qsampler.

Thanks!

Dan

Glad tidings I bring the free audio realm for 2012!

After seeming years of guru meditations on this problem, I have
finally come across a method of easily using a folder of wav samples
to create sfz drum kits that can be used with Linuxsampler under
qtractor, A3, OOM or what haveth ye for DAW!!

I came across a perl script that almost sounded like it would do what
I want here http://www.drealm.info/sfz/ but I failed to get that to
work and I don't know perl to fix it yet and nor do I think I'll
bother but I will write a bash script to create a .sfz looking like so
by simply running said script in the folder containing the wav files
for your kit. Hence if you ran makesfz.sh within a dir containing
001-bassdrum.wav and 002-snaredrum.wav we would get the following
output:



<region>
sample=001-bassdrum.wav
key=0
lovel=0 hivel=127

<region>
sample=002-snaredrum.wav
key=1
lovel=0 hivel=127



I do expect someone here will have wrote such a script and added bells
already so may they be so kind as to share it so then we may add it to
the LinuxSampler online resources or get it bundled with the app
itself?

All the best for 2012!
