if thats all you want otherwise you need to mess about converting stuff
to .gig or .sfz first
It does, yes, but the SFZ format is really quite simple.
Just replying to myself -- after making that claim about SFZ I figured I
should actually verify it myself :) Here's a small, simple SFZ file that
I've created from a single sample, which will hopefully serve as an
example of how to make a basic SFZ file:

It really is quite simple, I think -- I've customised the amplitude
envelope here, but even that is optional. The key points are the "lokey"
and "hikey" parameters, which describe what range of keys the sample
should be mapped to, and the "pitch_keycenter" parameter, which defines
the sample's inherent pitch.
Beyond that, you can expand things with a lot of options, which are
described in the official documentation here:
