maybe there are. you always have as last resort to edit one as
plain text, taking care to obey to syntax and semantic rules (ok,
sorry, this is just me thinking out loud, because i know this much
about the .sfz spec:)
and yes, there's a linuxsampler mailing-list and also a forum. also
#linuxsampler on irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net> . i
believe most of your worries are best answered by the sfz engine's
author(s) hanging out there ;)
I think I vaguely remember someone posting a script to create sfz files
to this list but maybe that was to create Hydrogen files? Once I have
got a working sfz (I should've just downloaded a free one instead of
trying to make one myself first really) then it'd be easy enough for me
to write a script to automate the creation of sfzs but I'd still prefer
to see such functionality integrated into qsampler, gsampler or fantasia
- my philosophy being that if we want to stand a good chance of
attracting non-unix geeks to Linux audio then all common tasks should
be achievable without any scripting or cli voodoo.
as you might infer from my replies, having a stand-alone application to
edit, create and possibly also play a specific sampler file format is
the way to go.
qsampler (probably the other siblings too) have a hook to the gigedit
editor. yes it's a .gig file editor (no .sfz i'm afraid) and last time
i've checked there was a big "edit" button on each sampler channel strip
for just that.
all that to say, once a genuine sfz editor becomes available it won't be
much of a trouble for you to ask and integrate it into the
linuxsampler/qsampler workflow.
how about joining the gigedit project? adding support for .sfz might be
interesting if not the answer for your questions ;)
cheers
