Re: [LAU] sfz convert / tools (findings)

Findings: Sfzer and makesfz.pl are useful tools when you want to create instrument sfz files. They give you an nice starting point. http://sfzer.rubyforge.org/ http://web.archive.org/web/20100317152936/http://www.drealm.info/sfz/ I was able to contact the dev of sfzer and got some help. (dev AT christessmer DOT com) Atm I wasn't able to contact the dev of makesfz.pl Both tools expects that the samples are named in a certain way (C, C# etc.). It seems that this makes these tools less valuable for drum samples without such a naming. For those files I think Lisalo with the -p, --percussive option is your best starting point. https://github.com/nilsgey/lisalo This tools is handy if you want to add velocity values, it works via wine and mono. I didn't find a Linux native alternative yet http://web.archive.org/web/20101122063347/http://drealm.info/sfz/VelLeveler/ Good examples of SFZ files for different instruments would be nice to have at this point. Atm we've the sonatina sfz files and the Salamander sfz, I could use as example. Not sure how sophisticated they are.
