Hi. I'm trying to use SFZ soundfont player in the my plugin. The problem is that I don't know in that way I can insert SFZ. You teach to make it? I'm using SM 1.0.7. More thanks!
Use SFZ soundfont player in SM.

you should update to the latest 1.1.2 version, but soundfont support has yet to be implemented.

Do you know where i could find the SFZ file format specs?

There is no SFZ or SF2 support in SM yet. You could however build your own SFZ or SF2 loader if you know the fileformat specs. All you need to do is get the SFZ or SF2 file opened inside SM. I've got one solution: turning it to a Hex-text file first -> link. And then translating it to something usefull by the fileformat specs. It's not going to be easy and my advice would be to just forget about it. But if you still insist on doing it, it is possible.

It may be easier to find an SFZ to WAV that will also export the extra SFZ data (loop points, pitch etc) into a text file, both of which are easily read by SM.

I know nothing of SFZ..
And so i had another go at finding the definitions for it. And i scored a very nice tech page about it. It seems SFZ is just a text file for defining how a sample is used. So no wave data inside it at all(tho there is some stuff about a version that would also have the sample data in it. does it exist?) And all parameters are in plain text. This would mean the SFZ format is ideal for SM and can be used even now 😮
Here's a link to Roland/Cakewalk site about the fileformat. http://www.cakewalk.com/DevXchange/sfz.asp
SF2 is a whole different story..

It's a command line app, you would need to run the command prompt.

The command prompt show: "Universal Bin to Hex-text Converter version 0.26 (www.mkdr.net) A simple command line utility for converting any file to HEX-text.
ERROR: Invalid arguments! Use format: bin2hext [inputfile] [outputfile]."
And the application doesn't work. I'm not very good with computers. 😕
THAAAAAAAAAAANKKKKKKKSSSSSSSS!!!

Just write: bin2hext yourfile.dat output.txt change "yourfile.dat" to whatever is the name of the file you want to convert, and "output.txt" to anything you want to name the converted output. It's very simple really..

Nothing. ">desktop\cartel\bin2hext es_brass_OBXABrass1.sf2 es_brass_OBXABrass1.txt Processing Inputfile: es_brass_OBXABrass1.sf2 Error: The file es_brass_OBXABrass1.sf2 can't be read."
😕 😕 😕 😕 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 I'm tried also to convert the .sf2 file to a .dat file and to a .bin file, but the application show the same message. However, matti, thanks!

That's strange. It works here with the same exact command. You either don't have a file called that or there's something preventing you from reading it. I really don't know what that could be...
Try to test it with simpler file names.
