MercenaryToaster 0 Posted January 20 I just got cakewalk, and I wanted to use some of my soundfounts, but I can't figure out how to make them into a track, is there a soundfount player i should use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abacab 5,423 Posted January 20 Just keep it simple, and start with sforzando! 😉 I find that I need to open the TX16WX manual EVERY time I attempt to use it. It's probably the best all-around free sampler, but a bit of overkill for playing a sound font. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MercenaryToaster 0 Posted January 30 the SFZ player can also do SF2s right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gnips 39 Posted January 30 The most simple to use I think is BassMidi, https://www.kvraudio.com/product/bassmidi-vsti-by-falcosoft A multitimbral sf2 player, works much like sfz and Juicysfplugin, https://github.com/Birch-san/juicysfplugin Not multitimbral (not tested v 3.0 yet).

(sfz+ no longer available) https://www.kvraudio.com/product/sfzand_by_cakewalk The "sfz" player loads .sfz files, such as those used by sforzando, and Cakewalk's .sfz based instruments like Dimension Pro and others. The sforzando player can load a .sf2 file and convert it to .sfz, but some have mentioned that it's not always an exact result. The file formats are different, as .sfz is strictly a text file, that maps to external sample files, where .sf2 soundfonts included the samples within the .sf2 formatted file.
