sjoens Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The famous sf2 soundfont player from RGC used to work in 64 bit Sonar and CbB, but no more on my Win10 system?! You can insert it, but it won't load any sf2 files. The 32bit version in 32bit Sonar still works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 i use the Plogue Art sforzando (sfz) for SF2 etc. it's free, fairly current (last update in 2024) and works great. pretty light weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 No worries, just wondering what may have caused this. I've got several sf2 players, but this one renders sophisticated sounds more faithfully. Some of them can really slaughter a sound beyond recognition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 it's a very old app and 32-bit in a 64-bit world... 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 Kinda like me I guess... BTW, a 64 bit version of SFZ (the one I'm having issue with) was offered thru Sonar Platinum. It worked fine until recently so it may be a Windows 10 update that broke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try converting to .SFZ with the .wav in a subfolder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 (edited) Thanks Patrick, I've done that to many sf2's but there's one that won't convert correctly. It's not a big issue 'cause I can still use 32 bit Sonar when needed. Curious if any other rgc-sfz users have the same issue with 64bit on Windows 10?

Zipped the 2.0 sfz.dll from cakewalk folder and installed the 1.97 32 bits version in my normal VSTi folder and re-scan. In the 1.97 you must avoid SF32 and SF16 modes before loading the .SF2 files. If these modes are selected before, this warning in the 1.97 will appear: with the other modes: Obs: I am on Windows 7.

sjoens Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 (edited) Thanks for checking. The limitation you found works for 32bit sfz+ in CbB, but not for 64bit sfz here on Windows 10. I ran thru all the modes on 64bit sfz but none worked, so it's definitely fouled up somehow. sfz and sfz+ are different synths that both play sf2 soundfonts. 32bit sfz+ actually works in 64bit CbB bridged >>in all but SF modes<<, so I have that option. I also have 32bit sfz+ standalone that works properly in all modes. Edit: Corrections Edited September 17 by sjoens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
