Hi Gord, I downloaded the demo version of extreme sample converter. And I think I managed to convert one of my FXB files into SF2. If I do not get in to big troubles with this program I will buy it soon. By the way, do you use it yourself? Now, Could you give me some suggestions and tricks to get around in SFZ to begin and use the sounds in Sonar tracks? I already took a look to the SFZ related section in the Sonar 6 tutorial. Thanks allot.

It is quite accessible and will convert many sample formats to any other format, including sfz, and it does list haylian fxb as one of the compatible formats. I don't have any fxb files to try myself, but it is there. In many cases, you will need to tweak things in sfz after you convert them, so I would get familiar with the sfz text format. I think the program costs around $75 or so, but it is well worth it in my oppinion. Gord ----- Original Message ----- From: A.

Every single FXB file is in a folder with many other files with the extension of WAV. I think because they are recorded real instruments. And I think these FXB files are the combination of that WAV files. I hope I am able to explain what I am dealing with. If not please tell me I will try to make it clearer. These technical things are not so easy to describe. If you do not mind, I like to sent you one of the Files I have been trying to open, in case when you see the folder you may come up with an idea and we can save some times. It has 11 WAV and 1 FXB file. I am not sure, if I only sent the FXB file without the WAV files it would work or not. Tell me what you think. Thanks allot for your help Caglar ----- Original Message ----- From: Gordon Kent To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 8:20 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: SFZ Hello: Fxb is not a sound format. It is a vst format for saving banks of patches for any given vst plug-in. Your fxb files are proprietory for whatever plug-in they were created on. Gord ----- Original Message ----- From: A.

I am able to see the fxb files in SFZ but when I attempt to lode them I hear nothing. Unlike that, WAV files are no problem to open and lode them in to sonar and play on my keyboard. Thanks Caglar
