Hi, 

In extreme sample converter, do I necessarily choose a format type that applies 
to the format I am converting from  in the source format menu, or is it
good enough to keep it on all audio formats.* at the bottom of the menu? Or is 
it for something ells?

Hello:

Take the .wav format, don't worry about the ogg for now.

Gord,

When I downloaded extreme sample converter, some how I converted a file in to 
sf2. After you suggested me to do sfz in stead of sf2, I could not managed
in the softwhere. Could you please tell me how to do that?

I think I have to do something in the source and destination menus but could 
not figure out what.

In the source menu, I choose FXB and in the destination menu sfz. But in sfz 
sub menu there are many things that I do not know which one to select. 

Thanks

Hello:

You would be better off converting into the sfz format rather than sf2, since 
sfz is the native format for the sfz player and you'll be able to edit the
sfz files if you need to.  Once you've inserted the sfz player into your 
project and you have the properties window up, and (assuming you are using CT),
press f4, then enter to bring up the program options dialog, then tab to load 
program and press enter.  There you'll be in a standard windows open dialog. 
Just browse to where you have your sfz file and press enter.

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.

Hello:

I would suggest that you purchase a program called extreme sample converter.  
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.

Dear Gord, 

Would you be so kind as to tell me how I am going to open and use these FXB 
files to use in Sonar?

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

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.

    Hi all,

How can I open FXB files in SFZ? I have some sounds in fxb format. 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
