Hi Robbert, I've experienced a similar issue. To play a single wav
file on a musical scale, you can load it up in dimention Pro. To map
multiple audio samples to keys on your keyboard, you need to load them
into the SFZ multisampler. The easiest way to do this with as little
understanding and hastle as possible is as follows. Take all the wave
files you want to use, put them into a folder you make exclusively for
the purpose. Now, I'm going to give you a script that you need to copy
paste exactly from this email into a blank notepad file. Rename it to
have a .vbs extention, then put that new vbs file into the folder
where your wave files are stored. Hit enter on the vbs file once
you've pasted it into that folder, and it will output a sfz file. Load
up an SFZ track in sonar, and load your new SFZ file into it. Voila!
You now have a basic multi sample setup. You can of course add a lot
more to the SFZ file with regard to other settings to change how the
samples sound and so on, but I'll leave it up to you to do that
reading :) Oh, by the way, don't move the sample wave files from your
dedicated sample folder if you want your sfz file to continue working.
Here's the script:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 Set folder = fso.GetFolder(".")
 Set files = folder.Files

 Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile( folder & "\new.sfz" , True )
 keyCounter = 36

 for each objFile in files
    sName = objFile.Name
    if StrComp(Right(sName, 4), ".wav", 1) = 0 then
       outFile.WriteLine("<region> sample=" & sName & " key=" & keyCounter)
       keyCounter = keyCounter + 1
    end if
 next

 outFile.Close
 set files = nothing
 set folder = nothing
 set fsoFolder = nothing

End of script. HTH
