Well, it depends on what you mean by a sampler. Basically you can load samples of any .wav or ogg file into sfz if you just want one sound through the whole keyboard. If you want to set up key and velocity zones, control envelopes, assign controllers as modulators, etc. you'll need to write up a sample definition which is a text file. YOu can learn everything you need to know about the sfz format by going to www.rgcaudio.com Gord ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 5:39 PM Subject: [ddots-l] SFZ sampler Hello: Can the sfz sampling function in sonar 5 also be used as a sampler, or is it only for loading already existing samples?
