I'll have to take another look at that program seems like I remember layers and splits and such which would emply you could create an instrument, but the name of the program would indicate that it's a converter.
But once you imported an instrument, you could probably add new or different samples to it.
so maybe you could start with one of those as a template.I always right click all over the place on these types of programs to see what menus come up and such, but bet lots of the stuff in here if you want to gete really deep is graphical.

I get a message saying "sample to patch conversion isn't supported yet" or something similar.my source format is set to wav , and I can play and select all the waves. destination is set to either sf2 or sfz. is there some intermediate step? thanks a bunch Roy. http://elephant-dolphin.bandcamp.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Belle" <cb1963@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <realmusicians@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 4:30 AM Subject: [realmusicians] Re: Extreme Sample converterI've used an older copy of it for a while now, and if the interface hasn't changed, you just pick a source format, and a destination format.Beware, if your trying to convert soundfonts to sfz's, the opcodes for off values won't translate properly so you have to fix some of that by hand, seems like anything that does conversion always has some sort of issues.But for the most part, it does pretty well, for the single stuff I've used it for, mostly converting soundfonts to sfz's.The thing is, even though sf2 is an oldie moldy format, it still has some advantages, namely multi-tembral operation.There's just those times you want to load up a great gm font and just start jamming, and you can't do that with sfz.You can specify opcodes to exclude by midi channel, and put different sounds on each one, but not the same way of switching banks and such.And there are apparently issues with 64 bit and sf2 playback with the sfz player, too bad, because I really don't feel like conveting my hundreds of sf2 files, but a few I have converted and tweaked, and it's nice to have them in such an accessible format like sfz were you can really get a the parameters, and tweak.so what are you trying to convert to what?
