Hi
I have just noticed that Sforzando wasn't working in my version of Band in A Box, and as far as I can tell it is because I am running Windows XP. Is this correct? Is there any way I can use the Hi Q sounds, and SFZ files in general, with BAIB running on Windows XP?

I notice on the Plogue website (home of sforzando) that the plugin requires Windows 7 or better. It's listed at the below link under "Requirements". https://www.plogue.com/products/sforzando.htmlIf sforzando is not installed, BIAB should default to the the installed softsynth that comes with it. I'm guessing that your Windows XP is 32-bit. If so, and if I recall correctly, SFZ+ player should let you play PG Music's HiQ sfz sounds. http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/sfzplus/On my Windows 7 system, the PG Music HiQ sounds are found under... C:\Program Files\PG Music Inc\Band-in-a-Box Sounds\Programs I'd imagine that they are installed in a similar location on your computer. SFZ+ could be loaded as a VST for a MIDI Supertrack and then they HiQ sfz soundfont could be loaded into SFZ+ Hopefully some of these thoughts are useful for you. Regards, Noel

Thanks Noel,
I will give that a try. My Windows XP is 32 bit, yes.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks

It seems SFZ+ is no longer available. Cakewalk seem to have closed down. Can anyone recommend another sound font player that will work with XP?

Since SFZ+ was offered for free, I'm hoping it's okay to offer it, so here is a copy of it from my computer (I couldn't find my original installation files, so this is just from my VST folder on my computer). It should work, but I can't guarantee it. There are no sounds, just the standalone executable and the DLL to load as a VSTi. Remember, SFZ+ is not a multi-timbral synth, so you have to load a new instance in a different slot on each track you are using, and then assign the SFZ or SF2 instrument you want from within SFZ+.

Thanks guys.
I downloaded both of these options and tried them, but I haven't had any luck with either. The Soundfont Midi player isn't a VST, so it can't be opened from within BIAB.
SFZ+ I can get to open within BAIB, but when I load a Hi Q instrument, or any other SFZ file, it appears to load up but produces no sound.

Hi,
I see this is an old thread, just found it occasionally and it seems to be unsolved.
On XP sforzando v1.9333, which comes with the newer BiaBs, doesn´t install, because it is not compatible to xp. But the older sforzando v1.901 works and it plays the Hi Q sounds without problems.
I have it, just pn.

Thanks, that's good to know. Also v1.901 would need to be installed manually from C:\bb\data\installers. The Band-in-a-Box installer itself will only install the latest version.
