Trying to get used to Sforzando.

Got most of it figured out, but I have a question that might seem stupid to experts so forgive me.

In most of my samplers, I can drag a sample to a key on the keyboard, such as C1, and narrow the range with a drag function with my mouse so it will only play when I hit that key, and drag another sample to another key, and so forth.

Is there an easy way to do is in Sforzando, or is it only possible by editing the sfz file? Screenshots welcome.

Thanks if you know!!!

Also, in the load function, once you pull it up in a DAW, I can't find a way top "select" a set. I use Aria all the time, so I am confused. If I click "load" it starts to load something willy nilly from Garritan with no further instructions.

I am looking for the button analogous to Aria that will let you search through all your programs (string sections say) and pick what you want.

Having trouble finding that here. Maybe I am blind.

Sforzando is not a sampler - it is merely a sample player (ONLY). So you will need a SF2/SFZ editor or an actual sampler that can save in SF2/SFZ formats to create a new instrument or edit existing SF2/SFZ files to your liking.

Some on this page (and since "we" were slightly admonished the other day: THESE ARE FOR PC)

http://www.synthfont.com/Downloads.html

As to how to get to browse libs and patches in Sforzando see pic.

Remember the standalone free Sforzando player is NOT multi-timbral like the FULL Garritan: ARIA engine/Sforzando player engines are (so no need to try and "load" whole multipart "patch set" or library - one sound at a time)


Hope this helps

Sforzando plays a lot of Dimension pro sounds as well for me, though some do show an error message.

There are a number of editors for the sfz format.

sfZed
sfzDesigner

I haven't used either of these, but I believe there are some examples on YouTube of how to use them.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
