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?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
