With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Windows, we added support for the popular .SFZ sound format!

There's a detailed explanation of this new feature here: www.pgmusic.com/bbw2017newfeatures2.htm

Have you been using this new feature? Let us know what you think!

Have we ever! I can't speak for the rest of the bunch, but just revisiting all the old MIDI .sty sets alone has been a real rediscovery with this easy acces to pristine sound sources. It's brought a whole new life to those old styles cool

It's easily one one of the most significant addition to BBox in years - and I have a 'nagging' suspicion I've said that before! wink

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

It'd be nice if it came with a GM sound set. Just sayin'
That would likely make it a more used feature in BiaB.

It's nice in RB ..

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I have used the .sfz format for a LONG time, and even created5 drum kits out of free samples found on the net in the format. Dimension Pro / Cakewalk turned me on to it, and it, along with the Soundfont format was my go to VSTi Instruments for a LONG time!

As for using it in the PGMusic programs, nope, not yet this year....but soon.

And rharv, let me check a few DVD;s I have here, I know I have a few GM sets in the SF format, so MAYBE I have one or two in the SFZ format....

Don't forget that sforzando can load SF2s so maybe a SF2 GM set loaded into sforzando will work for you.

I have used this sforzando SFZ a lot since it came. Love it. The BiaB's soundfonts sounds good, just wish it was more of them ! I made a tread in the wishlist forum about that...
http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=424910&gonew=1#UNREAD

If we could be provided with a steady stream of new soundfont's,made from the RT's, that would be great. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make a new exchange forum here for User made Soundfonts?

One can take a short RT or other audio sample and convert it to SFZ according to this documentation:

Callie,

With the help of forum member Pipeline, I finally have a resul with sforzando.

I use the Hi-Q 0401 flute to play the melody of the jazz ballad «I Remember Clifford», and though the flute sounds quite realistic, it is somewhat out of tune.

This sound especially bad when I add the Crooner Big Band as a background.

1) Is there something I can do about this? I have given BiaB a high priority as a program!

2) Are there other realistic (and jazzy) sounding sforzando plugins like e.g. trumpet, trombone and saxophones, that I can download somewhere?

Brgds,
Tonnie

Hi Tonnie,

Are you referring to Hi-Q 074 01? I just tried it with my melody and it's definitely playing in tune.

If you send the song file to support@pgmusic.com, along with a description of the issue, we'll be happy to help you figure out what's going wrong.

Sforzando can load any soundfont in SFZ or SF2 format, which are available from numerous websites.

Thank you
Kent

Tonnie,

I wonder if maybe this is related to the old "midi is out of tune when played against audio" problem that used to arise as a consequence of soundcards being set to 48 kHz (48,000 Hz).

I recall seeing this problem on the forum for quite a while. It was due to the fact that if the audio card was set to 48kHz, audio would be played using this setting whereas MIDI would be played using 44.1kHz. The net result was that audio and MIDI sounded out of tune when played with one another. Since the flute is MIDI driven, and the Crooner Big Band is audio, this might be what's causing the conflict.

To check this, have a look at the image below and follow the numbers. Ultimately it's the "allow application to take control" (#5) option that needs activating. This is a Windows setting and not a BIAB one.

See if this helps.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks Noel!

I did just what you described, however it does not change the flute from being out of tune (it is low).

Moreover I do not use my speakers, but a Roland SD-50 Mobile Studio Canvas, which otherwise is completely in tune.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Tonnie

Are other sounds out of tune or is it just the flute?

Also, as an experiment, save the individual tracks as WAV files and then load them into a DAW and see what happens when they're played in the DAW. This will...

(a) allow you to check the specifications of the saved file to see if anything is amiss

(b) allow you to test if the problem is exclusive to BIAB or is a more general problem.

Lastly, for the course of this experiment, it would be a good idea to disconnect the SD 50 and run BIAB through the internal speakers.

I've always found that when trying to zoom in on a problem, it's always much better to reduce the number of system variables to the absolute minimum.
