SFZ sampler problems... looking for help!

Postby Casper78oo » Thu Mar 07, 2024 9:44 pm

I am trying to make a SFZ sampler in FLOWSTONE.. I have downloaded examples - none of them will load my .SFZ files. I am not sure what the problem is : either my .SFZ files are not formatted properly for FLOWSTONE or it is something else. What i do know is that my .SFZ files do work and are totally functional on other .SFZ plugins that are not made in FLOSTONE. I have attached 3 different versions of a .SFZ sampler / player - all 3 were downloaded from the FLOWSTONE forums as examples. Inside each .FSM is a .SFZ file as a comment note. Can someone please check out the attached SFZ modules and tell me what the problem is. All help is appreciated. I am hopeing to get one of these attached SFZ samplers to work so I can move on with my project. - Casper

This is the sentence, why I answer although I am not very familiar with the sfz format. My first guess would be, that the sfz file contains opcodes unknown to Flowstone's sfz component. It will still read the file and will give no warning, as it is a valid sfz file. But it can lead to the files not working, because of the missing opcodes. According to the reference, these are the supported opcodes:

    group
    sample
    lochan
    hichan
    lokey
    hikey
    key
    pitch_keycenter
    pitch_keytrack
    effect1
    effect2
    lovel
    hivel
    transpose
    tune
    ampeg_delay
    ampeg_attack
    ampeg_hold
    ampeg_decay
    ampeg_sustain
    ampeg_release
    fileg_delay
    fileg_attack
    fileg_hold
    fileg_decay
    fileg_sustain
    fileg_release
    fileg_depth
    fillfo_delay
    fillfo_freq
    fillfo_depth
    amplfo_delay
    amplfo_freq
    amplfo_depth
    loop_mode
    Loop_start
    loop_end
    volume
    pan
    cutoff
    resonance

How many of them are actually used in the schematics is yet another question.

My SFZ file is very basic using only few nessasary OP CODES. My .SFZ file is in the .FSM attached (comment note) and the next 2 coming. I am yes thinking the FLOWSTONE requires something different to the SFZ codes, however like I said the .SFZ I am using does fully function in other SFZ plugins so I cannot figure it out.

Maybe if someone has a .SFZ file that is working in FLOWSTONE they could please attach the .SFZ and I could just cross-reference to see myself - the differences in formatting.

Any FLOWSTONE working .SFZ file would be greatly appreciated.

The 3rd SFZ sampler made with FLOWSTONE.

Yet again, I cannot get any of these SFZ samplers to properly load my SFZ files.....

I make all myi own samples and sfzs as well as sf2s.
I had the same problem in the beginning.
It is the coding that Flowstone Sampler wants.

'Custom Designed' SFZs
Download Link:
https://www.invntefx.com/ssl/_invntefxf ... wesfzs.zip

These work fine with your schematics so tear some of my sfzs apart
to 'bend' and use the code with your own wav samples.
Also add the 'Clear Audio'' prim (w/trigger addon) to schematics to stop annoying key on freeze.

KEEP IT SIMPLE AND IT WONT EAT CPU!

Example Filename: 1 Grand Piano F4.sfz
----------
<group>
lovel=0
hivel=127
ampeg_release=1
<region>
sample=1 Grand Piano F4.wav
loop_mode=loop_continuous
pitch_keycenter=65
----------

P.S. Also check my sampler stuff out here I'm "pwesynthmaker"
Mostly in the User Examples Forum.
