sfz sound banks?

[Eino]

I have been playing with another DAW, and it has life like orchestral instruments, and I thought I would try the sound banks in LMMS but it seems it can't find a way to open fsz sound banks.
Any thoughts, or history on this?

No, we don't have any machines who does at this point. To my knowledge Linuxsampler is the only project in the open source world who reads them but they aren't 100% done yet so there may be some functionality missing.

I just tried linuxsampler, they have a long way to go to get a good product. I can make some sounds, but can't get it onto any recording medium, But anyway the sfz files don't even sound the same as with the original software it came from.
I guess fs2 sound banks will have to do for now.

Which version was this? The latest from source?

[Eino]

It's qsampler-0.3.0. using liblspc 0.5.6
received from Debian unstable dev repositories.

If you try it, you could write a review in 'Music' :)

I'm 100% Linux and trying to stay that way, This one is for Mac, and Windows.
I don't even have wine installed, trying to stay 100% Linux on this machine.

The fsz files I have came from, an expensive Digital Work Station running Windows 7. It's on lease from a music shop, and I'm returning it at the end of the month. I studied the software a little, to see if I can utilize some of the working into LMMS.
Seems everything in it is proprietary, and can't be utilized.

Thank's anyway.

Have you tried loading the sfz directly into Carla Patchbay?

Apparently the files can be drag n' dropped from the Carla navigator into the carla canvas, which automatically loads linuxsampler. At least then you can control them through lmms midi

Carla worked, but my fsz banks sound awful. They must be proprietary to the original software.

They actually are.
At least accordingly to their website.It's be nice to have LMMS supporting SFZ and GigaStudio ...
