I am wondering whether there is a simple way to use the sound of a vst instrument to create a sf2 file? Some vst's still show kind of instability, so the idea is to quickly catch the sould I like for later 'stable' usage as sf2. Any ideas?

no :p

Why not just export them to wave files and use as samples?

Depending on how much of a nerd you are, this might work, if you're on Linux:
First sample the VST with Synthclone: http://code.google.com/p/synthclone/ (too bad it doesn't output sf2 and LMMS doesn't play sfz)
Then assemble your sf2 with LJ's tools: http://learjeff.net/sf/jSfTools.html

I am neither 'much of a nerd' nor on Linux, but thank you for your suggestion!

Next version of LMMS should have the menu option: 'save current sound as sf2'!
