Version 1.0.2 of my sfz2multisample converter is out!

This version supports the default path attribute and uses a string tokenizer for parsing which improves the stability a lot.

Huge thanks for qptain-Nemo for all the testing-/debugging-/analyzing-sessions

I made some minor modifications to my sfz2multisample converter to improve it's stability if a section starts with a comment.

I have a lot of sfz samples on my harddisk but unfortunately the only sample format the internal sampler from bitwig studio can use is the built in multisample format. I played a bit with the fileformat and found that it´s a zip-container with all the wav-files and a xml file that describes how to map the samples to keyboard regions. Thats very similar to the structure of a sfz sample so I wrote a simple converter script in java that can be used to convert sfz to multisamples.

The program is far from perfect and I consider it more as a prototype than a final program - so be warned. I also haven´t implemented more advanced features like velocity zones or groups yet.

You can download the sourcecode from my github repository at

https://github.com/ngradwohl/bitwig_scripts/tree/master/sfz2multisample

or a compiled version here: Sfz2Multisample-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

to use it open a terminal and start the program with the filename of the sfz file as a parameter

java -jar Sfz2Multisample-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar sfzfilename.sfz

the program then creates a multisample with the same name.

UPDATE:

I made a new version of the sfz2multisample tool! see the new SFZ2Multisample Project Page for more info
