Re: [Linuxsampler-devel] makesfz.sh

[Dan M. <al...@gm...>]

Hi Linux audio users and the LS devs!

I've just updated my little wav-2-sfz sample definition file creation
script who's home is at:

http://bb.linuxsampler.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=667&sid=dc0c0ef3ec00363d761700c0ef41a91f

The new and likely final feature update is that now you have the option of
creating one sfz per wav or creating one sfz that maps all your wavs - I
seem to only ever want to do one or the other when homebrewing simple sfz
files.

I can see I'm going to get a lot of use out of this script now that I've
started to use Linuxsampler/qsampler so I'd like to see this script or
maybe an improved version of it included with future Linux audio distros if
it doesn't get integrated into linuxsampler or qsampler.

Thanks!

Dan

# Running 'makesfz.sh' with no or any other parameter than 1 will create a
.sfz
# file for every wav file in the present dir. mapping the wav to MIDI note
0.
#
# Alternatively, 'makesfz.sh 1' reads all wav files in the current dir and
creates
# a single .sfz named after the present folder mapping each sample to a
MIDI note.
