SFZ soundfont generator

SFZ Generator is a simple bash script to generate basics sfz soundfonts libraries.

Usage

./generate_sfz.sh /path/to/samples/dir/ file.sfz

'file.sfz' file will be placed in '/path/to/samples/dir/' folder to avoid relative path errors.

Configuration

SFZ Generator configuration is based on files names. Each file contains its own parameters.

Basic parameters

If your file is named /dir/HiHat__lokey:62__hikey:64__pitch_keycenter:63.wav :

• lokey:62 will surcharge 'lokey' value in templates/group.txt to generate output sfz.
• hikey:64 will surcharge 'hikey' value in templates/group.txt to generate output sfz.

Each parameters in group.txt can be overridden by this. Each value must be separated by "__" (two '_') in file name.

Special parameters

• K: : Note key. It can be a MIDI number (like '60') or a note (like 'C#3'). It will set 'lokey', 'hikey' and 'pitch_keycenter' values.
• K:- : Note range. It will set 'lokey' and 'hikey' values. If it is used for files, 'pitch_keycenter' must be setted ('__pitch_keycenter:<note>')
