Soundfonts & SFZ

5. The samplers of today are nothing like the samplers of years before. Largely, gone are the days of hardware samplers that can play chromatically & polyphonically using real multisamples that include seamless loop points, & cross fading. Samplers that can still do that are almost exclusively found in software plugins. I’ve found only a couple of exceptions.

Sf2 & SFZ are excellent choices!

Soundfonts & SFZ

3. Both formats support the ability to be modulated through Midi CC — in real time & through automation. If built into the patch, they can be far more expressive than simple midi keynote on/off.

4. Unlike encrypted formats, the samples themselves are accessible in both formats. Yes, Sf2 is monolithic, but Polyphone, ConvertWithMoss, and others can easily pull them out.

I often see posts by people who look down upon Soundfonts and SFZ. Here’s some food for thought for these legendary underdogs:

1. Both Soundfonts (sf2) and SFZ are open formats with many open (as well as commercial) tools and plugins. As old as they both are, they are not going extinct.

2. Both support high quality. Sf2 supports up to 24 bit 48khz, and SFZ supports everything.

Set Side B · Sundry Sunday: Tourists Happen Upon Street Fighter II Battles

I'm toying with the idea of using GM moves from #pbta (probably from the Dungeon World list, don't know how much they vary across games, there are at last count four hundred and eleven PbtA games) for roll failures in my #starfinder #sf2 / #pathfinder games - on the basis that rolls reflect fate and circumstances, and a "failure" isn't necessarily "you failed to do a thing" but more "your intended result did not come to pass".

A thought experiment really. I won't be able to remember the list.

STARFINDER 2E PLAYTEST - The RPGBOT.Preview - RPGBOT.Podcast S4E96

In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we preview the Starfinder second edition playtest and the promise of the Starfinder setting. We also discuss the interactive nature of the playtest and the opportunity for players to shape the game before the release of Starfinder 2.

@music
Can you recommend good piano .sf2 that sounds like dancepiano2k7? I use LMMS and I don't use FL Studio(because it is non-free), but LMMS doesn't have piano synths and all .sf2 pianos that I have found don't sound like real piano and my(acoustic) piano doesn't sound very good(I think I need to tune it).
