Hi: You may be interested in an alternative text editor written by my good friend Jamal Mazrui. It is called edsharp and may be downloaded freely at http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe He also has a very useful file handling utility called filedir. You can downloadd this at http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/dirsetup.exe When both are installed on your system, you can directly copy filenames into a document, very handy for working with sfz files. Edsharp has very useful shortcuts for selecting blocks of text. It is my go to program when working with sfz files.

I seem to be having a bit of trouble with some SFZ files I've made. I'm trying to make an instrument out of a collection of drum sounds, and here's the problem I'm having. I think I put all the right Opcodes into the file, as I did this with the Wordpad text editor. Is that the right one to work with? Here is the file I'm having trouble with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this message.
