Hi: I think it only converts sound fonts. You would need to get extreme sample converter or awave to do what you want.

With all of the discussion on the SFZ format, thought you would be interested in this. I have personally used this to convert Soundfonts to the SFZ format. It's totally accessable too and best of all, it's free!! sfZed is an editor for the sfz format, the format for the sfz SoundFont Player and for CakeWalk Dimension instruments. The editor works with audio samples to map them to the keyboard, and shape them to create the sound you want. It uses the sfz sample player vsti plugin to audition the results, the synth technology which the sfz format was based on with full polyphony. It will also convert Soundfont sf2 to sfz, giving you the opportunity to change and fix the way the it plays back. The sfz format contains over 200 settings like velocity sensitivity, loops, reverb, EQ and controller settings to create the sound you want for your music. sfZed works with a midi keyboard to allow you to play and set values, including mapping drum samples.
