Features that are unique to sfz will be lost in the conversion process.\n\n## Usage\nSimple usage, convert file.sfz into file.multisample:\n```shell\npython sfz2bitwig.py file.sfz\n```\n\nMultiple files can be converted at once:\n```shell\npython sfz2bitwig.py file.sfz file2.sfz ...\npython sfz2bitwig.py *.sfz\n```\n\nMetadata of the created multisample can be set through commandline arguments:\n```shell\npython sfz2bitwig.py --category Strings --creator bob --keywords acoustic warm orchestral --description 'multisample description' *.sfz\n```\n\nBy default, sfz2bitwig will scan for and extract embedded loop points from wav samples. To disable this (faster conversions) use the --noloop option.\n```shell\npython sfz2bitwig.py --noloop file.sfz\n```\n\n\n## Thanks\n* [SpotlightKid](https://github.com/SpotlightKid) for [sfzparser code](https://github.com/SpotlightKid/sfzparser)\n* [Joseph Basquin](https://github.com/josephernest), for [wav loop point extraction code](https://gist.github.com/josephernest/3f22c5ed5dabf1815f16efa8fa53d476)\n\n## Tested SFZ files\n\n### No issues\n[VS Chamber Orchestra: Community Edition](https://github.com/sgossner/VSCO-2-CE)\n\n[SFZ FLukelele Sampled Ukelele: Community Edition](http://patcharena.com/sfz-flukelele-sampled-ukelele-sfz-format/)\n\n[PatchArena Free Casio CK-10 Sample Pack](http://patcharena.com/free-casio-ck-10-sample-pack/)\n\n[Warm Strings SFZ](http://patcharena.com/downloads/comment.php?dlid=1247)\n\n[Double Bass Pizz](http://patcharena.com/downloads/comment.php?dlid=1256)\n\n[City Piano](http://bigcatinstruments.blogspot.com/2015/09/all-keyboard-instruments.html)\n\n[Iowa Piano](http://bigcatinstruments.blogspot.com/2015/09/all-keyboard-instruments.html)\n\n[Open Source Drum Kit Project](http://download.linuxaudio.org/musical-instrument-libraries/sfz/the_open_source_drumkit.tar.7z)\n\n\n### Have issues\n[Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra](http://sso.mattiaswestlund.net/download.html)\n* Some .sfz cause issues on case sensitive file systems (easy to fix by hand)\n* Some .sfz have regions with missing pitch_keycenter opcode (causes region to play out of tune, can be fixed by hand)\n* A version with the above corrections made can be found [here](https://github.com/davem2/sso), also check out [this version with loop points added](https://github.com/peastman/sso)\n\n[PatchArena Marimba: Community Edition](http://patcharena.com/free-marimba-samples-patcharena-marimba-in-sfz-format/)\n* Resulting multisample does not load (something strange about PatchArena_marimba-036-c#1.wav)\n\n## SFZ resources\nhttp://patcharena.com/downloads/index.php?subcat=168\n\n[unofficial sfz spec](http://drealm.info/sfz/plj-sfz.xhtml)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavem2%2Fsfz2bitwig","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdavem2%2Fsfz2bitwig","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavem2%2Fsfz2bitwig/lists"}
