SFZ instrument that I made using public domain samples by AKAI. My goal was to create an instrument that works with LinuxSampler and has a number of interchangeable versions, including an extremely minimalistic one. Also it was also a good opportunity to learn about the SFZ format.
| Bank/Instrument suffix | Velocity Layers | Mono/Stereo | Notes per sample | Total Number of Samples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| xs1 (ls) | 1 | mono | 3-4 | 30 |
| xs2 (ls) | 1 | fake stereo | 3-4 | 30 |
| s1 (ls) | 2 | mono | 3-4 | 60 |
| s2 (ls) | 2 | fake stereo | 3-4 | 60 |
| m1 (ls) | 4 | mono | 3-4 | 224 |
| m2 (ls) | 4 | fake stereo | 3-4 | 224 |
| m3 (ls) | 4 | fake mono | 3-4 | 224 |
| m4 (ls) | 4 | stereo | 3-4 | 224 |
| l1 (ls) | 4 | mono | 1-3 | 452 |
| l2 (ls) | 4 | fake stereo | 1-3 | 452 |
| l3 (ls) | 4 | fake mono | 1-3 | 452 |
| l4 (ls) | 4 | stereo | 1-3 | 452 |
- Banks/instruments with 'ls' are for LinuxSampler, while those without it are for any other software
- A bank/instrument without a number includes all banks with the same letter+number, which can be switched using the LSB CC32 command. For example, if the 'ya_splendid_grand_piano_l.sfz' file is loaded, you can switch to 'l1' by sending the LSB CC32 0 command, to 'l2' by sending LSB CC32 1, and so on.
- mono: 1 sample, not panned (center).
- fake stereo: 1 sample, panned (lower notes to the left, higher notes to the right).
- fake mono: 2 samples, both not panned (center).
- stereo: 2 samples, panned (first sample 100% left, second sample 100% right).
The bank does not include samples for every note; some sounds are produced by changing the pitch of the samples. For example, '3-4' means that one sample is used to produce approximately 3-4 notes.
