Plogue has announced the release of sforzando, a new and free sample player that is SFZ 2.0 compliant.
The SFZ Format is a widely used standard to define musical instruments from a set of sound recordings. Any developer can create, use and distribute SFZ files and players for free or commercial purposes.
sforzando relies on the same ARIA Engine that powers the ARIA Player and other products from Garritan and also Plogue chipsounds. This engine has been built from the "ground up" on the SFZ spec.
Plogue has deployed a forum dedicated to the SFZ format to help users support each other. Now, they will add a section specific to sforzando and the ARIA Engine. All technical support for this product will solely provided by its community at ARIAEngine.com.
