Hello fellow sample enthusiasts. I've recently got into using soundfonts, especially with the great SFZ player. I was wondering what free tool is preferred when trying to create soundfonts of one's own. I'm looking for something basically where I can keymap/stretch wav files, assign them to different velocities etc... Does a program like this exist?

I think you'll want this guy's "Viena" editor.

.sfz idea

I second the .sfz idea.

Advantages:

Samples remain separate and intact
The mapping file is an editable text file
.sfz files are loaded by sfz (duh!)
There's a plethora of parameters available to define the mappings and sound of the .sfz patch - Look here.

To me, creating .sfz mappings is easier than creating a soundfont.

HTH.

Awave Studio, found at http://www.fmjsoft.com
You can create SF2 files with the demo version, as long as they only contain one instrument.

I second the 'chainer' suggestion. Brill little app

Yeah. It's an alright little program. A little quirky at times, but for the most part, it gets the job done.

And free.

What is the best tool (free?) for making/editing soundfonts
