"Thanks for supporting open standards!"

I think open standards are a great thing!

...and I stress the word, open.

PS--I'm counting this as a bump as well.

We're still looking, folks! I am trying to figure out how to contact the guy who programmed the Salamander piano:

But I can't find any contact info...

Another idea : before they went to UVI format only, the guys from Acoustic Samples were making very good sfz libraries. So if they can take the job, it'd be fine.

I could probably do this. I have made loads of sfz's for samplelibs that I have purchased, utilizing all these techniques. I mainly use Kontakt these days, but I am still very interested in sfz, its structure and its "openess".

How much should such a job pay? If I should apply for it, I have no idea what rates to ask for..

EDIT: If anyone would like to discuss this, or has any helpful info on the subject (standard rates for sample mappings etc), feel free to shoot me a pm!

Thanks Baard for speaking up!

@Zircon: I've spoken with Baard before, and AFAIK, he knows his stuff. However, as a backup, if Baard doesn't end up choosing to work with you on the job, here's someone else who has worked with round-robin and such with SFZ:

And thank you audiojunkie for vouching for me.

I'll put something together tonight for Zircon, outlining my experience.

Cool! The more professional packages that come out for SFZ, the better for the format!

That is true. I would love to see a freeware sfz players that places oncc controls on a panel, KSP style. Something like that would probably create more interest among developers for SFZ, as well as raising awareness of the format for newcomers and potential customers.

I sent over some words to you Zircon. Great project!

what would be even better, would be an open source or free GUI based multi-sample mapper.

I've done a lot of checking, and I recommend testing SFZ patches for compatibility with the following applications in no particular order:

Dimension LE/Pro
Alchemy Player/Pro
Wusikstation
LinuxSampler
SFZ
