Disclaimer: I am new to sampling. I have edited MIDI tracks, and am a player and sound engineer. Please indulge me as I am new to this side. Thank you.
I could not find a premade sample of an antique musical instrument, so I sampled every note of one, and I have 43, ten second WAV files that I want to play as a polyphonic MIDI instrument. Each file is named after the corresponding note on a piano keyboard. One velocity, no layers, etc. Nothing else. That's it. Seems simple, but all of these programs do 10 million things and I want to streamline.
Looking to open up some software. load the program, hook up MIDI and play. Audio out from the keyboard is fine.
Here's what I have:
Sampler Software: Bliss 2
DAW: Cakewalk
Who can help a novice out?
Thanks!

What instrument was it that you sampled?
I don’t know Bliss, but throwing the files on a Bitwig sampler should already create something useful. You can also have a look at DecentSampler, I think there are some naming conventions which allow to assign the samples automatically to the correct keys…
And I could make you a SFZ/DecentSampler from the files if you wish to share them… Bliss should be able to load SFZ…

DecentSampler or SFZ would probably be the quickest ways to make something that works, yeah.

Maybe you could use ConvertWithMoss?

Yes, I also wonder which instrument you sampled. 
Anyway, welcome to this forum!
So that your sample instrument is future-proof, I would recommend
the samplers "Decent-Sampler" or "Sforzando". Both are really good
and free to download (a short Google-search should be successful).
You can easily prepare your recorded files in SFZ format for playback.
For this you go to this page and look at the simplest example.
You'll see: It's easy! And "hey presto" - you can play your samples
through your keyboard!
