UPDATED ZIP, version 21.

ZIP attachment in the first post.

Bug fix.
Added 4 sends channel.
Group and looped oscillator modified to conform to SoundFont 2.x.
Clarifications in the manual to obtain correctly phased delayed LFO.

I have studied some file formats and introduced some concepts in the VST to ease the port.

I was considering adding a (bulk) IMPORT feature, because a VST is useless without the patches.
Then one can modify the imported file if desired.

SFZ format has too many keywords and the specification seemed incomplete, so for now i passed.

Soundfont 2.04 is interesting. The specification document is complete, detailed and not too long. I am considering to start with this format that seems to have much material on the web.
The only problem is licensing. I don't know if i can include a feature to import sf2 files. Is there a fee for players?

I am almost done implementing the features needed to start implementing the import.
The last thing missing is the automation of start, end, loopstart and loopend (now are fixed)
I will implement this with a resample function that has also those parameters.

UPDATED ZIP, version 24.

ZIP attachment in the first post.

Tons of bugfixes
Introduced new functions for ENV, LFO, OSC
Modified FILT and CURVE
Introduced simplified combo OSC+ENV up to 3x faster
Deleted obsolete functions
BASEG, BASEF, KEYTRACK, VELTRACK, KEYCENTER now is per layer.
Frequency (cents) and GAIN (dB) modulators per layer to be able to use simplified and faster combo functions most of the times

Starting implementing BULK SOUNDFONT 2.x IMPORT (for now performs checks and dump)

UPDATED ZIP, version 25.

ZIP attachment in the first post.

Bug fixes
Performance optimization of FILT (eliminated drive)
New combo functions
New envelope functions
LAST contruct to queue COMMON instructions at the end of a LAYER

*****************************************
SOUNDFOND 2.04 BULK IMPORT
*****************************************
Not supported features:
Reverb and Chorus
Linked modulators (a modulator that modulates another)
Some default modulators are not honored for performance reasons: only Velocity -> Attenuation and Fc, Pitchwheel -> Pitch
But if added they will be honored.

These parameter are regularly applied, but modulations on them are ignored:
start/end/loop points
keytrack (called scaleTuning)
overriding of velocity, key number, rootkey
modlfo2fc
modenv2fc

Isn't it easier to use eg releases on GitHub?

Probably. But i never used any versioning software (i hate them) so i don't have an account there.
And for a single zip file of less than 200K i think is a little bit overkill.
