These are made for my own personal usage, as I had pirated many things for "The Amber in Embers" album back in 2012.
Said album will be re-released soon, and I want it to be piracy-free this time around.
Feel free to fork and improve these scripts if you like, as my knowledge of SFZ is minimal!
- I purchased DirectBass 2.0 a couple years ago with the intent of reworking this album with entirely legally obtained instruments and plugins
- I never purchased Kontakt, so I needed a way to load DirectBass 2.0 up- Music Production 2: Enter Sforzando
- Never purchased ezdrummer or Nashville EZX (which were heavily used on my old stuff) and needed to get that Black Beauty snare back
A custom, somewhat-blind reimplementation of DirectBass 2.0's entire sample script in SFZ format for use with
SFZ 2.0/ARIA compatible players like Sforzando. All keyswitches are available on all patches!
Scripts are mapped to the default sample directory names DIrectBass 2.0 ships with.
DirectBass 2.0 is available for purchase here, and well worth the $49 for its punchiness.
Credit to NTO for his DirectBass Free SFZ, it was a good point of reference.
Simple mappings of both the Muted and Open variants of DW's free Black Beauty snare sample packs.
DW's "Open" samples in particular fit my needs almost perfectly.
This is great for augmenting cheaper sample sets like MT Power Drumkit or Druminator with the sound, if you're willing to produce it a bit.
Get these sounds here. Put the downloaded *.wav files into a folder called "Samples", with said folder alongside the SFZ script(s).
