sfZed is an Windows editor for the sfz format used by
certain VST instruments. The editor works with audio samples to map them to
the keyboard, and shape them to create the sound you want. It uses the sfz
sample player vsti plugin to audition the results, the synth technology which
the sfz format was based on with full polyphony. It will also convert
Soundfont sf2 to sfz, giving you the opportunity to change and fix the way
it plays back. The sfz format contains over 200 settings like velocity
sensitivity, loops, reverb, EQ and controller settings to create the sound
you want for your music. sfZed works with a midi keyboard to allow you to
play and set values, including mapping drum samples.
