Yeah, I never really did have a deep understanding of that one. > I don't know how much it matters, but note that a normal sfz file (one > you might download from Internet) uses relative paths to the samples. > The paths are relative to the location of the sfz file.

This could be an option (though technically the rule is the plugin must map all paths). It could be problematic if several sfz files share a directory and large set of samples and one particular sfz only uses a subset. I don't know if this is common. If a really painfully simple assumption like "the directory the .sfz is in, in its entirety, is the sfz and should be saved" actually works in 99% of cases, it's probably good enough. Otherwise you'd at least have to scan the sfz, and it seems a small step from scanning to rewriting it with modified paths. -dr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
