I can replace the Drum Replacer Wave with an SFZ file by loading from the GUI waveform area.
That's pretty cool. It even supports the velocity values in the samples.
 
However, if I put that SFZ file and it's samples in the Drum Replacer content area it will screw things up.
 
For example, I took the Karplangor sfz file I posted in the Rapture Pro forum and loaded it fine by locating it in the Rapture Pro multisamples location.
 
But if I copy the files (SFZ and samples) and put it in:
 
Cakewalk Content\Drum Replacer\Drums\Snares
 
then Drum Replacer will ignore all the Snares until I remove the SFZ file and samples.
 
 
 
 
 

There appears to be a specific naming convention for the sfz files. Each file name ends with the drum type. Not sure if it makes a difference but you might try to follow the convention.

Out of curiosity, do the samples load ok if you load the .sfz manually from the gui waveform area?

I did three things and it now works:
 
1) Renamed Karplangor.sfz to Karplangor Snare.sfz
2) Moved the samples from the Snares folder to the SampleData folder
3) Edited the sample locations in the SFZ file to point to the new SampleData folder
 
Karplangor is not a snare by any means, but the effect is pretty cool.
 
I could see using 'Drum' Replacer as a special purpose sound replacer.

Yes.

I believe you can add folders in the Drum folder.
I just added a User folder and dropped one of the snare sfz files renaming it ...user.sfz. It appears to work.

Here is what I see now - and the track drum sound is replaced with the karplangor pluck:
 

 

I have not tried absolute paths to samples in an sfz but would expect DR would use them. Most sfz files are created with relative paths.

Yes. Absolute paths will work. Also, sfzs make search and replace pretty easy.
