Hello
I searched the forums and the Internet without much success to decode the filename structure used for some SFZ files in Dimension Pro. For example in the Drum Loops folder there is a file called dl_80_k01_lp02.sfz. Or in the Grand Piano folder there is a file called Grand Piano v5 LM - 4th.sfz.

Is there any documentation available somewhere that explains what "k01" or  "v5 LM" et cetera means?

Thanks in advance

depends on who makes the loop, is it a loop masters one ? 80 I guess would be the BPM... and lp02.. is there 2nd variant of a loop perhaps.

as you yourself said, you can name the files any which way..

BUT if you open up the sfz in a text editor , you might see the programming that gives clues..

Thanks for replying. It seems like you have to study sfz file formats first...

I tripped over the following explanation on [link=http://sonar.sonarama.com/index.php?title=Sfz_and_Grand_Piano_Part_1]http://sonar.sonarama.com...and_Grand_Piano_Part_1[/link]

The filename is: grand piano 3v m3 rt sim.sfz.

grand piano: The type of instrument originally sampled.
3v: It has three sets of samples triggered by three velocity levels.
m3: The original piano was sampled at every minor third along its entire range.
rt: This file uses the release trigger feature.
sim: This file also uses the resonating string simulation.

This already helps a lot in understanding what is going on.

Thanks for this info and link.  I have been wondering about these filenames myself.
