Thanks b rock, you have identified my problem. After some further inverstigation I've found that sfz will play sfz files,
but only those that do not have default_path=...
There are a few folders in DimPro's Multisample folder that have sfz files without this control opcode and these play just fine.
I realize that this plugin is probably worthless, but I'm just slowly going through this enormous synth called Sonar
that I just bought and want to know what's in it, what works and what doesn't.
