However it does NOT open SF2 files!
May I ask how you came to this conclusion ?

You can also drop SF2, DLS and acidized WAV files directly on the interface, and they will automatically get converted to SFZ 2.0, which you can then edit and tweak to your liking
you didn't mention in your OP you didn't want them converted or not. You were asking why Sonar couldn't "read" them. Thats the reason I suggested SForzando. However, there are other options out there. just none as complete as SForzando IMO. Use what ever you'd like.
When ever someone uses CAPS and exclamation points, I get the feeling they are either yelling or telling me I have no idea what im talking about, so with that I will politely bow out of this thread.
No, I wrote RGC SFZ will not open them, NOT Sonar! And I came to that conclusion because I tried for half an hour using all the permutations available within the SFZ player app loading standard SF2 files, that DO work btw!
Shouldn't have to convert to sfz files (and most convertors do a poor job anyway). The app (and indeed the manual) state sf2 files can be loaded and used. This is not the case.
I have an exellent player (Jeskola XS-1) however it is 32 bit and I wnt to try and avoid using wrappers in the "preferred" 64 bit environment. Hence the call in the OP.
Re caps, you obviously only seem to relate to the "default" usage, however caps also be used, when within a sentence say, to emphasise words...the same as when in a face to face conversation one stresses certain syllables or indeed whole words to convey additional meaning (although I usually italicise them).....don't get your knickers in a twist! So politiely bow out out if you wish and take your bat and ball and go home, whatever suits you. Doesn't jar me at all!
