I've not got Kontakt, so aiming to use just with Dimension pro. I'm not intedning on using too many samples as a basis to my music, beyond percussion that is. So can't warrent paying out for another sampler format

I'm not massively familiar with SFZ files, but have edited the session drummer files before, so should be able to get my head around it. I'm not too familiar with Dimension Pro either, beyond loading up presets and basic editing, and have hit the hurdle of the following error message

Cannot find the C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\sfzlog.txt

When it loads up the SFZ file.

I' going away for the weekend in a couple of hours, so may not get the chance to figure out before then, so will report back next week

I've just downloaded the '72 Jazz Bass Direct samples, so completly clean, I'll add distortion from the Guitar Rig and Re-Valver when I need, rather than go for distorted samples.  

Trilian.  For comprehensiveness.
Orange Tree.  For unique flavors.
Scarbee/NI.  For old school (i.e. 70s and 80s)

They should also play back using SFZ, the SFZ player bundled with Sonar.

Sorry Linear Phase, I'm just posting to say it's unlikely I'll get a chance to get these bass sample working in the next 2 years. I tried in both Dim Pro and SFZ player. An error message in the Dim Pro and seem to load, but no sound in SFZ. I think the SFZ files have a incapatablity issue somewhere, but I'm not getting a chance to pin point where. In the SFZ files that come with sonar, the regions are listed sequentially, where as on the files provieded, they are listed vertically. I don't know if these is an issue or not, it's just the obvious difference. I had intended on just re-writting one region sequentially and seeing if that sorted and if it did, using MS Excell to extract the detials from the file and creat a new txt file from it.

Just had my house mate spring moving out 8 months earlier than indicated, so instead of finding a new housemate, I'm of to South East Asia for a year or two, maybe more to travel and teach English

Nothing wrong with the wav files, they play, I'd suggest getting one guitar and messing with it, then buying more if you fancy and get successful results

Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Thank you Scoot..

I read your post earlier today, but I just got around to saying thanks.  :-) I hope you have good journeys... I know I would be.  Asia..  sounds fun.

cheers

Wow, this was a little surreal for me, sorry to revive an old thread, but feels right to finish it.
 
So yesterday I saw cclarry's post in the Deal's section and thought do I get the Amplesound J-bass. Realising I own a set of Jazz72 samples, I was google searching this forum for information for good bass guitar synths, and found this thread with my post.

Wow reading that and realising this was the day I took my life on a different journey took me back. It is now 2 years later and I am now an English Teacher happily living in Vietnam, and am now again thinking of sorting this samples problem. As an English teacher I am disappointed in the spelling errors in that post too.  
 
So I don't know what happened, why I was getting the error messages I had before. Maybe I just needed to re-start Sonar, maybe I had tried that, maybe Dim-Pro had a little fix as it a version that came with X3 upgrade. But these samples in SFZ format do work in Dim-Pro.
 
Go to C:\program files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Multisamples
Create a Folder - 72 Jazz Bass
Add the samples folder
Add the SFZ files
 
Open Sonar, open Dimension Pro, click on the 'Empty' box under the Elements buttons (E1,E2 etc), find the SFZ folder and load
 
I do get an error message of some sort open in notepad 'Unknown opcode: gain_cc7', but closing this causes no issues.
 
You cannot find these in the program option as you haven't got any program files, but once you have created one from the above method, then you can save one.
 
Because I now have Rapture, I tried the same in process in Rapture, but looked in the Dimension Pro Multisamples folder, as they were saved their, and they worked the same too, even the same 'Unknown opcode: gain_cc7' which was expected. Now I have good reason to get my head around rapture, and layering a bass synth could get nice a funky.

 AcousticSamples has some decent basses as well... used to be Kontakt, now UVI engine only... so bring your iLok...

iLok is an option but it's no longer require to run UVI workstation.

Just realised this is an old thread but I will add Ilya Efimov - I only have fretless bass but its up there with the best.

Trillian.

Note: Since purchasing Trillian, I simply don't feel the need to look elsewhere.

That is my feeling as well, never felt the need to look any further, both with Trilogy and now Trilian, although now days I'll usually just play the bass parts myself.
