I had problems getting SFZ+ going in Sonar 64 on my i7 which is multi core. (4 cores with hyperthreading, so effectively 8 virtual cores.) but I thought it was operator error, I get an out of memory error, I have since read that it's caused by a mode setting, are you saying it won't run on multi core processors? Could this be the my problem?
I think unlike SFZ SFZ+ is pretty much dead in the water and you will not see any further development. That's why they started giving it away.
The main advantage of SFZ+ is its multi timberal with four stereo outputs so there is a lot less of a need to insert multi instances.
I have no problems running SFZ. I don't think I tried running multi instances though since went 64 Bit, but I used to do it quite a bit on my old DAW (dual core AMD processor). I must admit I don't get the soundfonts out of the box much these days, I have a large collection but the Kontakt, Dimension pro and Yellow Tools Instruments I have show up soundfont as a legacy format. I can't see developers poring a lot of resources into supporting it.
