Hi Geoff

the player can only have one instrument loaded at a time. SO if you want more than on instrument you will need to load multiple instances of the player - EG one for piano, another for Harp etc.

The fact that I am using a 64 bit version should be irrelevant.

The icon on the files in the video are actually notepad icons. The raw .sfz files are actually just text files!

Cheers

Thanks again John, I see clearly now, started to think that was the way it is too. Bit of a pain for the sake of a couple of decent vst's, but I guess when recording, it would be workable, just surfing through the sounds is a bit tedious. Geoff

Hi Geoff

there is a free .vst that will allow you different sounds on different channels within the same instance of the player. It is called TX16Wx. Be aware it is a little more tricky / confusing to work with but you might want to have a look.

Thanks John, worked around the problem by saving the instrument preset that I set up, even though they are using Sforznando, I can have several presets programmed and they just load up the same as any of the other VST's. I don't have to even open Sforznando to play them, they open it from the presets. I only really use a couple of those SFZ files anyway, so it all works well now. Regards. Geoff
