Soundfonts in Flowstone?

I have a ton of sf2 files and was wondering if it is possible to
make an oscillator that can play these files in FS? Sure there are many soundfont players but would be cool to make my own.
Cheers.

There’s an SFZ parser prim in the toolbox. But I never messed with it.
Pretty useless comment eh?
Anyone else…?

Direct support in Flowstomne does only exist for the open standard sfz. It uses simple text files to define instruments and paths.
sf2 is the current soundfont format and uses RIFF files (the same format .wav files use) for all definitions. This is not natively supported. However it is possible to write your own parser using Ruby. It is a bigger project, though.

Not useless at all. I actually didnt know there was such a prim in the toolbox. Thanks
