sfizz-render now is bundled in https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz
sfizz-render requires the sndfile library ; on Debian-based systems, you can install libsndfile1-dev.
It also requires sfizz installed as a shared library.
On Arch you have AUR packages available for this, or install it from source following the information in (https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz).
To build the release from source use
git clone --recursive https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz-render.git
cd sfizz-render
make
You have to specify 3 elements to sfizz-render:
- A MIDI/SMF file
- An SFZ file
- An output WAV file
The output file can only be a stereo WAV file for now, not because of technical reasons because
libsndfileis very versatile, but because I did not want to multiply the possible flags.
The basic usage is
sfizz-render --wav wav_file.wav --sfz sfz_file.sfz --midi midi_file.mid
The complete list of command line options is:
Render a midi file through an SFZ file using the sfizz library.
Usage:
sfizz-render [OPTION...]
--sfz arg SFZ file
--midi arg Input midi file
--wav arg Output wav file
-b, --blocksize arg Block size for the sfizz callbacks
-s, --samplerate arg Output sample rate
-t, --track arg Track number to use
--oversampling arg Internal oversampling factor
-v, --verbose Verbose output
--use-eot End the rendering at the last End of Track Midi
