SF2 oscillator type

[CurlyMC]

Would it be feasible to add soundfont SF2 as an oscillator type into Surge XT ?

Since discovering Swami Project ( http://www.swamiproject.org/ ) on my linux system, having lots of fun creating my own soundfonts & playing with existing soundfonts.
Although maybe dated, the open soundfont format is very powerfull, almost endless possibilities for making professional sounds & presets from short wav files into a single sf2 file !
Wav files can be looped, played once, layered ect, would be super to be able to combine this with surge XT's synth features.

Thank you Surge team for all superb instruments !

We have already had this topic or a similar one (#1069, there was no need to open a new one.

The focus is to enable SF2 loading for Shortcircuit XT, not Surge.

Closing as duplicate.

Short circuit even in pre alpha form has pretty good sf2 support already though. If you are interested in trying that!

Hi there @baconpaul & @mkruselj , thank you for the fast reply.

Did ask for SF2 support in SurgeXT because still dreaming to be able to load some wav file using it as an oscillator type ( either via some wav import or feature sfz implementation.. ). Sorry ok, mkruselj with #1069 you're right.

Yes be very interested in trying SC, it's looking promising and I'm sure development is in good hands :-)
In fact I just put the latest version 27/07/2023 on my linux system and it also opens perfectly as a clap / vst3 plugin inside Qtractor daw.
I succesfully can import SF2 files, as long as I don't save them as 24bit from Swami ( the editor in which I create my soundfonts ).
When saving a soundfont in 24bit format, ShortCircuit displays : SF2 Load Error - Unable to load SF2 bit-depth 48.
For your information, Kind Regards, Luc.

SC currently doesn't support 24 bit samples, this is a known issue and is tracked in SC github repository, not here.

Oh it supports 24 bit wav but not sf2

@CurlyMC if you are on discord can you dm me a link to the sf2? I only have 16 bit ones in my test suite

@baconpaul

Created a zip with the soundfont files.
If you need any other 16 or 24 bit soundfonts, let me know.

Thanks so much. Lets continue over surge-synthesizer/shortcircuit-xt#616 here
