GUI for creating SFZ presets based on SFZ maps under SFZBuilder folder structure.
Create a virtual environment as .venv
Windows (CMD):
python -m venv .venv
call .venv/Scripts/activate
macOS/Linux (Bash):
python3 -m venv .venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate
and install the next dependencies
pip install PySide6==6.7.3
pip install natsort
pip install pyinstaller
Once updated the UI and/or resource files, run scripts/update_ui_files.sh.
From VSCode/ium just press CTRL Shift B or press CTRL P and write task, then press space and select Save UI task. Ignore the error messages once executed.
If you want to straight build SFZBuilder, you have to run update_ui_files.sh first through VSCode/ium before running pyinstaller.
To make a build for Windows/macOS/Linux, run:
pyinstaller ./src/main.py --name=sfzbuilder
and then run the bash script build.sh to move the required files to run it normally.
The executable can be found in dist/sfzbuilder/(executable named sfzbuilder)
Make sure to run sudo when executing pyinstaller
If you have problems to run build.sh in macOS, execute sudo chmod 755 build.sh and then sudo ./build.sh
- Download the init folder and save it in a place you find comfortable:
https://github.com/michael02022/sfzbuilder-init-folder
You can rename this folder with whatever name you like.
- Install a SFZPack, a ready-to-go start would be:
SFZBuilder Factory Library Demo
and
Alternately, you can use the gm.dls bank
You should cut/copy the folders inside MappingPool forder from these SFZPacks to your init folder to install them.
