Using latest version of Samplicity and get these errors.

Does this path really exist?
'/home/negativerad/Downloads/Samplicity/samples/grand piano/piano-f-c1.wav'

Frequently things don't work because of malformed sfz or missing sample files

[negativerad]

No i don't see it, i thought the python script would export the wav files?

[ckald]

From where? SFZ format is just a text file that does not contain samples. You should have both *.sfz files and "samples" folder

[negativerad]

Ahh i see the problem case sensitive issue. The sfz is looking for samples but the folder is Samples. Thanks!

[ckald]

That's another thing about SFZ: if it was created under Windows, it will contain windows-style paths. I haven't fixed this yet

[negativerad]

That make sense because windows is not case sensitive. In Linux i just ran this command to rename everything to lowercase

rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *

[ckald]

Good idea, but I probably should not make this a part of the script :) Looks like some recursive search is required here

Actually, your bugreports reminded me of this project and of a new version that I have written once but eventually lost all the sources. So if this script is useful for anyone I will probably carry on with it.

I think it's really useful to the Sunvox community, for those at least using XI samples.
