I have created a sfz file and compiled a corresponding file-tree of instrument samples.

Is there software that convert this sfz filetree to a sf2 soundfont file?

The reason is: I can easily create the sfz file-tree, and easily use the sf2 file. However, creating the sf2 requires special software and playing the sfz does not appear to be supported by timidity.

Here are two different utilities you can use to convert an sfz file and file-tree to an sf2 file.

  1. Use polyphone with the following command: polyphone -1 -i your-soundfont.sfz
  2. Use convertSoundBank.py from freepats-tools: convertSoundBank.py grandPiano.sfz grandPiano.sf2
