JS web app that converts SFZ instruments into a HISE samplemap and a JSON object with opcode data.

SFZ to HISE converter / translator application

This is the open source repository for the SFZ to HISE converter / translator JavaScript application. It reads and parses SFZ instruments (music sampler instrument files), processes the opcodes and values (sample files, key root, hikey, lokey, velocity mappings etc) and makes HISE samplemaps and JSON data objects.

HISE is an open source music application and plugin framework for making musical instrument/effect plugins in the VST / AU / RTAS or AAX formats. HISE has a built in SFZ importer tool. This tool aims to provide an alternative to the native HISE SFZ importer and apart from a HISE samplemap also creates a JSON object literal, containing all opcode data found in the SFZ instrument file. The JSON object can be copied to clipboard with one click in either raw JSON form or in a variable for HISE-script / JavaScript (or any other language) and pasted into a file directly, for scripting convenience.

The SFZ to HISE converter is made in JavaScript and intended for use in a modern web browser. It includes an application html file, including a user interface (web ui) along with a couple of .js files that contain the application. You can either use it on the KeyPleezer website or download a zip from this project.

SFZ header support

The following SFZ headers are currently supported (analyzed):

• <control>, <global>, <group> and <region>.

These are the main headers used for opcodes that is used to create the components for each sample used in a HISE XML samplemap.

The following SFZ headers are being integrated:

• <master>, <curve>, <effect>, <midi>.
