output sound is very low about sfizz-render

Can you test with:

<region> sample=*sine

Post your output here, and the MIDI file.

very good suggestion. I created a test instrument as follows:

<global>
<group>
<region> sample=*sine lokey=0 hikey=127 pitch_keycenter=64

The wav file was loud. at some parts, it was too loud, causing loud clicks in the wav file, that could be avoided if there was a volume option, similar to Sforzando.

But the problem remain with literally my piano samples... very confusing... sfizz_jack loads the instruments without a problem. There seem to be a problem causing the volume drop somewhere. For example, rain piano sfz renders it very fine but my other piano libraries have the extreme low volume problem! strange.

Hi,

You can use a volume opcode to tweak the sound. There is a good chance that the clicks are more due to abruptly ending the waveform since there is no release envelope applied by default---Sforzando applies a small relase envelope in all cases.

We can check more what's happening to your piano but for this we would need the sfz and midi file you are using 🙂

let me explain it in this way. If i load the SFZ with sfizz and capture the JACK output, I will end up with a very different audio file than using sfizz-render. There are some factors influencing the rendered audio that should be tweakable by additional options. But I am not sure what these factors are.

For examle, the clicks I mentioned do not appear in sfizz, but appear in sfizz-render because the audio file is too loud or too low. is there a way to ckeck what is going on?

I can, for example use a free Piano SFZ from the internet to demonstrate and reproduce the error, if that'd be of help to you.
