SF editors are usually big complicated beasts. I've authored Translator, a Mac/Win program that converts any format to any format - inst files, bank files like SF, and single sound files (WAVE, etc.), and it can be a beast too. Wouldn't be wonderful to have something quick and easy to create a SF really quickly (no beast)? Like if there was a menu option within Finder/Explorer to quickly create it without thinking? I'll work on that. *--------------------------------------------------------------------------* | Garth Hjelte | | See ALL NEW Squirrel, Alysia, and TJ pics at www.chickensys.com/squirrel | | Updated July 23rd, 2016 | *--------------------------------------------------------------------------* _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
