The sfz Format: Basics
What's The sfz Format?
The sfz format is a file format to define how a collection of samples are arranged
for performance.
The goal behind the sfz format is to provide a free, simple, minimalistic and
expandable format to arrange, distribute and use audio samples with the highest possible
quality and the highest possible performance flexibility.
A sfz format file can be played in our freeware sfz player.
Soundware, software and hardware developers can create, use and distribute the sfz
format
 files for free, for either free or commercial applications.
Some of the features of the sfz format are:
- Samples of any bit depth (8/16/24/32-bit) support, mono or stereo.
- Samples taken at any samplerate (i.e. 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k, 176.4k, 192k, 384k).
- Compressed samples. Compressed and uncompressed can be combined.
- Looped samples.
- Unlimited keyboard splits and layers.
- Unlimited velocity splits and layers.
- Unlimited regions of sample playback based on MIDI controllers (continuous controllers,
pitch bend, channel and polyphonic aftertouch, keyboard switches) and internal generators
(random, sequence counters).
- Sample playback on MIDI control events.
- Unlimited unidirectional and bidirectional exclusive regions (mute groups).
- Unlimited release trigger regions with release trigger attenuation control.
- Unlimited crossfade controls.
- Trigger on first-note and legato notes.
- Sample playback synchronized to host tempo.
- Dedicated Envelope Generators for pitch, filter and amplifier.
- Dedicated LFO for pitch, filter and amplifier.
How the sfz format is structured?
The sfz format is a collection of sample files
plus one or multiple .sfz definition files. This structure, containing multiple files
instead of a single file is defined as non-monolithic.
Two kinds of sample files were selected to be included in the sfz
 format: a basic PCM uncompressed format (standard Windows wave files) and a basic,
adjustable-quality, royalty free compressed format (ogg-vorbis encoded files).
The inclusion of a compressed format allows sample developers and soundware creators
to easily create preview or demonstration files in a small package so they can be
transferred with minimum bandwidth, while retaining complete performance functionality.
Both formats are 100% royalty-free, so players can be created to reproduce them without
fixed or per-copy fees. They can also be freely distributed on the web (provided
that the contents of the files are copyright cleared).
Each .sfz definition file represents one or a collection of instruments. An instrument
is defined as a collection of regions
. Regions include the definition for the input controls, the samples (the wav/ogg
files) and the performance parameters to play those samples.
How the .sfz definition file is created?
A .sfz definition file is just a text file. Consequently, it can be created by using
any text editor (i.e. Notepad).
Why non-monolithic?
While both monolithic and non-monolithic formats have advantages and disadvantages,
there are several reasons which moved us to adopt a non-monolithic sample format.
Technological and conceptual reasons can hardly be separated, so here's a basic explanation.
The most important reason is the file size limitation of a non-monolitic file on
FAT32 partitions. Samples are getting really big nowadays, with thousands of individual
samples collected in single instruments, and triggered according to many input control
combinations.
Samples with high bit resolution (i.e. 24-bit samples) and high samplerate settings
(96kHz, 192kHz) make the collection size even bigger. In the case of a non-monolithic
format, the limitation still applies, but it applies to each sample instead of to
the sum of all samples, making the limit virtually unreachable.
While this limitation doesn't apply to NTFS, NTFS partitions are less efficient than
FAT32 disks in terms of raw disk performance for streaming applications.
Additionally, editing a single sample in a monolithic file implies loading the whole
file, and after edit, saving the whole file again to disk. When collection size is
big, the loading and saving operation is very time-consuming.
However, we have not discharged the possibility of incorporating a monolithic format
for the sfz
format, as soon as the format structure is completely implemented. Small sound sets
(or NTFS users) could chose between the two options appropriately.
Why not XML?
XML was actually the first choice for the .sfz definition file, mainly due the simplicity
from the development point of view as the XML parser and transaction code is already
available.
However, XML was designed to exchange data over the web. Musicians, players, composers,
soundware developers and audio technicians generally do not know about XML at all.
In addition, as a universal information exchange format designed for general-purpose
applications, XML is inefficient (in terms of information over total data terms),
and editing a XML file requires the use of a XML editor instead of a text editor.
A .sfz file is extremely self-explanatory. Most of the functionality of an instrument
can be easily discovered by reading the file.
Is there a .sfz dedicated editor?
From rgc:audio, not yet... and not anytime soon.
However, we're working with several developers in the industry, creators of sample-conversion
software to implement the .sfz format in their converters and editors.
The nature of the format allows creating instruments using other general-purpose
software, like spreadsheets, wordprocessors, simple-scripting languages and other
custom tailored software applications.
Implementation
How an instrument is defined?
The basic component of an instrument is a region
. An instrument then, is defined by one or more regions. Multiple regions can be
arranged in a
group. Groups allow entering common parameters for multiple regions.
A region can include three main components: the definition for a sample, a set of
input controls and a set of
performance parameters
.
Sample
The sample opcode defines which sample file will be played when the region is defined
to play.
If a sample opcode is not present in the region, the region will play the sample
defined in the last <group>
. If there's no previous group defined, or if the previous group doesn't specify
a
sample opcode, the region will be ignored.
Input Controls
Input controls define when
the sample defined in a region will play, based in real-world controller values and/or
internally calculated values.
Real-world controllers are the elements that players, musicians or composers actually
use to play music. Internal values are calculated by the player, like sequence counters
and random generators.
The sfz
 format relies in the standard Musical Instruments Digital Interface (MIDI) specification
for all input controls. Most available performance controllers implement MIDI, and
it's still the dominating specification for software audio sequencers in all platforms.
Keyboard controllers are the most significant example of an Input Controls generator.
Other generators could be MIDI guitars and string instruments, wind controllers,
drum and percussion controllers. With individual differences, they all generate a
common set of messages defined in the MIDI specification.
A set of input controls then, are the combination of a played MIDI note with its
velocity, continuous controllers, pitch bend, channel and polyphonic aftertouch,
etc.
When a particular set of input controls matches the definition for a region, the
sample specified in that region plays, using a particular set of performance parameters
also specified in the region.
Inside the definition file, a region starts with the <region> header. A region is
defined between two <region>
 headers, or between a
<region> header and a <group> header, or between a <region> header and the end of
the file,.
Following the <region>
header one or more opcodes can be defined. The opcodes are special keywords which
instruct the player on what, when and how to play a sample.
Opcodes within a region can appear in any order, and they have to be separated by
one or more spaces or tabulation controls. Opcodes can appear in separated lines
within a region.
Opcodes and assigned opcode values are separated by the equal to sign (=
), without spaces between the opcode and the sign. For instance:
sample=trombone_a4_ff.wav
sample=cello_a5_pp first take.wav
are valid examples, while:
sample = cello_a4_pp.wav
Is not (note the spaces at the sides of the = sign).
Input Controls and Performance Parameters opcodes are optional, so they might not
be present in the definition file. An 'expectable' default value for each parameter
is pre-defined, and will be used if there's no definition.
Example region definitions:
<region> sample=440.wav
This region definition instructs the player to play the sample file '440.wav' for
the whole keyboard range.
<region> lokey=64 hikey=67 sample=440.wav
This region features a very basic set of input parameters (lokey and hikey
, which represent the low and high MIDI notes in the keyboard), and the sample definition.
This instructs the player to play the sample '440.wav', if a key in the 64-67 range
is played.
It is very important to note that all Input Controls defined in a region act using
the AND boolean operator. Consequently, all conditions must be matched for the region
to play. For instance:
<region> lokey=64 hikey=67 lovel=0 hivel=34 locc1=0 hicc1=40 sample=440.wav
This region definition instructs the player to play the sample '440.wav' if there
is an incoming note event in the 64-67 range AND the note has a velocity in the 0~34
range AND last modulation wheel (cc1) message was in the 0~40 range.
Performance parameters
The Performance Parameters define how the sample specified will play, once the region
is defined to play.
A simple example of a Performance Parameter is volume. It defines how loud the sample
will be played when the region plays.
Groups
As previously stated, groups allow entering common parameters for multiple regions.
A group is defined with the <group>
opcode, and the parameters enumerated on it last till the next group opcode, or till
the end of the file.
<group>
ampeg_attack=0.04 ampeg_release=0.45
<region> sample=trumpet_pp_c4.wav key=c4
<region> sample=trumpet_pp_c#4.wav key=c#4
<region> sample=trumpet_pp_d4.wav key=d4
<region> sample=trumpet_pp_d#4.wav key=d#4
<group>
<region> sample=trumpet_pp_e4.wav key=e4 // previous group parameters reset
Comments
Comment lines can be inserted anywhere inside the file. A comment line starts with
the slash character ('/'), and it extends till the end of the line.
<region>
sample=trumpet_pp_c4.wav
// middle C in the keyboard
lokey=60
// pianissimo layer
lovel=0 hivel=20 // another comment
Where the sample files have to be stored?
Sample files can be stored either in the same folder where the .sfz definition file
resides, or in any alternative route, specified relatively to the location of the
definition file. Consequently:
sample=trumpet_pp_c3.wav
sample=samples\trumpet_pp_c3.wav
sample=..\trumpet_pp_c3.wav
Are all valid sample names.
Alternatively, the player might specify one or several 'user folders', where it will
search for samples if it doesn't find them in the same folder as the definition file.
What the sfz format can do?
The sfz format is aimed to allow the arrange of a sample collection in a flexible
and expandable way. It's up to the player to decide which functionality it wants
to implement.
Units
All units in the sfz format are in real-world values. Frequencies are expressed in
Hertz, pitches in cents, amplitudes in percentage and volumes in decibels.
Notes are expressed in MIDI Note Numbers, or in note names according to the International
Pitch Notation (IPN) convention. According to this rules, middle C in the keyboard
is C4 and the MIDI note number 60.
Opcode list
The following is a description of all valid opcodes for the sfz format version 1.0:
Opcode

Default
Range
Sample Definition
sample
This opcode defines which sample file the region will play.
The value of this opcode is the filename of the sample file, including the extension.
The filename must be stored in the same folder where the definition file is, or specified
relatively to it.
If the sample file is not found, the player will ignore the whole region contents.
Long names and names with blank spaces and other special characters (excepting the
= character) are allowed in the sample definition.
The sample will play unchanged when a note equal to the
pitch_keycenter opcode value is played. If
pitch_keycenter
 is not defined for the region, sample will play unchanged on note 60 (middle C).

0 to 4 Gb (4294967296)
loop_mode
If loop_mode
 is not specified, each sample will play according to its predefined loop mode. That
is, the player will play the sample looped using the first defined loop, if available.
If no loops are defined, the wave will play unlooped.
The loop_mode
 opcode allows playing samples with loops defined in the unlooped mode. The possible
values are:
no_loop:
 no looping will be performed. Sample will play straight from start to end, or until
note off, whatever reaches first.
one_shot:
 sample will play from start to end, ignoring note off.
This mode is engaged automatically if the count
 opcode is defined.
loop_continuous:
 once the player reaches sample loop point, the loop will play until note expiration.
loop_sustain:
 the player will play the loop while the note is held, by keeping it depressed or
by using the sustain pedal (CC64). The rest of the sample will play after note release.

loop_mode=no_loop
loop_mode=loop_continuous
text
no_loop
 for samples without a loop defined,
loop_continuous
 for samples with defined loop(s).

until beat 4 reaches.
This opcode will only work in hosts featuring song position information (vstTimeInfo
ppqPos).
floating point
0
0 to 32 beats
sync_offset
