Add SoundFont2, DLS, and Gigasampler files

Sampler recognizes SoundFont2, DLS, and Gigasampler files placed inside the Sampler Instruments folder and automatically converts them into sampler instruments.

You can store your imported sampler instruments in any folder on any of your computer hard drives. You can access these instruments from the Sampler Instruments pop-up menu if stored in the default location: ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments folder.

If your files are stored elsewhere, you will need to create an alias pointing to the target folder within the ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments folder.

Add SoundFont2, DLS, or Gigasampler files to your Sampler library

  1. Open Finder.

  2. Copy or move your SoundFont2, DLS, or Gigasampler files into the ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments folder.

    A sampler instrument file is created in the Sampler Instruments folder. This contains the file in its original format.

  3. The raw samples associated with the sampler instrument are placed in one of the following folders, depending on the format being converted:

    • ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/SoundFont Samples

    • ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Gigasampler Samples

    • ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/DLS Samples

  4. To use the added instrument, choose it from the SoundFont2 (E-MU), DLS, or Gigasampler sub menu in the Settings pop-up menu.

SoundFont2 files can contain multiple sounds in addition to single-instrument files.

When you load a SoundFont2 Bank into Sampler, it creates a Bank folder and a Samples folder, named after the SoundFont2 Bank file. The word Bank or Samples is appended to each folder name. A sampler instrument file is automatically created for all sounds in the bank and is placed in the new Bank folder. The Sampler Instruments pop-up menu automatically updates to reflect the new folder hierarchy. All samples associated with the bank are automatically added to a Samples folder inside the SoundFont folder. For example, if you load a SoundFont2 bank file named Vintage Drums, which contains dozens of individual drum kits from several different vintage drum machines, into Sampler, the following happens:

  • A new folder named Vintage Drums Bank is created in the ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Sampler Instruments folder

  • A second folder named Vintage Drums Samples is created in the ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/SoundFont Samples folder

  • The Sampler Instruments pop-up menu hierarchy is updated and the original Vintage Drums entry is replaced with a Vintage Drums.Bank entry. This new entry is a folder that contains the individual sampler instruments, which can be selected and loaded as usual.
