Unfortunately this script is NOT flexible and requires a certain SFZ custom format (as in matchstr object below).
create an SFZ file in the same directory, with name
“drumkit.sfz”
run the script:
python sfz_to_h2.py
The SFZ file content format must be very close to this:
<region> key=34 offset=0 lovel=0 hivel=127 sample=ogg/beats_01-34.oga <region> key=35 offset=0 lovel=0 hivel=127 sample=ogg/beats_06-50.oga // c3 - bass drum 1 <region> key=36 offset=0 lovel=0 hivel=127 sample=ogg/beats_06-38.oga // c#3 - stick <region> key=37 offset=0 lovel=0 hivel=127 sample=ogg/beats_09-12.oga // d3 - snare 1 <region> key=38 offset=0 lovel=0 hivel=127 sample=ogg/beats_01-21.oga
Note: hydrogen ignores midi notes (key=36) below NR. 36 (=bass drum) !
