sample Opcode
This is the most fundamental opcode of the SFZ file format. It allows you to load and assign a certain audio sample file. A variety of audio file formats are supported.
Opcode Prototype
sample=path
Parameter
The mandatory path parameter usually defines the file system
path of the sample file that shall be loaded and assigned, which may
either be an absolute path or a relative path. A relative path is
always interpreted relative to the sfz file's location.
Alternatively built-in samples may be used, which can be distinguished from regular samples by a star character as first character. Built-in samples are not covered by the standard, but are common among several sfz players.
