KarmaFX Forum

kThis may not be a karma fx bug but sfz fils created in Highlife cause karma synth to crash and the host with it. I used it on Reaper and Live 7. These files play OK in highlife and the rgc sfz player, but in karma the final sample needs to be deleted before touching anything, particularly do not go near the keyboard view. Sadly highlife is the only programme I have for creating these files.
Cheers Steve

A quick fix. Turn the octave control in note/pitch right up before importing the sfz file. This stops the synth from mapping the highest note backwards across the keyboard making it unstable.
My version of highlife sometimes doesn't write a pitch_keycenter value, I just write it in with notepad.
I haven't solved the looping problem, I just turn sustain and loop off.

Of couse crashes are a no-no!
Please do send sfz files that don't work to me, and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

This should be fixed in the latest version:

Bugfix: When importing an sfz file, an out of range lokey/hikey could make the synth crash. Fixed. (Thanks Stephen!)
