sforzando is a highly SFZ 2.0 compliant sample player. It is a good tool to experiment and share instruments without relying on proprietary formats. sforzando has only one instrument slot; no fancy UI, effects or mixers. Every tweak has to be done at the SFZ file level, no cheating. sforzando is also a name given for a sudden change in music dynamics which, in musical notation, is represented by the “sfz” symbol.
