How can I make an sfz instrument on iOS using named wav files?
I have a bunch of instruments that came in various formats but I can’t find any sfz files I recognise -they actually said they came as soundfonts but I can only see strange file names and vsl etc.
There is a samples folder with each individual instrument having a folder containing named wav files for each sample, these named ending in numbers, I don’t know if that has to do with mapping,
I have no idea how to proceed. I can zip the folder for an instrument but it won’t load as an instrument in decent sampler, I get that error

Hi. Not sure about sfz. DecentSampler uses an xml text file (.dspreset) that describes the GUI and lists the sample file to be used for each velocity and note range. If you download a DecentSampler file (.dslibrary), say from pianobook in a browser (not in the DS app), you can change the extension to .zip and unzip it to see how it's done. Clone the .dspreset file and change it to reference your samples, and create a new dslibrary for your instrument. You may have trouble doing these tricks inside the Apple system; I use FE File Explorer for this sort of hacking.
There is this really useful application ‘Folder-to-sfz’ (free) from Versilian Studios which might help but I’m not quite sure what you’re after? Sample files need to be named according to its requirements but then it’s really easy to make an sfz instrument.

Edit: Sorry, you wanted to do it on iOS didn’t you? This is described as ‘platform agnostic’ but requires Java 8+. I don’t know whether that means it can run on iOS somehow or not?
Thank you both, these are really helpful and I will have a go later. I do have a vm pc sub so I can try the converter thing too. And also use izip on iOS
