NAudio.Sampler

A cross-platform software sampler for NAudio. Play MIDI through SoundFont (.sf2) and SFZ instruments, or a single sample mapped across the keyboard. Truly cross-platform — net9.0, no [SupportedOSPlatform].

What's included

• SoundFont playback — SoundFontSampler plays .sf2 instruments, including the SF2 modulator engine
• SFZ playback — SfzSampler plays SFZ instruments, with ISfzSampleLoader / FileSfzSampleLoader for resolving the referenced sample files
• Single-sample instruments — SingleSampleInstrument / SingleSampleSampler map one sample across the keyboard
• Voice engine — a polyphonic SamplerEngine with DAHDSR envelopes, LFOs, modulated filters (SamplerFilterType), crossfade curves (SamplerCrossfadeCurve), trigger modes (SamplerTrigger) and reverb/chorus sends

Each sampler is exposed as an ISampleProvider, so it drops straight into any NAudio mixer or output pipeline.

When to use it

Reach for this package when you want to render MIDI to audio using SoundFont or SFZ instruments, or build a sample-based instrument, on any platform NAudio runs on. It builds on NAudio.SoundFile for sample loading and is not pulled in by the NAudio meta-package — reference it explicitly:

dotnet add package NAudio.Sampler
