sample links are removed
Hi,
Sample links are lost while exporting as Sf3. This appears to be done on purpose but I don't know which one.
If it's related to the idea of compressing both left and right samples together, I think it's a bad idea since sf2 format is based on mono samples (played together but 2 distinct mono samples). All sf2 players take into account mono samples to play and if you merge these samples you would force developers to dissociate them first, so that the sf3 format can be read. Two parts of a stereo sample, once imported in a soundfont, may be played completely differently depending on what parameter we put.
@mirabilos added a note about it, but I still don't know why links are removed. Only @wschweer would know.
