nice, easy, user friendly, performant and still so versatile! it's a lmms/linux user's dream come true, as it's finally the only way i got my own drum samples into a working instrument. I only wonder whether there is more documentation than I know of, as many but not all the sfz opcodes are working in my setup. 'amplitude', <global> and <group> or maybe just 'seq_length'/'seq_position' do not work for me. while the first is easily bypassed by the well-working 'volume', the latter is more of a problem, as this feature would be nice to get a more natural feeling of the intrument. any advice or documentation anyone?

Congratulations! You found it. The best .sf2 soundfontplayer for years. Easy intuitve funtions. I had tested a lot. This one brings out excellent sound from most soundfonts. I haven't seen it crash once. The standalone supports drag and drop. End of search.

The best one so far, perfect for sampling a guitar across the key range, and it has velocity. It really is not that bad, especially considering it only samples one sound, plus it's free.
