A sampler or player that accepts SFZ cannot load a Korg KMP multisample directly, so conversion is useful when reusing a Korg instrument in an SFZ-compatible setup. The conversion creates an SFZ mapping, but the sample audio may be stored in separate KSF files.
What the KMP format is
KMP is a Korg multisample format used with Korg Triton-family sampling instruments. It stores multisample mapping information, such as how samples are arranged across the keyboard; the associated audio is commonly held in separate KSF sample files. KMP files are often encountered alongside KSF files or a KSC collection file.
What the SFZ format is
SFZ is a text-based format that describes an instrument’s sample assignments and playback behavior. SFZ-compatible players, including Sforzando, can use it to map audio samples across keys and velocity ranges. The SFZ file refers to the audio files rather than embedding them, which makes the mapping editable but means the samples must remain available.
How to convert KMP to SFZ
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the KMP-to-SFZ converter on 101convert.com and upload the KMP file.
- Select SFZ as the output format and start the conversion.
- Download the resulting SFZ file. The page supports batch conversion and displays its per-file size limit.
Offline with desktop software
Awave Studio (Windows) can read Korg sampler files and save instruments as SFZ. Keep the KMP file and its associated KSF sample files together so the program can locate the source audio.
- In Awave Studio, choose File → Open and open the KMP file.
- Check that the instrument loads with its samples, then choose File → Save As and select SFZ as the output format.
- Keep the generated SFZ and its exported or referenced sample files together. Open the SFZ in an SFZ-compatible player to check the mapping.
Quality and compatibility
A KMP file alone may not contain the audio: if its KSF samples are missing, conversion cannot reproduce them. SFZ preserves a sample-based mapping, not Korg-specific synthesis or effects settings; check key ranges, velocity layers, and sample references after conversion.
