In theory, LinuxSampler CVS should load the jRhodes3 soundfont, but I
had trouble doing so here -- LinuxSampler crashed when I tried. It might
just be a problem with the build of LinuxSampler I have here, but I get
the impression that the SF2 backend for LinuxSampler isn't as mature as
the GIG and SFZ backends.

However, this tool (it's a free-as-in-beer, closed-source, Windows app,
but it worked just fine under Wine for me) can convert SF2 to SFZ:

I gave it a shot on the jRhodes3 SF2 file, and the resulting SFZ works
well in my LinuxSampler CVS build. If anyone wants a copy of this, email
me off-list and I'll send you a link. If there's enough interest, I'll
email the author and see if he's happy for me to release it publicly.

Thanks
Leigh
