Issues with the SCC Taiko Drums sfz

[arakash92]

Just wanted to alert you that this Taiko Drum sfz isn't being converted correctly. It's a popular SFZ file afaik.

wave.Error: unknown format: 3

Also, thanks a ton for this tool!

Hey, thanks for the report.

I downloaded version 1.0 of SCC Taiko Drums from here and was able to convert that one without error.

Is that the same version of the SCC Taiko Drums you're using? What OS are you using?

Running with the --noloop option should get around the error for now (though you wont get the loop for Taiko C5.wav)

Not sure if this helps, but I get the following output:
