    I've converted a SF2 (soundfont) to Akai AKP format.
    If I try to open this in Maschine 2 i get an 'invalid chunk' error. However, IF I do the same in Maschine 1 it works fine (opens the import dialog)

    So it must be a bug in v2?

    (needless to say, I could easily import to v1, and save them as native Maschine sounds to load into v2, but I thought I should mention the bug)

    Try sforzando (http://www.plogue.com/products/sforzando/) - free VST/AU plug-in which can import many SoundFonts. Some of the SF2 files I tested (which work just fine for me in sfz+) showed errors on loading, but played just fine.

    Also, if you have Aria Player or something else based on the Aria engine (such as the Garritan libraries), it may also be able to load SoundFonts.
