NAudio.Sampler

Nuget

A cross-platform software sampler for NAudio. Play MIDI through SoundFont (.sf2) and SFZ instruments, or a single sample mapped across the keyboard. Truly cross-platform — net9.0, no [SupportedOSPlatform].

What's included

  • SoundFont playback — SoundFontSampler plays .sf2 instruments, including the SF2 modulator engine
  • SFZ playback — SfzSampler plays SFZ instruments, with ISfzSampleLoader / FileSfzSampleLoader for resolving the referenced sample files
  • Single-sample instruments — SingleSampleInstrument / SingleSampleSampler map one sample across the keyboard
  • Voice engine — a polyphonic SamplerEngine with DAHDSR envelopes, LFOs, modulated filters (SamplerFilterType), crossfade curves (SamplerCrossfadeCurve), trigger modes (SamplerTrigger) and reverb/chorus sends

Each sampler is exposed as an ISampleProvider, so it drops straight into any NAudio mixer or output pipeline.

When to use it

Reach for this package when you want to render MIDI to audio using SoundFont or SFZ instruments, or build a sample-based instrument, on any platform NAudio runs on. It builds on NAudio.SoundFile for sample loading and is not pulled in by the NAudio meta-package — reference it explicitly:

dotnet add package NAudio.Sampler

A patch release. The headline fix is packaging: the `NAudio` and `NAudio.Extras`
meta-packages now ship a plain `net9.0-windows` leg, so WinForms and WPF projects
targeting `netX.0-windows` get the full Windows stack again.

* **Breaking:** `AudioFileReader` now throws `NotSupportedException` instead of `InvalidOperationException` when the cross-platform build is asked for a format it cannot read, and the messages simply state that rather than suggesting an `NAudio.Wasapi` install that could never have helped (#1407)
* Fixed the `NAudio` and `NAudio.Extras` meta-packages resolving their portable `net9.0` asset on projects targeting a plain `netX.0-windows` TFM (the WinForms/WPF template default), which silently dropped the entire Windows stack — no `WaveOut`, WASAPI, Media Foundation, ASIO, DMO or WinForms types, and `AudioFileReader` throwing "MP3 file reading requires the NAudio.Wasapi package". Both packages now also ship a plain `net9.0-windows` leg (#1407)
* Projects on a plain `netX.0-windows` TFM may now see `CA1416` warnings when calling WASAPI process-loopback capture. The warning is correct — those callers do need an `OperatingSystem.IsWindowsVersionAtLeast(10, 0, 19041)` guard — and was previously hidden because the only Windows asset available already implied that floor (#1407)
* Sample and tool apps now roll forward onto newer .NET runtimes, so running them no longer requires the .NET 9 runtime to be installed (#1408)
* Fixed `AiffFileReader` reporting too long a `Length` and throwing `IndexOutOfRangeException` when the SSND chunk declares a non-zero offset (#1405)
* Fixed `AiffFileReader.Read` throwing `IndexOutOfRangeException` when the source stream returns fewer bytes than requested (#1405)
