Change "SoundFonts" to "SoundFonts and SFZ files"?

• May 16, 2017 - 17:01

Could we expand the name of the SoundFonts page so that it includes SFZ files?

"SoundFont" (note capitalization) is the name specifically for the SF2 format. The more generic term "soundfont" is sometimes used to apply to all similar formats, including SFZ. Kind of an unfortunate situation. I'd prefer if there were a more widely accepted generic term. Maybe "sound font" would do? I'd prefer a single generic term over listing the two specific formats, at least for a title. Obviously the body of the article should discuss the two specific formats individually.

"sound sample files" or "instrument sample files" (or file formats for...)?

note: or "libraries for sound-/instrument sample files" (just brainstorming;)
