Hey guys Zephyr Tread here, I'm just wondering if there's any real advantages to using the fruity soundfont player (http://fruityloops.com/documents/soundfontplayer.html) (35$) instead of the free SFZ VSTi. (http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz.htm)
35$ isn't that much, but why spend it if you can have one that works the same and is free? Are there any drawbacks to going with SFZ instead?

Thanks.

The FL soundfont player lets you do fun things in the FL piano roll like slides. It also has easy drag and drop functionality from the FL browser, whereas with sfz you have to create an instance before you can add anything to it. Otherwise there's not a big difference.

I haven't bought the FL Soundfont Player cause I'm broke, but if I wasn't, I would, because of the sliding.
