Samplers & samples • Re: ConvertWithMoss

I've used it before trying to convert files with mixed results. I tried it today earlier making an sfz for a group of wav files. The correct note was detected. It also filled in lokey and hikey so the in between notes with no dedicated wav were filled, It fills in offset, attack and release and best of all it detected loop points. Giving an example of a region

<region>sample=Cyclick_TP Med Samples/Cyclick_TP Med G3.wavpitch_keycenter=67lokey=67 hikey=68offset=0 end=184353ampeg_attack=0.0 ampeg_release=0.7loop_mode=loop_continuous loop_start=71142 loop_end=88398

This is from the manual about what it detects from wav files

3.19
WAV files
If WAV is selected as the source format, all WAV files located in the same folder are considered as a part
of one multisample. You can also select a top folder. If you do so, all sub-folders are checked for potential
multisample folders.
First, all WAV files of a folder are checked if they contain instrument chunks. If this is the case they are
used to create the layout of the multi-sample (range and velocity splits as well as gain and pitch settings).
If no such information is available a clever algorithm tries to detect the necessary key range and velocity
information from the names of the WAV files. Furthermore, the algorithm tries to detect as much metadata
as possible from the WAV files:
• Notes are first detected from the sample chunk. If none is present, different parser settings are applied
on the file name to detect a note name (or MIDI note value).
• A category is extracted from the file name as well based on a list of several synonyms and abbreviations
(e.g. Solo as a synonym for Lead). If this fails the same logic is applied to the folder names (e.g. you
might have sorted your lead sounds in a folder called Lead).
• Characterizations like hard are extracted as well with a similar algorithm as for the category.
Metadata information is retrieved from Broadcast Audio Extension chunks in the WAV files. If noch such
chunks are present an automatic detection is applied

There is more info in the pdf that is found at the link in the OP. Looks like it can save a lot of typing initially setting up sfz files.
