   The user files path is a single location where you can store your external SFZ libraries (anything that is in the SFZ format but not an ARIA-based sample library).

   The converted files path is a single location where you can store SFZ files which were converted from a different format (SF2, DLS, Acidized wav). Plogue's Sforzando player includes a converter utility for these other formats.
