Indeed. So the solution I suggested is storing this loop and tuning information in a separate description file and then designing a system to automatically generate the SF2 out of this file and the WAVs, as if you were compiling a binary out of source code files. This could be done perhaps by simply maintaining the library in SFZ format and manually using Polyphone's GUI to make the conversion to SF2. Or maybe a simple command-line SFZ to SF2 converter, perhaps supporting only the minimal features necessary for this particular library to keep things simple, could be developed using code from one of the projects I cited. Just brainstorming a bit.
