Well the first thing you wanna do is record it to the computer, preferably digitally by plugging wires to the sound card that way you can get every bit of quality, I am not sure of what the xv2800 has but anything connection would be great even a headphone wire connection.
Next use a program like Acid and record the file, its best to record all sounds in long file that way the sounds are recorded at the same level and have the same fx's to them,
next save your chopped up files to .wav and name them recognizable name ex. PianoA# or sommin like that.
Next you'll need a Soundfont editor like Vienna Soundfont editor, a link should be on the front page of illmuzik, or you can search for its free, and the program is a piece of cake to figure out, so theres no need for me to get into that. Its a matter of just dragging the .wav files to the program, and choosing which note triggers each .wav individually, also note its best to keep your .sf2's small no more than two or three octaves of sounds, they'll load quicker and leave more memory for the sequencer, once finished save to.sf2 and you'll have a brand new soundfont.

In addition to Krzy's post, I previously learned, that if you do not have a Creative soundcard, there is a chance that Vienna doesn't work.

it woun't work without a soundblaster compatible. And if you save that long wav file, it's faster to put in in a slicer program like FL slicer, to chop your samples. It's more accurate but longer to do them the regular way.

If you don't have the right card, you can always make a big file to slice and once you slice it, it will automatically route each slice to it's own key. It's not a soundfont, but will serve the same purpose. If you can find a way to save loop points inside of the slices you'll be the girl Diva. I don't know if that last part is possible, but it's worth a look into.
