.SH NAME
gigextract \- Extract samples from Gigasampler (.gig) files.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gigextract
[ \-v ] GIGFILE DESTDIR [SAMPLENR] [ [SAMPLENR] ... ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Extract samples from Gigasampler (.gig) files. All extracted samples will be
written in .wav format. You must at least supply name of the .gig input file and
an output path where all extracted samples should be written to. By default
.B gigextract
extracts all samples contained in the Gigasampler file, even if they are not
linked by any instrument in the .gig file, but you can also extract only
particular samples by supplying a list of samples indices at the end of the
command line. You can use the
.BR gigdump (1)
tool to see the list of available samples and their sample indices of a
Gigasampler file.
