1 .TH "sf2extract" "1" "1 Jul 2015" "libgig @VERSION@" "libgig tools"
2 .SH NAME
3 sf2extract \- Extract samples from SoundFont version 2 (.sf2) files.
4 .SH SYNOPSIS
5 .B sf2extract
6 [ \-v ] SF2FILE DESTDIR [SAMPLENR] [ [SAMPLENR] ... ]
7 .SH DESCRIPTION
8 Extract samples from SoundFont version 2 (.sf2) files. All extracted samples
9 will be written in .wav format. You must at least supply name of the .sf2 input
10 file and an output path where all extracted samples should be written to.
11 By default
12 .B sf2extract
13 extracts all samples contained in the SoundFont file, even if they are not
14 linked by any instrument in the .sf2 file, but you can also extract only
15 particular samples by supplying a list of samples indices at the end of the
16 command line. You can use the
17 .BR sf2dump (1)
18 tool to see the list of available samples and their sample indices of a
19 SoundFont file.
20
21 .B Stereo Samples:
22 Note that stereo samples are always stored as pair of separate two mono samples
23 with Sound Font files. Keep that in mind when selecting individual samples by
24 index.
25 .BR sf2dump (1)
26 shows you which (mono) sample is linked to which other (mono) sample to form a
27 stereo sample pair.
28 .B sf2extract
29 automatically detects if one of the samples is part of a stereo pair and
30 automatically extracts the two as combined interleaved stereo sample data to the
31 output .wav file. Hence it is sufficient to pass the index of one of the
32 two (mono) samples of each stereo pair you want to extract.
