Samplers & samples • Re: Command line application that can generate info of soundfonts

I was able to test this out a while back, did not mention because it did not appear that any other users were interested in something like this.
If anyone reads this in the future, this command line application generates a ton of very specific information, but unfortunately not more simpler broader information that I was looking for.
So all depends what you are looking for, if worth trying or not.

I use fluidsynth for that. Example:

Code:

fluidsynth -a alsa "/usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2"

(the "-a alsa" is to get rid of jack error messages)

Then to list on Fluid's command line the [inst]ruments in Sound Font 1 (numbering starts at 1):

Code:

inst 1

What you see are bank-preset numbers and descriptions, example:

Code:

inst 1000-000 Yamaha Grand Piano000-001 Bright Yamaha Grand...128-048 Orchestra Kit

Is that what you were looking for?
