I have some questions about soundfonts in Linux, I will start with this odd request first.
As far as I know, soundfonts do not provide any metadata themselves (if I am wrong please let me know), I imagine a program must open/analyze them and generate info about what they contain. For example what Polyphone does.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any COMMAND LINE based programs that can quickly analyze soundfonts and generate some information about what they contain?
Information such as.....
-How many banks soundfont contains
-How many patches soundfont contains
-How many samples soundfont contains
-First patch name / patch name regardless of patch number if soundfont only contains one patch
-How many velocity layers instruments contain (obviously all have a minimum of 1 layer)
-Sample/Bit Rate used
-Etc.
I do not think anything like this exists but just wanted to make sure.
Again I am aware of Polyphone, for this post I am specifically asking about any COMMAND LINE based programs.
Future posts of mine will be about GUI based applications.
Thank you for any information shared
