unsf (converts SoundFont .sf2 files into GUS-type instrument patches)
UnSF is a tool to convert SoundFont (sf2) files into GUS
patches. libunsf is a library that is used by UnSF.
Some reasons you might want to do such a thing are:
- Your MIDI player can use GUS patches but doesn't know how to read
soundfonts.
- You want a convenient way of substituting patches or reassigning
banks of instruments by editing GUS config files.
- You need to modify patches by changing amplitude, stripping
envelopes, or make other changes that can easily be done by
attaching options in config files.
Note: the set of patches created by unsf will be quite a bit larger
that the original .sf2 file. As an example, FluidR3_GM.sf2 (from
fluid-soundfont) is a 142MB file, and it converts to almost 2GB of
patches (size increased by a factor of 13.5).
