Thanks Marcus (and Andreas).
I'll give both of those a try. Is there a way of just getting the preset
no. and name using sf2utils?
The following works, but it's difficult to separate the "name" from
other info
sf2parse filename.sf2 | grep Preset
I get:
Preset[000:056] Trumpet 2 bag(s) from #0
Preset[000:057] Trombone 2 bag(s) from #2
Preset[000:064] Soprano Sax 2 bag(s) from #4
Preset[000:065] Alto Sax 2 bag(s) from #6
Preset[000:066] Tenor Sax 6 bag(s) from #8
Preset[000:068] Oboe 2 bag(s) from #14
Preset[000:071] Clarinet 6 bag(s) from #16
Preset[000:070] Bassoon 3 bag(s) from #22
Preset[000:073] Flute 5 bag(s) from #25
Preset[000:074] Recorder 3 bag(s) from #30
Preset[001:056] Trumpet 2 9 bag(s) from #33
Preset[001:057] Trombone 2 4 bag(s) from #42
Preset[001:060] Solo French Horn 2 bag(s) from #46
Preset EOP
Of course, it can be done, but is there an easier way?

Post by Andreas MüllerPost by Marcus WeselohHey Ben,
there's the sf2utils package: https://pypi.org/project/sf2utils/
I've used this for a while for exactly the same use-case: reading the preset
names and displaying them in a list. It works quite well, but is a little
slow opening Soundfonds with a large number of presets / instruments /
zones.
I've since created my own module that is much faster, as it only reads the
preset names and doesn't load all the information about generators,
https://github.com/midigurdy/mg-core/blob/7af42f4bedc7fd071fab139b21e7444d24e5b361/mgurdy/src/mg/sf2.py#L160
Cheers,
Marcus
And I wrote something in C [1] - if I only had known about sf2utils...

Post by Marcus WeselohPost by Ben GonzalesHi all.
I'm playing around with a headless RPi with fluidsynth and I'm thinking
of incorporating a small display with button controls to select things
like the preset, the octave, transpose, etc. I'd like to be able to
extract the preset names and numbers from the target sf2 file so I could
use them in the display program, but I'm having difficulty finding a
suitable utility.
Any suggestions? Python would be nice...
Ben
