Re: [fluid-dev] Getting all instrument names from a loaded soundfont file

[Reinhold Hoffmann]

Hi Kjetil,

Thanks for the immediate response. libgig and the code sample really looks
good, simple and easy. However, libgig is under the GPL license. Our
software is a commercial software where we use the libfluidsynth library
strictly under the LGPL license. libgig does not offer the LGPL license but
only the GPL license which we therefore cannot use.

Reinhold

the instrument names of the soundfont samples can be obtained after a
soundfont file is loaded with fluid_synth_sfload to a fluidsynth
synthesizer? It looks as if those sample names are handled internally but I
am not sure if those instrument sample names can be read using the public
interface.

libgig has a pretty clear interface to parse sf2 files

This is from sf2dump.cpp in libgig:

void PrintPeresets(sf2::File* sf) {
    cout << "Presets (" << sf->GetPresetCount() << "): " << endl;
    for (int i = 0; i < sf->GetPresetCount(); i++) { /* exclude the
terminal header - EOP */
        sf2::Preset* p = sf->GetPreset(i);
        cout << "\t" << p->Name << " (Preset: " << p->PresetNum << ",
Bank: " << p->Bank;
        if (p->pGlobalRegion) PrintRegion(-1, p->pGlobalRegion);

        for (int j = 0; j < p->GetRegionCount(); j++) {
            PrintRegion(j, p->GetRegion(j));
        }
        cout << endl;
       cout << endl;
    }
}


void PrintInstruments(sf2::File* sf) {
    cout << "Instruments (" << sf->GetInstrumentCount() << "): " << endl;
    for (int i = 0; i < sf->GetInstrumentCount(); i++) {
        sf2::Instrument* instr = sf->GetInstrument(i);
        cout << "Instrument bag: " << instr->InstBagNdx << ")" << endl;
        cout << "\t    Regions (" << instr->GetRegionCount() << ")" << endl;

        if (instr->pGlobalRegion) PrintRegion(-1, instr->pGlobalRegion);

        for (int j = 0; j < instr->GetRegionCount(); j++) {
            PrintRegion(j, instr->GetRegion(j));
        }
       cout << "\t" << instr->Name << " (";
        cout << endl;
    }
}

To find out which samples are used in instruments and presets, you
look at the regions:

void PrintRegion(int idx, sf2::Region* reg) {
    if (idx == -1) cout << "\t\tGlobal Region " << endl;
    else cout << "\t\tRegion " << idx << endl;
    sf2::Sample* s = reg->GetSample();
    if (s != NULL) {
        cout << "\t\t    Sample: " << s->Name << ", Fine Tune: " <<
reg->fineTune;
        ...
        cout << endl;
    }
    ...
}

void PrintSamples(sf2::File* sf) {
    cout << "Samples (" << sf->GetSampleCount() << "): " << endl;
    for (int i = 0; i < sf->GetSampleCount(); i++) {
        sf2::Sample* s = sf->GetSample(i);
        cout << "\t" << s->Name << " (Depth: " << ((s->GetFrameSize()
/ s->GetChannelCount()) * 8);
        ...
    }
}
