Can someone please recommend a program for Linux which
can easily take
presets from one or more existing soundfont files, and compile them into
a new soundfont file?
with about 10 lines of python (plus a few to name the presets you're
after) you can do such tricks with this little helper here:
http://quitte.de/file-formats/SF2.py
at the end of the file it shows how to extract one preset into a
separate .sf2; modification for many presets/sf2 files should be
straightforward.
cheers,
