I don't have time to contribute at the moment, but I would like to be
able to create soundfonts from scripts. A commandline tool would help
with that. On Thursday 10 March 2005 11:51 am, Sean Bolton

swami also uses a library (packaged handily seperately) called
libinstpatch that seems to be just what we need: a library for
manipulating SF2 files. I'm about to have a closer look, but it seems
like this will make a nice back-end and will make this project
practically an accessible implementation of swami. On Mar 9, 2005, at 6:06 PM, Mark Constable

Takashi Iwai included two utilities in awesfx 0.4.2, one which
dumped the metadata of a SF2 to a text file, and another
which compiled the (possibly modified) text file and original
SF2 into a new SF2. With it you could make minor edits
to a soundfont from the command line. As-is, it's not going
to help build a soundfont from single wave files, but it
might be a great starting point for building such a tool.

Sounds like all we'd need for comping together instruments though.
