💖 gig2mono — libgig tools, section 1 🎀

okay bestie, so this is gig2mono(1), one of the libgig tools, and it's literally the glow-up machine that turns your stereo Gigasampler files into mono. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gig2mono — Converts Gigasampler (.gig) files from stereo to mono. periodt. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gig2mono [ -v ] [ -r ] [ --left | --right | --mix ] FILE_OR_DIR1 [
FILE_OR_DIR2 ... ]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the vibe: you hand it a whole list of Gigasampler (.gig) files and/or directories as arguments, and it converts the individual Gigasampler files from stereo to mono audio format. that's the whole main character moment. 👑

if you give it directories? it scans them for .gig files. cute, right? 🧚

⚠️ okay IMPORTANT bestie — the Gigasampler files are directly modified, not copied. not me messing up your files because you didn't read this. 😭 there's no undo. fr fr.

Gigasampler files that are already in mono format get ignored — no notes, they're already slaying, we leave them alone. 💅

and since at this point the Gigasampler format only defines mono and stereo samples, this program currently also assumes all samples in the .gig files you provide to be either mono or stereo. it's not being weird, that's just the format. iykyk. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • FILE_OR_DIR1 — Gigasampler (.gig) filename or directory 🎀
  • FILE_OR_DIR2 — Gigasampler (.gig) filename or directory 🎀
  • -v — Print version and exit. short king behaviour, honestly. 💫
  • -r — Recurse through subdirectories. go deeper, bestie. 🌀
  • --mix — Convert by mixing left & right audio channels together (default). this is the one it does automatically if you don't pick anything. 👑
  • --left — Convert by using left audio channel data. left girlies rise. 🫶
  • --right — Convert by using right audio channel data. right girlies, your moment. 💖
