💖 gigextract(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libgig tools corner of the group chat — this is the manual page for gigextract, and she is iconic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gigextract — extract samples from Gigasampler (.gig) files 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gigextract [ -v ] GIGFILE DESTDIR [SAMPLENR] [ [SAMPLENR] ... ]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the whole vibe here? we're pulling samples out of Gigasampler (.gig) files. Every single sample that gets extracted is written out in .wav format — no cap, that's just how she works 🍓

You must at minimum hand over two things: the name of the .gig input file, and an output path where all the extracted samples should land. That's the bare minimum, bestie, don't skip it 🙈

By default, gigextract extracts all the samples contained in the Gigasampler file — yes, even the ones that aren't linked by any instrument in the .gig file. She's thorough like that, she leaves nobody behind 💜

But lowkey, if you only want particular samples? You can do that too — just supply a list of sample indices at the end of the command line, and those are the ones she'll extract exclusively. ✨

And how do you even find out what samples exist and what their sample indices are? Use the gigdump(1) tool, she'll show you the full list 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • GIGFILE — filename of the input Gigasampler file 🎀
  • DESTDIR — output path where all samples should be extracted to 📁
  • SAMPLENR — optional index of sample(s) to be exclusively extracted 🔥
  • -v — print version and exit 👋
