💖 gigmerge — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a libgig tool, and it does exactly what the name says: gigmerge merges several Gigasampler (.gig) files into one single Gigasampler file. one file to rule them all, no cap. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gigmerge [ -v ] GIGFILE1 GIGFILE2 [ ... ] NEWGIGFILE

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so you hand it a whole lil list of Gigasampler (.gig) files, and it takes all their content and merges it into one brand new single Gigasampler file. it's giving "combine all my faves into one" energy fr fr. 🫶

⚠️ okay bestie important heads up: there is no check for duplicate (equivalent) samples yet. that means if, for example, 2 input files use the exact same sample, then that sample will exist twice in the output file. so it's lowkey not deduping anything, it's just gluing stuff together. iykyk 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • GIGFILE1 — filename of input Gigasampler file
  • GIGFILE2 — filename of input Gigasampler file
  • NEWGIGFILE — filename of merged output Gigasampler file
  • -v — print version and exit ✨

and yes, the [ ... ] in the synopsis means you can keep piling on more input files, they're all gonna get merged into that one NEWGIGFILE at the end. 🌈
