SF2/XI instrument inspection/conversion utilities + looppoint insertiontools for AIFF/WAV..all for loopedinstrument fanatics

There are many looped instruments out there (.xi/.sf2), and there are many software DAW's (cubase/ableton) and hardware tools (electribe esx/old samplers) which support .wav looppoints. However, there isnt many software out there which uses these features. Also, conversion tools usually cannot be used in batch, which can be a big pita.

The purpose of this package: 

  * convert the free legacy of public domain .xi and .sf2 instruments to newer formats
  * purely noncommercial
  * educational
  * conversion of `royalty-`, `license-free` and/or owned instruments

How it works:

The samples and loopingmetadata are extracted from the instrumentfiles, and converted to raw- and txt-files.
The shellscript 'convert' easifies batchprocessing of directories.
