Compilation
Dependencies
- Qt >= 5.6
- libsndfile
- libogg
- libvorbis
$ make release
Usage Example:
This compresses the Fluid sound font from 148 MBytes to 20 MBytes.
sf3convert -z FluidR3.SF2 mops.sf3
The compressed sound font has the major version number 3. Its non standard and can be used only (so far) by MuseScore.
TODO:
Stereo samples are compressed as two single streams instead of compressing them as stereo ogg vorbis streams. This may be less optimal.
