       Extract  samples  from  SoundFont  version  2 (.sf2) files. All extracted samples will be written in .wav
       format. You must at least supply name of the .sf2 input file and  an  output  path  where  all  extracted
       samples  should  be  written  to.   By default sf2extract extracts all samples contained in the SoundFont
       file, even if they are not linked by any instrument in the .sf2 file,  but  you  can  also  extract  only
       particular samples by supplying a list of samples indices at the end of the command line. You can use the
       sf2dump(1) tool to see the list of available samples and their sample indices of a SoundFont file.

       StereoSamples:  Note  that  stereo  samples are always stored as pair of separate two mono samples with
       Sound Font files. Keep that in mind when selecting individual samples by  index.   sf2dump(1)  shows  you
       which  (mono)  sample  is  linked  to which other (mono) sample to form a stereo sample pair.  sf2extract
       automatically detects if one of the samples is part of a stereo pair and automatically extracts  the  two
       as  combined  interleaved  stereo sample data to the output .wav file. Hence it is sufficient to pass the
       index of one of the two (mono) samples of each stereo pair you want to extract.
