How To Fix sf3convert: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu sf3convert is provided by sf3convert package.

sf3convert is:

The sf3convert tool can be used to convert an SF2 SoundFont into SF3 format, or into C code for embedding into a binary.

The SF3 SoundFont format is the same as SF2, except it uses an OGG container instead of WAV for the patches contained in it. Current synthesisers, such as MuseScore and FluidSynth, expect the Vorbis codec to be used, which is lossy; hence, an SF3 SoundFont is considered to have a corresponding SF2 one as source, and to be compiled via this tool.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install sf3convert

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

sudo apt -y install sf3convert
