  I'd like to convert between SFZ and SF2 via command-line. Is that possible with Polyphone?

  Unfortunately, there is no command line on polyphone, except for the external tool to edit samples.
  
  As a workaround, you can open each sf2/sfz and choose export soundfont. You select the format.
  
  I agree, it would be convenient to convert sfz to sf2 on command line as I only have sf2 players.

  Any news on this (having more command line options) ?

  Yes there is! But I never documented it. Here are command lines to run in a powershell that convert from sf2 to sfz and from sfz to sf2:cd C:\Program Files\Polyphone .\polyphone.exe -3 -i C:\Path\To\Your\Soundfont.sf2 .\polyphone.exe -1 -i C:\Path\To\Your\Soundfont.sfzYou can set the output directory with "-d" and the output file with "-o".
  -1 is for a conversion to sf2
  -2 is for a conversion to sf3
  -3 is for a conversion to sfz
  
  I'll create a page in the documentation for the command lines.

  Does this work for Mac as well?

  Yes
  On mac you can write "polyphone -h" or maybe "man polyphone" and the documentation should appear.
