All exported .wav files silent after command line sf2 > sfz conversion. GUI version ok

    In an attempt to use the polyphone command line feature to batch convert some sf2 soundfonts to individual sfz instruments, 
    all the the exported .WAV files are silent. 
    They are the correct size and format, but simply silent. 
    This is an example command line export: polyphone -3 -i <file/to/convert> -d <output/directory> -o <output_file_name> -c <configuration> polyphone -3 -i GM.sf2https://www.polyphone.io/en/documentatio…annexes/command-line 
    The sfz instruments and the silent wav files do appear to have the correct parameters like individual sample loop points, key mapping, etc.
    This affects both the latest Windows and Ubuntu versions I tested. 
    I tried multiple configurations for the export options. 
    Performing the same type of export with the GUI versions results in wav files that do contain the original audio. 
    I tested about 20 different sf2 soundfonts.
