ferraus sounds list
List installed sounds, or what a folder contains
Synopsis
ferraus sounds list [options]
What it does
Without --path, lists installed sounds and everything in --sound-path folders. With --path, shows what that folder contains (CLAP/VST3 plugins, SF2, SFZ, impulse responses) with the category ferraus inferred for each: keys, strings, guitar, bass, drums, synth, pad, brass, winds, vocal, fx.
Examples
Installed sounds and sound-path folders

Only installed keyboard sounds (pianos, electric pianos, organs)
