NAME

6       calfjackhost - JACK wrapper for Calf plugins
7

SYNOPSIS

9       calfjackhost [options] plugin[:preset] [!] ...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Calf JACK host application provides a way to use Calf plugins directly,
13       without need for any external host application. It also offers best GUI
14       functionality  (using  GTK+  2  widget set), as there is no restrictive
15       plugin standard getting in a way between GUI and audio processing code.

OPTIONS

19       --client name
20              sets JACK client name (the name calfjackhost uses when register‐
21              ing in JACK)
22
23       --input name
24              name prefix for audio inputs
25
26       --output name
27              name prefix for audio outputs
28
29       --midi name
30              name prefix for MIDI inputs
31
32       --connect-midi client:port
33              automatically connect all MIDI ports to client:port
34
35       --connect-midi !n
36              automatically connect all MIDI ports to system:midi_capture_n
37
38       --version
39              prints a version string (calf some.version.number)
40
41       --help prints a help text
42
43       An exclamation mark (!) in place of plugin name means automatic connec‐
44       tion. If "!" is placed before the first plugin name, the  first  plugin
45       has  its  inputs connected to system:capture_1 and system:capture_2. If
46       it's placed between plugin names, those plugins are connected  together
47       (first  plugin's output is connected to second plugin's input). If it's
48       placed after last plugin name, that plugin's  audio  outputs  are  con‐
49       nected to system:playback_1 and system:playback_2 (first output pair).
50
51       Plugin names (should be self-explanatory):
52        * flanger
53        * filter
54        * reverb
55        * vintagedelay
56        * monosynth
57        * multichorus (chorus effect with multiple voices)
58        * compressor (Thor Harald Johansen's dynamic compressor)
59        *  organ  (polyphonic  synthesizer  emulating tonewheel or solid state
60       organs)
61        * rotaryspeaker (not a faithful emulation, not even close)

EXAMPLES

69       To start monosynth with automatic connection to first system audio out‐
70       put, and no automatic MIDI connection, use:
71
72               calfjackhost monosynth !
73
74       (! means "connect", last "!" means "connect to output")
75
76       Other examples:
77
78               calfjackhost monosynth ! vintagedelay ! flanger ! -M 2
79
80       (runs  monosynth  into vintagedelay and vintagedelay into flanger, then
81       to output; connects monosynth's MIDI input to  JACK's  system:midi_cap‐
82       ture_2)
83
84               calfjackhost "monosynth:Fat Bass"
85
86       (runs  monosynth  with a Fat Bass preset into monosynth, does not auto‐
87       connect)
88
89               calfjackhost ! reverb !
90
91       (takes signal from system:capture_1 and _2, puts it through reverb, and
92       then sends to system:playback_1 and _2)
