SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       This manual page documents briefly the qjackctl command.   This  manual
14       page  was written for the Debian distribution because the original pro‐
15       gram does not have a manual page.

17
18       qjackctl  is used for controlling the Jack Audio Connection Kit  (JACK)
19       and  as a patchbay for ALSA MIDI devices. Qjackctl also has support for
20       the JACK transport control protocol, so you can use  it  to  start  and
21       stop  the  JACK  transport.  Once you start qjackctl, you get presented
22       with a single GUI window, the buttons  are  self-explanatory  and  have
23       tooltips.
