ams - A software synthesizer modeled after modular patching synthesizers SYNOPSIS
ams [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
The AlsaModularSynth (AMS) is a software synthesizer designed after the great analog modular synths of the 1960s. It employs virtual con- trol voltages (VC) for each module's parameter control, using the the Moog synthesizer's 1V/oct logarithmic control scale for its oscilla- tor and filter functions. Following the modular synth model AMS supplies the user with a variety of sound-producing and sound-processing software modules such as digital oscillators, filters, amplifiers, and DSP effects. These modules are linked together (patched) to create complex audio synthesis networks. These network patches can be played in realtime via MIDI or internal control structures, and they may be saved and reloaded at will. OPTIONS
Runtime options for AMS are shown here with their default values in brackets. --jack Enable JACK I/O --in <num> Number of JACK input ports --out <num> Number of JACK output ports --poly <num> Polyphony [1] --periodsize <frames> Period size [1024] --frag <num> Number of fragments [2] --rate <samples/s> Sample rate [44100] --edge <0...10> VCO edge [1.0] --soundcard <plug> Soundcard [plughw:0,0] --preset <file> Preset file --presetpath <path> Preset path --nogui Start without GUI FILES
Numerous example patches can be found in /usr/share/ams or /usr/local/share/ams. Tutorial documentation is available at http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/alsamodularsynth_doc.html. BUGS

JACK_NETSOURCE(1) General Commands Manual JACK_NETSOURCE(1) NAME
jack_netsource - Netjack Master client for one slave SYNOPSIS
jack_netsource [ -H hostname ] [ options ] DESCRIPTION
jack_netsource The Master side of a netjack connection. Represents the slave jackd -dnet in the master jack graph. Most connection parame- ters are configured via the netsource, and the slave will set itself up according to the commandline option given to jack_netsource. Netjack allows low latency audio connections over general IP networks. When using celt for compression, it is even possible to establish transatlantic links, with latencies not much over the actual ping time. But the main usecase is of course a LAN, where it can achieve one jack period of latency. OPTIONS
