calfjackhost - JACK wrapper for Calf plugins SYNOPSIS
calfjackhost [options] plugin[:preset] [!] ... DESCRIPTION
Calf JACK host application provides a way to use Calf plugins directly, without need for any external host application. It also offers best GUI functionality (using GTK+ 2 widget set), as there is no restrictive plugin standard getting in a way between GUI and audio processing code. OPTIONS
--client name sets JACK client name (the name calfjackhost uses when registering in JACK) --input name name prefix for audio inputs --output name name prefix for audio outputs --midi name name prefix for MIDI inputs --connect-midi client:port automatically connect all MIDI ports to client:port --connect-midi !n automatically connect all MIDI ports to system:midi_capture_n --version prints a version string (calf some.version.number) --help prints a help text An exclamation mark (!) in place of plugin name means automatic connection. If "!" is placed before the first plugin name, the first plugin has its inputs connected to system:capture_1 and system:capture_2. If it's placed between plugin names, those plugins are connected together (first plugin's output is connected to second plugin's input). If it's placed after last plugin name, that plugin's audio outputs are connected to system:playback_1 and system:playback_2 (first output pair). Plugin names (should be self-explanatory): * flanger * filter * reverb * vintagedelay * monosynth * multichorus (chorus effect with multiple voices) * compressor (Thor Harald Johansen's dynamic compressor) * organ (polyphonic synthesizer emulating tonewheel or solid state organs) * rotaryspeaker (not a faithful emulation, not even close) BUGS
Please send bug reports to <wdev@foltman.com>. EXAMPLES
To start monosynth with automatic connection to first system audio output, and no automatic MIDI connection, use: calfjackhost monosynth ! (! means "connect", last "!" means "connect to output") Other examples: calfjackhost monosynth ! vintagedelay ! flanger ! -M 2 (runs monosynth into vintagedelay and vintagedelay into flanger, then to output; connects monosynth's MIDI input to JACK's system:midi_cap- ture_2) calfjackhost "monosynth:Fat Bass" (runs monosynth with a Fat Bass preset into monosynth, does not autoconnect) calfjackhost ! reverb ! (takes signal from system:capture_1 and _2, puts it through reverb, and then sends to system:playback_1 and _2) SEE ALSO

LV2FILE(1) General Commands Manual LV2FILE(1) NAME
lv2file - Apply LV2 effects to audio files SYNOPSIS
lv2file -l|--list -n|--nameports PLUGIN -i INFILE -o OUTFILE [ OPTIONS ] PLUGIN DESCRIPTION
lv2file is aprogram which you can use to apply effects to your audio files without much hassle. Possible use cases are: * To apply an effect without having to open a GUI or start a project. * To apply effects to a large number of files, or in an automated manner. * A deterministic environment to debug a plugin. * Audio editing in a command-line only environment lv2file uses the LV2 plugin format (http://lv2plug.in/) for the effects it uses. OPTIONS
lv2file follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. -l, --list List and number all available plugins. -n --nameports PLUGIN List all the input and control ports for the specified plugin. -i FILE Input the audio from a given FILE. Most common sampled audio formats are supported. -o FILE Output to given FILE. -c, --connect CHANNEL:PORT Connect the channel CHANNEL in the input file to the audio port PORT of the plugin. If you connect multiple channels to the same port, they will be mixed together. The -c option is often not necessary, as lv2file will try to guess how you would like to connect the ports. It is possible to run multiple instances of a plugin using the syntax "-c 5:2.left" which, for example, would connect the fifth channel of audio to the port labeled "left" in the second copy of the plugin. You don't need to specify how many plugins to run, lv2file automatically makes enough according to the connections you make. -p, --parameters PORT:VALUE Pass values to the control ports of the plugin, essentially telling the effect how to handle the audio. PORT is the name of the control port, and VALUE is the value to set it to. For example "-p volume:1" sets the effects "volume" control to 1. You should note that because lv2file uses LV2 plugins, the VALUES will always be floating point numbers. It is not possible to vary a parameter with time. It is also not possible to have different control values for multiple plugin instances. Instead, split up the channels of your audio files, and process them in batches whose parameters are all the same. [ -m --mono ] Mix down all of the channels together and pass them to the plugin. This will only work if the plugin has only a single audio input. This is to be used instead of manually specifying connections. [ -b, --blocksize N ] The size of the chunks the audio is processed in. This might have implications for speed of processing. N is measured in frames, not samples. The default is 512. [ --ignore-clipping ] By default, lv2file will check every sample for clipping and will warn the user if any clipping occurs. However, if know that the effect won't produce clipping, or you don't care if it does, you can use this option to turn off the check for clipping. This will make lv2file run slightly faster. AUTHOR
