calfjackhost(1) General Commands Manual calfjackhost(1) NAME 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 -c --client name sets JACK client name (the name calfjackhost uses when registering in JACK) -i --input name name prefix for audio inputs -o --output name name prefix for audio outputs -m --midi name name prefix for MIDI inputs -c --connect-midi client:port automatically connect all MIDI ports to client:port -M --connect-midi !n automatically connect all MIDI ports to system:midi_capture_n -v --version prints a version string (calf some.version.number) -l --load session Loads the session state from a file -s --state session Loads the session state from a file, if such a file exists -L --list List all available plug-ins -h -? --help prints a help text -t --no-tray disable the tray icon on start An exclamation mark (!) in place of plugin name means automatic connection. If "!" is placed before the first plugin name, the first plugin has its in- puts connected to system:capture_1 and system:capture_2. If it's placed be- tween 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): * pulsator (autopanner/tremolo) * ringmodulator * tapesimulator * vinyl * compdelay (compensation delay) * reversedelay * compressor * sidechaincompressor * multibandcompressor * monocompressor * deesser * gate * sidechaingate * multibandgate * limiter * multibandlimiter * sidechainlimiter * transientdesigner * filterclavier (keyboard-controlled tunable filter) * emphasis * vocoder * eq5, eq8, eq12, eq30 * saturator * crusher (bit crusher) * exciter * bassenhancer * stereo * haasenhancer * multispread * mono * xover2, xover3, xover4 (speaker crossovers) * analyzer (spectrum analyzer / spectrogram plugin) * 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_capture_2) calfjackhost "monosynth:Fat Bass" (runs monosynth with a Fat Bass preset into monosynth, does not autocon- nect) calfjackhost ! reverb ! (takes signal from system:capture_1 and _2, puts it through reverb, and then sends to system:playback_1 and _2) Note: none of the automatic connection features will work if autoconnection is disabled for session management purposes.
