azr3

AZR3(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   AZR3(1)

NAME

       azr3 - Organ synth with distortion and rotating speakers

SYNOPSIS

       azr3 --help
       azr3 --version
       azr3 [-a PORT|CLIENT] [-j NAME] [-m PORT|CLIENT] [-p NUMBER]

DESCRIPTION

       azr3  is  a port of Rumpelrausch Taips' VST plugin AZR-3 which simulates a drawbar organ with a distorting amplifier and a rotating speaker
       cabinet. This version is a JACK client that can be connected to any other MIDI and audio software using JACK.

	-a, --audio-output=PORT|CLIENT
	      When used, azr3 will try to connect its audio output ports to PORT (if it's a JACK port name) or the first two audio input ports	in
	      CLIENT (if it's a JACK client name).

	-h, --help
	      Display a help text and exit.

	-j, --jack-name=NAME
	      Set  the	name  of  the JACK client. The default is AZR-3. Note that JACK may change this name by e.g. adding a number at the end if
	      needed.

	-m, --midi-input=PORT|CLIENT

	      When used, azr3 will try to connect its MIDI input port to PORT (if it's a JACK port name) or the first MIDI output port	in  CLIENT
	      (if it's a JACK client name).

	-p, --preset=NUMBER
	      Load the preset with the given number instead of the first available one.

       -v, --version
	      Display version information and exit.

       All program options can also be set using environment variables.  The variable names are the same as the long option names with all letters
       in upper case, all - changed to _ and the prefix AZR3_JACK_ added.

       Command line options override environment variables.
