NAME

       Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface

SYNOPSIS

       qsynth [options] [soundfonts] [midifiles]

DESCRIPTION

       Qsynth  is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt 4 toolkit. Eventually it may evolve into a softsynth manage-
       ment application allowing the user to control and manage a variety of command line softsynth but for the moment it wraps the excellent Flu-
       idSynth.

       -j, --connect-jack-outputs
	      Attempt to connect the jack outputs to the physical ports

       -L, --audio-channels=[num]
	      The number of stereo audio channels [default = 1]

       -G, --audio-groups=[num]
	      The number of audio groups [default = 1]

       -z, --audio-bufsize=[size]
	      Size of each audio buffer

       -c, --audio-bufcount=[count]
	      Number of audio buffers

       -r, --sample-rate=[rate]
	      Set the sample rate

       -R, --reverb=[flag]
	      Turn the reverb on or off [1|0|yes|no|on|off, default = on]

       -C, --chorus=[flag]
	      Turn the chorus on or off [1|0|yes|no|on|off, default = on]

       -g, --gain=[gain]
	      Set the master gain [0 < gain < 10, default = 0.2]

       -o, --option [name=value]
	      Define a setting name=value

       -s, --server
	      Create and start server [default = no]

       -i, --no-shell
	      Don't read commands from the shell [ignored]

       -d, --dump
	      Dump midi router events

       -v, --verbose
	      Print out verbose messages about midi events

       -h, --help

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

       --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)
