💖 drumkv1_jack — bestie's guide to the old-school drum-kit sampler 💖

okay so like, this is the manual page for drumkv1_jack, and yes the manual name is literally drumkv1_jack(1) from the General Commands Manual section, we're just folding that in so we can get to the good stuff. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's talk about the command-line options fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

drumkv1_jack [options] [preset-file]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options, and optionally a preset file. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this page documents the command-line options of drumkv1_jack briefly — short and sweet, no yapping.

but what is drumkv1? bestie. it's an old-school drum-kit sampler synthesizer, and it comes with stereo fx. iconic behavior honestly. 🥁✨

🦋 features (the main character list) 🦋

  • a pure stand-alone JACK client — and the way it has JACK-session support, NSM support, and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support?? versatile queen. 👑
  • a LV2 instrument plugin. its URI is literally: http://drumkv1.sourceforge.net/lv2 — bookmark it, iykyk. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

one bullet per option, no skipping, we keep all of them:

  • -g, --no-gui — turns the graphical user interface (GUI) off. bye bye window, hello headless life 🙈
  • -n, --client-name=[label] — sets the JACK client name. the default is drumkv1, in case you were wondering. 🏷️
  • -?, --help — displays help on the command-line options. it's giving "read the room, then read the flags". 📖
  • -v, --version — shows version information. flex the build number, why not. ⭐

🧚 FILES 🧚

your configuration settings live here, no cap:

~/.config/rncbc.org/drumkv1.conf

that's where all the setup hangs out. protect it. 🫶
