💖 gjacktransport(1) — JACK transport control 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is gjacktransport, section 1 of the manual, and she is the JACK transport control application. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gjacktransport [options]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. one binary, some options, boom 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: gjacktransport is a tool that gives you graphical control over the JACK Audio Connection Kit's transport mechanism, and it does it through a dynamic graphical slider. yes, a slider. she's serving interface. she's giving "drag me and the whole timeline moves" 🦋

in other words (and the original literally says this, so i'm keeping it): this software lets you seek Audio/Video media when they're being played along JACK transport. scrub, jump, vibe-check your position in the timeline. iconic behavior honestly.

and the features?? bestie, she has features:

  • customizable keyboard shortcuts ⌨️
  • custom start/end markers for the transport slider, in various units 📏
  • memory presets for start/end markers 💾
  • auto-zoom and reposition slider 🔍
  • flexible layout & window 🪟
  • save and restore settings 🫶
  • (optional) session-management via LASH 🧚

and who is she for? she's intended for JACK apps that do not themselves provide a timeline (fi. ecasound, xjadeo,..) — and she also works to supplement other apps which do have one (fi. ardour, hydrogen, seq24,..). so like, everybody's invited to the party. no gatekeeping. periodt 💜

👑 OPTIONS 👑

listen, this page isn't gonna list them all out for you, and that's not me being lazy, that's literally what the manpage says:

  • run gjacktransport --help for a list of options
💀 yes fr fr, that's the entire OPTIONS section. go ask the binary herself, she'll tell you everything.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • @sysconfdir@/gjacktransportrc

that's her config file, that's where the settings live when you save and restore them. protect her at all costs 🙈
