💖 JALV.GTK 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual — it's jalv.gtk(1), and it's giving very specific main character energy: it's how you take an LV2 plugin and just... run it as a JACK application?? but with the Gtk version of the interface. iconic behavior honestly. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

jalv.gtk — Run an LV2 plugin as a JACK application (Gtk version). no cap, that's literally the whole gig. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jalv.gtk [OPTION]... PLUGIN_URI

so you hand it some *OPTION*s if you're feeling fancy, and then you MUST hand it a PLUGIN_URI because that's the whole point bestie 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here's the full menu, no skips, no cuts, we read every single one:

  • -b SIZE — Buffer size for the whole plugin <=> UI communication situation. keep the gossip flowing, but in chunks. 💌
  • -c SYM=VAL — Set a control value. like for example "vol=1.4" — you literally just say SYM equals VAL and it's done. 🎛️
  • -d, --dump — Dump the plugin <=> UI communication. all of it. spilled. 💀
  • -U URI — Load the UI with the given URI. you're choosing the UI yourself, queen. 👑
  • -g, --generic-ui — Use the Jalv generic UI and not the plugin UI. sometimes the generic one just hits different. ✨
  • -h, --help — Print the command line options. the classic. when in doubt, -h it out. 🙈
  • -l DIR, --load DIR — Load state from state directory. the DIR is doing the heavy lifting here, respect it. 📂
  • -p, --print-controls — Print control output changes to stdout. so you can literally watch the changes scroll by. obsessed. 🍓
  • -t, --trace — Print trace messages from the plugin. it's telling you everything, and honestly? we're listening. 🧚
