LO10K1(1)

💖 LO10K1 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about lo10k1 — the emu10k1(emu10k2) patch loader client. yes the whole thing. no we're not skipping any of it. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lo10k1 [option...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page is literally just documenting the basics of lo10k1, bestie. that's the whole job.

it was written for the Debian distribution because — and I cannot — the original program does not have a manual page at all. not one. so we made one. you're welcome. 🎀

and lo10k1 is a program that... 🦋

okay that's it, that's the sentence, the original just trails off like that. we're keeping it. iconic behaviour honestly. 🙈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). yes, two. count them. 💅

• -h | --help — prints a short help message 💖
• -l patch_name | --list patch_name — lists some useful information about the patch in file patch_name. and psst — lo10k1 uses patches produced by as10k1 from the alsa-tools package. that's the tea. 🫖
• -p name | --pipe_name name — lo10k1 will use a local named pipe called name to talk to the linker. the default is /tmp/.ld10k1_port. 🧚
• -i --info — prints some info about the card. lowkey not very useful, that's a direct quote from the source of truth, don't @ me. 💀
• -s --setup — clear the DSP. wiping the slate. ✨
• -a patch_name | --add patch_name — loads the patch from file patch_name into the DSP. 🎀
• -d number | --del number — unloads patch number from the DSP. and bestie, to actually obtain those patch numbers, use option --debug 4. iykyk. 🔥
• -q conn_string | --conadd conn_string — connects patches to each other, or to inputs, or to outputs. matchmaker energy. 💜
• -w --condel — deletes a connection. 💔
• --debug number — prints debug information. here's the whole menu, no substitutions:
  1. register information
  2. list constants
  3. list DSP instructions
  4. print TRAM information
  5. list loaded patches
  6. list patch order
  7. list FXs
  8. list inputs
  9. list outputs 100 + number : print information about patch number
• -n --defionames — define default in/out names for the loaded patch. 🌈
• --ctrl — modify control parameters for the loaded patch. 🎛️
• --patch_name — load the patch with this name. ⭐
• --where number — insert the patch before. 📍
• --renam — rename patch, input, output, fx, patch input, patch output. glow-up for your labels. ✨
• --dump — dump the DSP setup to a file, which can be loaded by dl10k1. save it for later, bestie. 🫶
• --host — lo10k1 uses a network socket instead of a named socked (host,port). yes it says "socked", we are not fixing it, it's part of the lore. 💀
• -P path --path path — set the include path. 🦋
• --store file — store the DSP config to a native ld10k1 file. 💾
• --restore — restore the DSP config from a native ld10k1 file. 🔄
• --save_patch — save the patch specified with --where to a file. 📝
• --load_patch — load a patch from a file to the position specified with --where. 📂
• --wait msec — wait for ld10k1 for msec. ⏳
