SYNTHPOD(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to SYNTHPOD(1) from the General Commands Manual — this page is all about synthpod, a lightweight nonlinear LV2 plugin container. That's the name, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

synthpod_jack [options] [bundle-path]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

synthpod is a lightweight nonlinear LV2 plugin container — aka a host — and it's literally that girl.

It is a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK/NSM session support and JACK AUDIO/MIDI. Yes, all of that.

It is also a first-class LV2 plugin (http://open-music-kontrollers.ch/lv2/synthpod#stereo) — so it's both a stand-alone client and a plugin, main character energy fr fr.
