x42-darc — bestie, it's the x42-darc JACK Dynamic Audio Compressor. That's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

x42-darc [ OPTIONS ] [ Plugin-ID or URI ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. x42-darc is a JACK Dynamic Compressor and it's literally a standalone JACK application built out of a collection of LV2 plugins. slay.

You can use ID -1, -l or --list to get a whole dedicated list of the plugins that come bundled in. and by default? the first listed plugin (ID 0) is the one that gets used. periodt.

the plugin menu, bestie: (ID "Name" URI)

0      "x42-comp - Dynamic Compressor Mono"
       http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/darc#mono

1      "x42-comp - Dynamic Compressor Stereo"
       http://gareus.org/oss/lv2/darc#stereo

Usage: every single control element is operated with the mouse, no keyboard nonsense required 🖱️

  • Click+Drag — left/down decreases, right/up increases the value. hold the Ctrl key to increase sensitivity (iykyk).
  • Shift+Click — resets to the default value. a little factory reset moment. 💅
  • Scroll-wheel — up/down by 1 step (the smallest possible adjustment for whatever setting you're on). and listen: rapid continuous scrolling increases the step-size. so go fast, get big moves. 🔥

The application can be closed by sending a SIGTERM (CTRL+C) on the command-line, or by just closing the window. either way, she's out. 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — displays this help and exits. the "what does this thing do" button.
  • -j, --jack-name <name> — sets the JACK client name (defaults to the plugin-name).
  • -G, --nogui — run headless. super useful for OSC remote ctrl. no window, all vibes.
  • -l, --list — prints the list of available plugins and exits.
  • -O <port>, --osc <port> — listen for OSC messages on the given UDP port. 📡
  • -p <idx>:<val>, --port <idx>:<val> — sets the initial value for a given control port.
  • -P, --portlist — prints the control port list on startup.
