💖 X42-DPL 💖 (section 1, User Commands, bestie)

okay so real talk: x42-dpl is a JACK Peak Limiter, and it's about to be your new main character. she's a standalone app, she lives in your terminal, and she's here to make sure nothing in your signal chain ever clips. periodt. 🔥

✨ NAME ✨

x42-dpl — x42-dpl JACK Peak Limiter. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

x42-dpl — JACK Peak Limiter. iconic behaviour, no notes. 🎀

So basically this is a standalone JACK application built out of a whole collection of LV2 plugins. she's the extroverted version of the plugin family, out here running on her own.

Wanna see the whole lineup? use ID -1, -l or --list and you get a dedicated list of all the included plugins. and by default? the first listed plugin — ID 0 — is the one she picks. 💁‍♀️

Here's the full roster of available plugins: (ID "Name" URI)

🖱️ Usage 🖱️

ngl every single control element is operated using the mouse. that's the whole vibe. here's the cheat sheet:

  • Click+Drag — left/down: decrease, right/up: increase value. hold the Ctrl key to increase sensitivity. (yes bestie, hold ctrl for the ✨precision✨)
  • Shift+Click — reset to default value. a little factory-reset moment, we love her. 🫶
  • Scroll-wheel — up/down by 1 step (smallest possible adjustment for given setting). and rapid continuous scrolling increases the step-size — so if you go feral on that wheel she speeds up with you. 😭

And when you're done? the application can be closed by sending a SIGTERM (CTRL+C) on the command-line, or by closing the window. two ways out, both valid. 🦋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — Display this help and exit. the "bestie explain" button. 💖
  • -j, --jack-name <name> — Set the JACK client name (defaults to plugin-name). give her a name, she deserves one. 👑
  • -G, --nogui — run headless, useful for OSC remote ctrl. no window, all business. ✨
  • -l, --list — Print list of available plugins and exit. window shopping, but make it quick. 🛍️
  • -O <port>, --osc <port> — Listen for OSC messages on the given UDP port. remote control era. 🎛️
  • -p <idx>:<val>, --port <idx>:<val> — Set initial value for given control port. starting values, your call. 💅
  • -P, --portlist — Print control port list on startup. receipts, printed. 🧾
  • --osc-doc — Print available OSC commands and exit. the OSC lore, documented. 📜
  • -V, --version — Print version information and exit. who is she? 💁‍♀️
