✨ X42-METER(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for x42-meter — it's a User Command, it lives in section 1, and it's literally the JACK Audio Meter Collection. let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

x42-meter — JACK Audio Meter Collection

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

x42-meter — JACK Meter Collection, yes we're saying it twice because it's that iconic 💅

So basically: this is a standalone JACK application made out of a whole collection of LV2 plugins. If you wanna see the dedicated list of what's inside, use ID -1, -l, or --list. And if you just don't say anything? By default the first listed plugin (ID 0) is the one you get. no thoughts, just defaults ✨

List of available plugins, formatted as (ID "Name" URI):

🌈 Usage 🌈

Every single control element? Operated with the mouse. periodt 🖱️

  • Click+Drag — left/down decreases, right/up increases the value. Hold the Ctrl key to increase sensitivity. (yes, ctrl = extra precision, iykyk)
  • Shift+Click — reset to default value. the little undo button of your dreams 🫶
  • Scroll-wheel — up/down by 1 step (that's the smallest possible adjustment for whatever setting you're on). And if you scroll rapidly and continuously? The step-size increases. go off, speed-scroller 🔥

To close the app you can send a SIGTERM (CTRL+C) on the command-line, or just close the window. both valid, both iconic 💖
