💖 X42-SPECTR — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to x42-spectr(1), a User Commands page, and honestly? she's a whole vibe. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

x42-spectr — x42-spectr Analyzer. that's it, that's the name, iconic behavior 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

x42-spectr [ OPTIONS ]

yes queen, brackets mean optional, options are the sprinkles on top 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

x42-spectr — JACK Spectr. it's giving analyzer, it's giving main character energy.

This is a standalone JACK application of the LV2 plugin: "Spectr". so like, same soul, but she got her own apartment and her own window 🏠✨

Usage: every single control element is operated using the mouse. no keyboard shortcuts, no secret handshake, just mouse. here's the whole lore:

  • Click+Drag — left/down: decrease, right/up: increase the value. hold the Ctrl key to increase sensitivity. tiny drags, big moves, iykyk 😭
  • Shift+Click — reset to default value. the "nvm bestie, we're going back to factory settings" move 💀
  • Scroll-wheel — up/down by 1 step (which is the smallest possible adjustment for the given setting). and the fun part: rapid continuous scrolling increases the step-size, so if you go feral on that wheel you get bigger jumps 🔥

The application can be closed by sending a SIGTERM (CTRL+C) on the command-line, or by closing the window. two exits, both valid, no drama 🚪👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

here's the whole menu, every option accounted for, no crumbs left behind:

  • -h, --help — Display this help and exit. the classic "explain yourself" button 💬
  • -j, --jack-name <name> — Set the JACK client name (defaults to plugin-name). name her whatever you want, she's yours now 🎀
  • -G, --nogui — run headless, useful for OSC remote ctrl. no window, just vibes and OSC 🧚
  • -O <port>, --osc <port> — Listen for OSC messages on the given UDP port. slide into her DMs via UDP 📨
  • -p <idx>:<val>, --port <idx>:<val> — Set initial value for given control port. pre-set the vibe before she even shows up ✨
  • -P, --portlist — Print control port list on startup. a little guest list at the door 📋
  • --osc-doc — Print available OSC commands and exit. the OSC cheat sheet, then she leaves, no small talk 📝
  • -V, --version — Print version information and exit. "who are you" "i'm version 0.6.6" "ok bye" 👋
