✨ X42-STEPSEQ ✨

okay bestie, buckle up — this is the manual page for x42-stepseq, living in the User Commands section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

x42-stepseq — the x42 Step Sequencer. that's it, that's the name, iconic behaviour honestly 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

x42-stepseq [ OPTIONS ]

literally just run it with whatever options you vibe with 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

x42-stepseq — JACK MIDI Step Sequencer8x8 🥁✨

so like. this is a standalone JACK application of the LV2 plugin: "MIDI Step Sequencer8x8". same brain, different outfit. the plugin got a whole independent app era and honestly? main character energy 👑

Usage: every single control element is operated with the mouse. no keyboard shortcuts arc, just vibes and clicking 🖱️💫

  • Click+Drag — left/down makes the value decrease, right/up makes it increase. hold the Ctrl key to bump up the sensitivity (iykyk, precision mode fr fr) 🎯
  • Shift+Click — resets to the default value. we love a clean slate moment 🙈✨
  • Scroll-wheel — goes up/down by 1 step (that's the smallest possible adjustment for whatever setting you're on). and here's the fun part: rapid continuous scrolling increases the step-size. go fast, get big jumps, periodt 💀

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

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -h, --help — shows you this help text and dips out. bye 👋
  • -j, --jack-name <name> — sets the JACK client name (defaults to plugin-name, in case you were wondering) 🎛️
  • -G, --nogui — runs headless, which is super useful for OSC remote ctrl. no window, all business 💅
  • -O <port>, --osc <port> — listens 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 📋
  • --osc-doc — prints all available OSC commands and exits 📜
  • -V, --version — prints version information and exits 🏷️
