💖 x42-tuna — JACK Music Instrument Tuner 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is x42-tuna, a manual page from the User Commands section of the Unix manual (that's the (1) in the name, iykyk), and it is literally the tuner of your dreams. no cap. 🎸✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

yes that's it, that's the whole summoning ritual 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so x42-tuna is the JACK Instrument Tuner ✨

it's a standalone JACK application built out of a whole collection of LV2 plugins. if you wanna see the dedicated list of included plugins, hit up the ID -1, or -l, or --list. and by default? it just uses the first listed plugin, which is ID 0. easy peasy 🍓

here's the list of available plugins, formatted as (ID, "Name", URI):

🖱️ how to actually use it (Usage) 🖱️

all the control elements are operated with the mouse, and honestly the mouse is the main character here:

  • Click+Drag — left/down decreases the value, right/up increases it. hold the Ctrl key to bump up the sensitivity 👑
  • Shift+Click — resets to the default value, a little factory reset moment 💅
  • Scroll-wheel — goes up/down by 1 step (which is the smallest possible adjustment for the given setting). and ooh, rapid continuous scrolling increases the step-size — she's fast, she's furious 🔥
and to close the whole thing down? either send a SIGTERM (that's CTRL+C on the command-line) or just close the window. both valid, both slay 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — displays this help and then dips out 👋
  • -j, --jack-name <name> — sets the JACK client name (defaults to plugin-name, so if you don't name her she names herself 💁‍♀️)
  • -G, --nogui — runs headless. very useful for OSC remote ctrl. no window, all vibes 🧚
  • -l, --list — prints the list of available plugins and exits
  • -O <port>, --osc <port> — listens for OSC messages on the given UDP port 📡
  • -p <idx>:<val>, --port <idx>:<val> — sets the initial value for the given control port
  • -P, --portlist — prints the control port list on startup
  • --osc-doc — prints all the available OSC commands and exits 📜
  • -V, --version — prints version information and exits
