💖 X42-WHIRL 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for x42-whirl, a User Commands situation, and honestly? she's iconic. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

x42-whirl — The B Whirl Speaker 🌀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

x42-whirl [ OPTIONS ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

x42-whirl — JACK x42 Whirl - Rotary Speaker 🎠

so basically, this is a standalone JACK application of the LV2 plugin called "x42 Whirl - Rotary Speaker". she's the plugin, but she got her own apartment and a JACK client and everything. main character energy fr fr 💅

Usage: every single control element? operated with the mouse. yes, the whole vibe is mouse-based. here's the lore:

  • Click+Drag — left/down: decrease, right/up: increase value. Hold the Ctrl key to increase sensitivity. so like, gentle drags for gentle moves, Ctrl for when you're feeling ✨dramatic✨
  • Shift+Click — reset to default value. the "undo my chaos" button, we love her 🙈
  • Scroll-wheel — up/down by 1 step (smallest possible adjustment for given setting). Rapid continuous scrolling increases the step-size. so scroll slow for precision, scroll fast for speedrun mode 🔥
The application can be closed by sending a SIGTERM (CTRL+C) on the command-line or by closing the window. bye bestie 👋

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -h, --help — Display this help and exit. classic. she tells you about herself then leaves 🌈
  • -j, --jack-name <name> — Set the JACK client name (defaults to plugin-name). name your girl whatever you want, or just let her use the plugin name 🎀
  • -G, --nogui — run headless, useful for OSC remote ctrl. no window, no visuals, just vibes 😌
