💅 ZRYTHM(1) — the manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is the ZRYTHM(1) page from the User Commands section of the manual, and we're gonna get you fluent in it. pull up a chair 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Zrythm — literally just Zrythm. that's the name. iconic, no notes 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Zrythm is a digital audio workstation, and it was designed to be featureful and easy to use. like, both at once, which is honestly a flex. it's giving "I have unlimited automation options, LV2 plugin support, JACK support and chord assistance" and it is NOT being shy about it 💖

🎀 Usage:

zrythm [OPTION???] [PROJECT-FILE]

Run Zrythm, optionally passing a project file. that's it, that's the whole vibe. (yes, the [OPTION???] has three question marks in it, that's canon, don't come for me 😭)

🦋 Help Options 🦋

these are the "wait, what does this do again?" girlies 🫶

  • -h, --help — Show help options. your first stop, always.
  • --help-all — Show all help options. all of them. the full lore drop.
  • --help-gapplication — Show GApplication options. (GApplication has its own options, and this is how you meet them.)

💅 Application Options 💅

the main character section, honestly. every flag, no skips 🔥

  • -v, --version — Print version information. know what you're running, bestie.
  • --pretty — Print output in user-friendly way. for when you want your terminal to be cute and readable instead of a wall of text.
  • -p, --print-settings — Print current settings. a little peek at how you've got things configured.
  • --reset-to-factory — Reset to factory settings. nuking your customized setup back to defaults — dramatic, but sometimes necessary 💀
  • --audio-backend=BACKEND — Override the audio backend to use.
  • --midi-backend=BACKEND — Override the MIDI backend to use.
  • --dummy — Shorthand for --midi-backend=none --audio-backend=none. no audio, no MIDI, just vibes (and testing, presumably).
  • --buf-size=BUF_SIZE — Override the buffer size to use for the audio backend, if applicable. note the if applicable — not every backend cares.
  • --samplerate=SAMPLERATE — Override the samplerate to use for the audio backend, if applicable. again, if applicable.
  • -o, --output=FILE — File or directory to output to.
  • --cyaml-log-level=LOG-LEVEL — Cyaml log level. yes that's a log level, for cyaml, and that's all it says ✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

the settings you set outside the app, iykyk 🧚

  • LV2_PATH — Specify custom path for scanning LV2 plugins.
