calfjackhost - JACK wrapper for Calf plugins

       Please send bug reports to <wdev@foltman.com>.

       Calf  JACK  host  application  provides a way to use Calf plugins directly, without need for any external
       host application. It also offers best GUI functionality (using  GTK+  2  widget  set),  as  there  is  no
       restrictive plugin standard getting in a way between GUI and audio processing code.

       To start monosynth with automatic connection  to  first  system  audio  output,  and  no  automatic  MIDI
       connection, use:

               calfjackhost monosynth !

       (! means "connect", last "!" means "connect to output")

       Other examples:

               calfjackhost monosynth ! vintagedelay ! flanger ! -M 2

       (runs  monosynth  into  vintagedelay  and vintagedelay into flanger, then to output; connects monosynth's
       MIDI input to JACK's system:midi_capture_2)

               calfjackhost "monosynth:Fat Bass"

       (runs monosynth with a Fat Bass preset into monosynth, does not autoconnect)

               calfjackhost ! reverb !

       (takes signal from system:capture_1 and _2, puts it through reverb, and then sends  to  system:playback_1
       and _2)

       Note:  none  of  the  automatic  connection  features will work if autoconnection is disabled for session
       management purposes.

-c--clientname
              sets JACK client name (the name calfjackhost uses when registering in JACK)

       -i--inputname
              name prefix for audio inputs

       -o--outputname
              name prefix for audio outputs

       -m--midiname
              name prefix for MIDI inputs

       -c--connect-midiclient:port
              automatically connect all MIDI ports to client:port-M--connect-midi!n
              automatically connect all MIDI ports to system:midi_capture_n-v--version
              prints a version string (calf some.version.number)

       -l--loadsession
              Loads the session state from a file

       -s--statesession
              Loads the session state from a file, if such a file exists

       -L--list
              List all available plug-ins

       -h-?--help
              prints a help text

       -t--no-tray
              disable the tray icon on start

       An  exclamation  mark (!) in place of plugin name means automatic connection. If "!" is placed before the
       first plugin name, the first plugin has its inputs connected to system:capture_1 and system:capture_2. If
       it's placed between plugin names,  those  plugins  are  connected  together  (first  plugin's  output  is
       connected  to  second plugin's input). If it's placed after last plugin name, that plugin's audio outputs
       are connected to system:playback_1 and system:playback_2 (first output pair).

       Plugin names (should be self-explanatory):
        * pulsator (autopanner/tremolo)
        * ringmodulator
        * tapesimulator
        * vinyl

        * deesser
        * gate
        * sidechaingate
        * multibandgate
        * limiter
        * multibandlimiter
