OPTIONS
How to use Calf plugins:
* LV2 plugins
Calf is installed as calf.lv2 library in your LV2 directory
(typically /usr/lib/lv2). It means that typical LV2 hosts should
be able to find Calf's plugins.
* JACK client application
You can also use Calf plugins as one or more separate applica-
tions, connecting to other applications using JACK Audio Connec-
tion Kit (version 0.103 or newer is required). To run the
client, type:
calfjackhost monosynth !
(! means "connect", last "!" means "connect to output")
Other examples:
calfjackhost monosynth ! vintagedelay ! flanger !
(runs monosynth into vintagedelay and vintagedelay into flanger,
then to output)
calfjackhost ! reverb !
(takes signal from system:capture_1 and _2, puts it through re-
verb, and then sends to system:playback_1 and _2)
