NAME
tapiir - A software multitap delay with realtime I/O
SYNOPSIS
tapiir [--alsa [alsa_options] | [--jack [jack_options] ] [-h | --help] tapiir_alsa [alsa_options] tapiir_jack [jack_options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the tapiir application.
- tapiir is a software multitap delay with realtime audio
- I/O. It's internal processing modules consist of six delay-lines,
- each with a mixer at it's input and a gain control at it's out
- put, and a stereo output mixer. Stereo input from an external
- source, typically a musical instrument, is routed to all input
- mixers. In addition to this, the output of each delay line is al
- so routed to the input mixers of all delay lines, including it
- self.
- For a detailed explanation of the multitap delay tech
- nique, and a more comprehensive description of tapiir capabili
- ties and internals, see the document referenced in the SEE ALSO
- section below.
- A set of example configuration files are provided in the
- /usr/share/doc/tapiir/examples directory, which offer a good
- overview of the things you can achieve using tapiir, and also
- provide a good starting point to learn to use it.
- To run tapiir, you need either the ALSA sound system or
- the JACK audio server, and the audio from your musical interpre
- tation fed into your soundcard.
OPTIONS
- This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax,
- with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of
- options is included below.
- --alsa Use ALSA, same as running tapiir_alsa
- --jack Use JACK, same as running tapiir_jack
- -h, --help
- Show summary of options.
ALSA OPTIONS
- -P, --pdevice playback_device
- Set the ALSA device to use for audio output to
- playback_device (default "hw:0,0")
- -C, --cdevice capture_device
- Set the ALSA device to use for audio input to
- capture_device (default "hw:0,0")
- -m, --min minimun_latency
- Set the desired latency to minimun_latency samples
- (default 256)
- -M, --max maximun_latency
- Set the highest allowed latency to maximun_latency
- samples (default 1024)
- -r, --rate rate
- Set the sampling rate to rate Hz (default 48000)
- -b, --block
- Use blocking access to the audio device (not used
- by default)
- -t, --time time
- maximal tick time in us
- -p, --poll
- Use polling access to the audio device (used by de
- fault)
JACK OPTIONS
- -C, --cconnect <LEFT,RIGHT>
- jack-connect to the specified capture client jack
- ports (default: none)
- -P, --pconnect <LEFT,RIGHT>
- jack-connect to the specified playback client jack
- ports (default: none)
- -a, --alsaconnect
- jack-connect to alsa_pcm.
