Cadence is a set of tools useful for audio production. <br/> |
|
|
|
It's being developed by falkTX, using Python and Qt (and some C++ where needed). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tools share the same base source code, so most of them look quite similar (which is intentional). |

|
|
|
- cadence_render -> Record (or 'render') a JACK project using jack-capture, controlled by JACK Transport; supports realtime and freewheel modes. |
|
|
|
- cadence_jacksettings -> Configure JACK (requires jackdbus, either JACK2 or JACK1 + DBus patch). |

Also, lots of custom widgets were coded when needed (like pixmapdial, pixmapkeyboard, patchcanvas and systray).<br/> |

|
They can be re-used in other projects. Contact the author if you need help on that. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
Note that the main focus goes to JACK2 (or JACK1+DBus); JACK1 (raw) and tschack are untested and may not work properly at this point. |

### [Cadence](http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/KXStudio:Applications:Cadence) |
|
|
|
The main app. It performs system checks, manages JACK, calls other tools and make system tweaks.<br/> |

### [Catarina](http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/KXStudio:Applications:Catarina) |
|
|
|
A Patchbay test app, created while the patchcanvas module was being developed.<br/> |
|
|
|
It allows the user to experiment with the patchbay, without using ALSA, JACK or LADISH.<br/> |

You can save & load patchbay configurations too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [Catia](http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/KXStudio:Applications:Catia) |
|
|
|
JACK Patchbay, with some neat features like A2J bridge support and JACK Transport.<br/> |
|
|
|
It's supposed to be as simple as possible (there's Claudia for advanced things), so it can work nicely on Windows and Mac too.<br/> |

|
|
|
Currently has ALSA-MIDI support in experimental stage (it doesn't automatically refresh the canvas when changes happen externally). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [Claudia](http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/KXStudio:Applications:Claudia) |
|
|
|
LADISH frontend; just like Catia, but focused at session management through LADISH.<br/> |
|
|
|
It has a bit more features than the official LADISH GUI, with a pretty preview of the main canvas in the bottom-left.<br/> |

It also implements the 'Claudia-Launcher' add-application style. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [Claudia-Launcher](#) |
|
|
|
A multimedia application launcher with LADISH support.<br/> |
|
|
|
It searches for installed packages (not binaries), and displays the respective content as a launcher.<br/> |
|
|
|
The content is got through an hardcoded database, created and/or modified to suit the target distribution.<br/> |

### [Carla](http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/KXStudio:Applications:Carla) |
|
|
|
Multi-plugin host for JACK.<br/> |
|
|
|
It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CCs (and send control outputs back to MIDI too) and full OSC control.<br/> |
|
|
|
Currently supports LADSPA (including LRDF), DSSI, LV2, and VST plugin formats, with additional GIG, SF2 and SFZ file support via FluidSynth and LinuxSampler.<br/> |

### [Carla-Control](#) |
|
|
|
An OSC Control GUI for Carla (you get the OSC address from the Carla's about dialog, and connect to it).<br/> |
|
|
|
Supports controlling main UI components (Dry/Wet, Vol and Balance), and all plugins parameters.<br/> |
|
|
|
Peak values and control outputs are displayed as well.<br/> |
|
|
|
Custom Plugin GUIs are not supported at this point.<br/> |

Simple JACK audio peak meter. <br/> |

In the future it will be available in a plugin version, based on the DISTRHO project. |
|
|
|

|
|
### [XY-Controller](#) |
|
|
|
Simple XY widget that sends and receives data from Jack MIDI.<br/> |
|
|
|
It can send data through specific channels and has a MIDI Keyboard too.<br/> |
|
|
|
This is more of a concept of my jacklib python module usage then anything else, may not work properly under very low JACK buffer sizes.<br/> |
