- | **Sessionless** | ||
- | |||
- | <WRAP indent> | ||
- | Depending on the plugin, using a launcher like this might mean that you have no way to save the plugin's session or state. | ||

- | |||
- | ===== Install ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The ''jack-dssi-host'' command ships with the DSSI source code. DSSI, available from [[http://slackbuilds.org]], installs with the default Slackermedia queue file. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== Usage ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The ''jack-dssi-host'' command is mostly a proof-of-concept application. In fact, it has no GUI of its own and must be launched from a terminal. Unlike [[jackrack|Jack Rack]] or similar, it is not a "rack" so much as it is a launcher that you point to the DSSI plugin library you want to load: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | $ jack-dssi-host /usr/lib64/dssi/amsynth_dssi.so & | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | {{ jack-dssi-host.jpg?606 }} | ||
- | |||
- | Launch each DSSI plugin separately, and route them as you would any stand-alone synth. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Sessions ===== | ||
- | |||
- | There is not necessarily a way to save a session file when launching DSSI plugins with ''jack-dssi-host'' (it depends on the design of the plugin). For that reason, some DSSI plugins are best left as plugins except for testing. | ||
- | |||
- | Otherwise, save session files in a directory associated with your project, and remember to load them back in when resuming work on your project later. Session management can be done by good organisation (with [[planter|Planter]], for instance) or with a dedicated session manager (such as [[non|Non]]). | ||
