Jack DSSI Host

The jack-dssi-host command ships with the DSSI source code and is mostly a proof-of-concept application. In fact, it has no GUI of its own and must be launched from a terminal. Unlike 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:

$ jack-dssi-host /usr/lib64/dssi/amsynth_dssi.so &

Launch each DSSI plugin separately, and route them as usual.

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) so for some DSSI plugins, it's best to leave them as plugins. 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.
