## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

**azr3 --help**\

## DESCRIPTION

azr3 is a port of Rumpelrausch Taips' VST plugin AZR-3 which  simulates a drawbar organ with a distorting amplifier and a rotating speaker  cabinet. This version is a JACK client that can be connected to any other  MIDI and audio software using JACK.\

- **-a, --audio-output**=*PORT\|CLIENT*

  When used, azr3 will try to connect its audio output ports to PORT (if it's a JACK port name) or the first two audio input ports in CLIENT (if it's a JACK client name).

- **-h, --help**

  Display a help text and exit.

- **-j, --jack-name**=*NAME*

  Set the name of the JACK client. The default is **AZR-3**. Note that JACK may change this name by e.g. adding a number at the end if needed.

- **-m, --midi-input**=*PORT\|CLIENT*

  When used, azr3 will try to connect its MIDI input port to PORT (if it's a JACK port name) or the first MIDI output port in CLIENT (if it's a JACK client name).

- **-p, --preset**=*NUMBER*

  Load the preset with the given number instead of the first available one.

- **-v, --version**

  Display version information and exit.

All program options can also be set using environment variables. The variable names are the same as the long option names with all letters in upper case, all **-** changed to **\_** and the prefix **AZR3\_JACK\_** added.

Command line options override environment variables.
