Usage

patchmatrix [options]

Overview

patchmatrix is a JACK patchbay.

It shows JACK clients and their input and output ports in flow-matrix-style.

The flow-matrix-style combines advantages of both flow-style (excellent overview of signal flow) and matrix-style (less virtual cabling mess, one-click patching).

The patchbay shows AUDIO, MIDI, CV and OSC ports separately to reduce complexity.

Ships with JACK session management support.
