NAME

anklang - Music composition and modular synthesis application

SYNOPSIS

anklang [OPTIONS] [FILES...]

DESCRIPTION

Anklang is a digital audio synthesis application for live creation and composition of music and other audio material. It is released as free software under the MPL-2.0.

Anklang comes with synthesis devices which can be arranged in tracks and controlled via MIDI input devices or pre-programmed clips which contain MIDI notes.

The Anklang sound engine is a dedicated process which is controlled by a user interface based on web technologies that can be run in a special process (like electron) or modern browsers like firefox(1) or google-chrome(1).

OPTIONS

Anklang supports short and long options which start with two dashes ('-').

-- : Stop argument processing, treat remaining arguments as files.

-h, --help : Show a help message about command line usage.

--fatal-warnings : Abort on warnings and failing assertions, useful for test modes.

--check : Execute internal tests and benchmarks.

--disable-randomization : Enable deterministic random numbers for test modes.

--ui-js=SCRIPT : Run JavaScript after UI startup. Electron runs headless by default and closes the window when the script finishes. Call window.auto_close(false) in the script to keep the window open. On automatic close, a number returned by the script becomes the exit status.

--headless[=BOOL] : Run the browser headless. This is the default for --ui-test and --ui-js. Use --headless=false to show the window while running a script.

-v, --version : Print information about the program version.
