#N canvas 3 74 735 424 10; #X obj 28 51 jack_midi2pd_2sys_connector_sv; #X text 289 49 This abs is designed to empower the user to switch (in a sense a sort of jack router/bypass) between having a connection \, in my case \, the virtual midi synthesizer "amsynth" \, running into pd_in to instead running into system:playback. \; \; The benefit is that (using the shell object + jack_lsp) the rerouting is done in a signal click (which certainly gets one to thinking). \; \; The two inlets are init which writes a file to /tmp which it then reads to populate the connector names and the other inlet is the switch itself. \; \; Steps: \; start jack and any and all apps you may want to run through the abs \; then click "init" this writes two files \, one for ins and the other for outs \; select from the radios (which populate the symbols on the right) \; and then you can switch between the two connections using the vradio on the top-right. Note: if you are using QJackCtl or other jack-guis you may need to refresh the connection page to ee the result. -svanya;
