Ubuntu Manpage: bsescm - A Guile based scheme shell for Beast and Bse.

NAME

       bsescm - A Guile based scheme shell for Beast and Bse.

SYNOPSIS

       bsescm [options] [--] ...

       bsescm [options] <infile.bse> ...

DESCRIPTION

       bsescm is a Guile based scheme shell for Bse, the Better Sound Engine.

       bsescm  provides  a  shell  interface  to  all  procedures exported by the Bse library, so
       scripts are able to access the full range of functionality provided  by  it,  from  simple
       playback  of  a  .bse  file  to  full  fledged  automated creation or editing of synthesis
       networks.

       Alternatively to the linked in Bse library, the bsescm language interface can also talk to
       a  remotely  running  Bse  library  host,  for instance Beast.  By operating on a remotely
       running Bse core, bsescm can be used to script arbitrary Bse programs. The shell  is  also
       used  directly  by  the  Bse  library to execute procedures on its behalf, this allows Bse
       procedures to be written in scheme.

       When started, bsescm tests whether the first non-option argument is a .bse file and if the
       test succeeds, attempts to play the command line arguments as .bse files.

OPTIONS

bsescm follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two
dashes ('--').

--bse-pipe infd outfd
Provide the input and output communication filedescriptors for remote operation.

--bse-eval string
Execute (eval-string string) instead of going into interactive mode.

--bse-enable-register
Allowes registration of procedures with the Bse core.

--bse-no-load
Prevent automated loading of plugins and scripts at startup time in interactive
mode.

--bse-no-play
Prevent automated detection and playback of .bse file command line arguments.

--g-fatal-warnings
Make runtime warnings fatal (abort).

-h, --help
Describe command line options and exit.

-v, --version
Display version and exit.

-n=nicelevel
Execute with priority nicelevel, this option only takes effect for the root suid
wrapper 'beast'.

-N Disables renicing to execute with existing priority.

--bse-latency=useconds
Set the allowed synthesis latency for Bse in milliseconds.

--bse-mixing-freq=frequency
Set the desired synthesis mixing frequency in Hz.

--bse-control-freq=frequency
Set the desired control frequency in Hz, this should be much smaller than the
synthesis mixing frequency to reduce CPU load. The default value of approximately
1000 Hz is usually a good choice.

--bse-pcm-driver driver-conf

-p driver-conf
This options results in an attempt to open the PCM driver driver-conf when playback
is started. Multiple options may be supplied to try a variety of drivers and unless
driver-conf is specified as "auto", only the drivers listed by options are used.
Each driver-conf consists of a driver name and an optional comma seperated list of
arguments attached to the driver withan equal sign, e.g.: -p oss=/dev/dsp2,rw -p
auto

--bse-midi-driver driver-conf

-m driver-conf
This option is similar to the --bse-pcm-driver option, but applies to MIDI drivers
and devices. It also may be specified multiple times and features an "auto" driver.

--bse-driver-list
Produce a list of all available PCM and MIDI drivers and available devices.

Guile Options:
-l file
Load scheme source code from file.

-e function
After reading script, apply function to command-line arguments.

-ds Do -s script at this point (note that this argument must be used in conjuction with
-s).

--debug
Start with debugging evaluator and backtraces enabled (useful for debugging
scripts).

--emacs
Enable emacs protocol for use from within emacs (experimental).

The remaining Guile options stop argument processing, and pass all remaining arguments as
the value of (command-line):

-- Stop argument processing, start in interactive mode.

-c expr
Stop argument processing, evaluate expr as a scheme expression.

-s script
Load Scheme source from script and execute as a script.
