NAME
xwax - Digital vinyl on LinuxSYNOPSIS
xwax [options]DESCRIPTION
xwax is vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC and more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded vinyls.
OPTIONS
The ordering of options is important; many options apply to to subsequent music libraries or decks, which can be given multiple times. See the EXAMPLES below.
- -l path
- Scan the music library at the given path.
- -t name
- Use the named timecode for subsequent decks. See -h for a list of valid timecodes. You will need the corresponding timecode signal on vinyl to control playback.
- -i path
- Use the given importer executable for subsequent decks.
- -s path
- Use the given scanner executable to scan subsequent music libraries.
- -h
- Display the help message and default values.
ALSA DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available only when xwax is compiled with ALSA support.
- -a device
- Create a deck which uses the given ALSA device (eg. plughw:0).
- -r hz
- Set the sample rate for subsequent decks.
- -m milliseconds
- Set the ALSA buffer time for subsequent decks.
JACK DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available only when xwax is compiled with JACK support.
- -j name
- Create a deck which connects to JACK and registers under the given name.
xwax does not set the sample rate for JACK devices; it uses the sample rate given in the global JACK configuration.
OSS DEVICE OPTIONS
The following options are available only when xwax is compiled with OSS support.
- -d pathname
- Create a deck which uses the given OSS device (eg. /dev/dsp).
- -r hz
- Set the sample rate for subsequent decks.
- -b n
- Set the number of OSS buffers for subsequent decks.
- -f n
- Set the OSS buffer size (2^n bytes).
CONTROLS
The playback of each deck (direction, speed and position) is controlled via the incoming timecode signal from the turntables. The keyboard provides additional controls.
Record selection controls:
- cursor up, cursor down
- Move highlighted record up/down by one.
- page up, page down
- Scroll the record listing up/down by one page.
- left cursor, right cursor
- Switch to the previous/next crate of records.
- tab
- Toggle between the current crate and the 'All records' crate.
To filter the current list of records type a portion of a record name. Separate multiple searches with a space, and use backspace to delete.
Deck-specific controls:
Deck 0 | Deck 1 | Deck 2 | |
F1 | F5 | F9 | Load currently selected track to this deck |
F2 | F6 | F10 | Reset start of track to the current position |
F3 | F7 | F11 | Disconnect turntable control |
F4 | F8 | F12 | Reconnect turntable control |
Audio display controls:
- +, -
- Zoom in/out the close-up audio meters for all decks.
EXAMPLES
2-deck setup using one directory of music and OSS devices:
- xwax -l ~/music -d /dev/dsp -d /dev/dsp1
As above, but using ALSA devices:
- xwax -l ~/music -d hw:0 -d hw:1
2-deck setup using a different timecode on each deck:
- xwax -l ~/music -t serato_2a -d hw:0 -t mixvibes_v2 -d hw:1
3-deck setup with the third deck at a higher sample rate:
- xwax -l ~/music -r 48000 -a hw:0 -a hw:1 -r 96000 -a hw:2
Using all three device types simultaneously, one deck on each:
- xwax -l ~/music -a hw:0 -d /dev/dsp1 -j jack0
Scan multiple music libraries:
- xwax -l ~/music -l ~/sounds -l ~/mixes -a hw:0
Scan a second music library using a custom script:
- xwax -l ~/music -i ./custom-scan -l ~/sounds -a hw:0
