NAME
ecamegapedal - real-time effect processor
SYNOPSIS
ecamegapedal [options] [<input> <output>]
DESCRIPTION
Ecamegapedal is a real-time effect processor software with a graphical
user interface for controlling the effect parameters. It is meant to be
used as a virtual guitar-fx or studio effect box. In addition to real-
time operation, ecamegapedal also supports reading from and writing to
audio files. All audio object and effect plugin types provided by the
ecasound libraries are supported. This includes ALSA, JACK, OSS, aRts,
over 20 file formats, over 30 effect types, LADSPA plugins and multi-
operator effect presets. Ecamegapedalīs implementation is based on eca-
sound and Qt libraries.
INTERFACE
Keyboard control
One design goal has been that ecamegapedal can be used without a
mouse. In practise this means that shortcuts work everywhere,
and all pushbuttons and other controls have a textual descrip-
tion.
Ecamegapedal makes use of both accelerator keys and shortcut
keys. These are defined as follows:
An accelerator key is an alphanumeric key that can be pressed
together with a Meta-key, usually Alt, to select an item which
is visible on the screen. If an item has an accelerator key,
this is shown by underlining that character.
A shortcut key is a combination of Ctrl and another key. When
pressed together they start an action from any of the menus. In
the menu, the shortcut is printed after each item so that the
user can learn about the shortcuts by using the application.
In ecamegapedal, transport controls (start, stop) play can be
accesses using shortcuts (ie. ctrl-t, ctrl-s, .. instead of alt-
t, alt-s).
