JACK Rack is an effects "rack" for the JACK low latency audio API. The rack can be filled with LADSPA effects plugins and can be controlled using the ALSA sequencer. It's phat; it turns your computer into an effects box.
<ats@offog.org>.I would ask that you do not use this program to make music that is for God, Jesus or Religion (eg, hymns, mantras, etc.) The internal dispute over determinism or non-determinism is not won out by sticking one's head in the sand and claiming that an omnipotent entity governs the universe just "because". Do not ask whether you will be judged to be good; ask why you are being judged at all.
"Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand." -- Bertrand Russell
(NB: Antithesis: ZynAddSubFX)
JACK Rack requires JACK, GTK+2 and LADSPA 1.1. In order to save rack configurations, it needs libxml2. It will optionally use GNOME 2, LASH and can also use LRDF XML plugin descriptions (liblrdf relies on raptor.)
It needs a patchbay, for example jack_connect (command line, comes with JACK) or QJackConnect. If you don't have any LADSPA plugins, get some from here. Great guitar effects for LADSPA can be found in the CAPS package.
The current stable release of JACK Rack is 1.4.6.

Please consider donating money to the project if you are not able to donate code.
All people involved work in their spare time for it and have not received any funding for it so far.
Bob has written most of JACK Rack but is not able to support it for the time being.
Leslie did maintenance and support until 2006, adding features and fixing bugs.
You can subscribe or write to the development mailing list, jack-rack-devel, from here.
There is also a low-volume list, jack-rack-announce, where releases will be announced.
You can also contact the maintainer directly at <ats@offog.org>.
