Yo, back on Friday, May 14, 2010 Andrew C was all like:
I've installed both, but I can't find any way
to send the output of klick
into arpage.
I'm obviously doing something very noobish and obviously wrong, anyone care
to enlighten me?
You don't need to connect the two in any way. Klick just servers to set the tempo so
that all jack-transport aware apps stay in sync with the same tempo.
Arpage gets it's timing from jack, so unless there is an jack client program connected
that is setting the beat / tempo, Arpage won't do anything. This also helps so that if
you have other applications like a jack transport aware sequencer of sort, the timing of
Arpage and the sequencer will match up.
The downside to a CLI app like klick is that it's not practical to do something like
tap tempo or change the tempo somehow with out restarting it. (There is a GUI front end
for klick called gtklick that allows tap tempo or manually changing the tempo, but it
doesn't activate the jack-transport-master functionality, which totally defeats the
purpose.)
