## Patching in Jack

## Patching in Jack with Q Jack Control

In Q Jack Control, open up Patchbay. To add system plugs, do the following:
1. Hit "Add" next to Output Sockets.
2. Hit the drop-down arrow on the Client box. You should see "system" as a client option. Select this.
3. Click "Add Plug" until all available plugs are added. You should be able to add two plugs total.
4. Hit "OK."
5. Repeat this process with input plugs.

Repeat the above process with JackTrip as your client (it may not be labeled JackTrip - look for the client option that doesn't say "system" or "internal"). When you're done, if you used the command above (where n = 1 JackTrip plug), you should have three output plugs and three input plugs - for each, two are under "system," and one is under "JackTrip."

From this point, connecting is pretty simple. Select the two system output plugs, as well as the JackTrip input plug. Hit "Connect" to establish an audio connection between these. Repeat this process, connecting the two system input plugs with the JackTrip output plug.


## Patching in Jack with JackPilot

In JackPilot, hit the "Routing" button to open the Connections Manager. Because you have JackTrip running, you'll see JackTrip as input ("Send Ports") and output ("Receive Ports") options. Try selecting one of your system input options; if you are connected to a server correctly, the corresponding JackTrip output will appear in red.

Because I have "capture_1" selected, for example, JackTrip's "send_1" appears in red.

To create additional connections (virtually plugging cables into input and output channels on your imaginary synth box), select the input you want, then double-click the output you want to connect it to. You can undo connections the same way (if a connection is already present, select the input, then double-click the corresponding output). As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter too much which "capture" inputs are routed to JackTrip's "send" output(s), for our purposes, but you do want to make sure you route both "playback" outputs to JackTrip's "receive" input(s). On most computers, "playback_1" corresponds to your left headphone/earbud, while "playback_2" corresponds to your right headphone/earbud.
