JACK is not a programming SDK for synthesis. Its an API that

     (1) provides a high level callback abstraction for interacting
             with an audio interface
     (2) allows applications to share data with each other while
             operating in a sample synchronous with respect to
             each other.

It allows you to get a basic DSP algorithm producing sound without you
worrying about how to configure the audio interface, and then later
lets that same output be (potentially) routed to other applications
for processing/manipulation/recording.
