<!-- intro -->
<p>
    Cadence-JackSettings is a simple and easy-to-use configure dialog for jackdbus (either JACK2 or JACK1 + DBus patch).<br/>
    It can configure JACK's driver and engine parameters (network not yet implemented), and it also supports LADISH studios.
</p>
<p>
    This tool can be executed as 'cadence_jacksettings' or from within <a href="<?php echo $ROOT; ?>/Applications:Cadence">Cadence</a>,
    <a href="<?php echo $ROOT; ?>/Applications:Catia">Catia</a> and <a href="<?php echo $ROOT; ?>/Applications:Claudia">Claudia</a>.
</p>

</p>
<p>
    The third tab, "Network", is not implemented yet.
</p>
<p>
    You probably recognize some options from other JACK configure tools such as QjackCtl.<br/>
    They are similar because they manage the same thing (JACK). The difference is mostly at the layout level — that is, how things are organized in the GUI.
</p>
<p>
    Most options have a tooltip to help. The 'driver' option (table on the left in the 2nd screenshot) will trigger small changes on the layout.<br/>
    NOTE: Leaving a particular driver selected after closing the tool will result in that driver being used the next time JACK starts.
</p>

<!-- Usage -->
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Usage"> Usage </span></h3>
<p>
    The options will be available (or not) according to your JACK version.<br/>
    JACK1 and JACK2 options are different, so Cadence-JackSettings interface will change for them. Some set-ups might also have LADISH specific options.<br/>
    <i>(For this first release Cadence-JackSettings is targeted at JACK2 and some minor JACK1 options will be missing)</i>.
</p>
<p>
    If you want a more in-depth explanation of what each option does, you can checkout your 'jackd' manual page or view it online <a href="http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/jackd%281%29" class="external text" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.<br/>
    The first part of that manual relates to the 'Engine' options, then specific driver ones.<br/>
    Remember that Cadence-JackSettings doesn't really uses 'jackd', but since we are both targeting JACK the options are the same.
</p>
<p>
    NOTE: The settings are shared across jackdbus-capable applications (jack_control and ladiconf), but not QjackCtl.<br/>
    QjackCtl doesn't support querying and storing settings via jackdbus (it uses its own internal settings), so any change in it will not affect Cadence-JackSettings and vice-versa.<br/>
    We recommend using only Cadence and avoid (or uninstall) QjackCtl.
