<!-- intro -->
<p>
    Cadence-XY Controller is a simple XY widget that sends and receives data from Jack MIDI.<br/>
    It can send data through specific channels and has a MIDI Keyboard too.
</p>
<p>
    This tool can be executed as 'cadence_xycontroller'.
</p>

<!-- Interface -->
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Interface"> The Interface </span></h3>
<p>
    A screenshot follows showing the piano, running under <br/>

</p>
<p>
    The XY widget is controlled by the mouse, and it syncs its values to the X and Y knobs. Moving the knobs will change the XY cursor accordingly.<br/>
    The "Smooth" checkbox will make XY cursor changes smoother (the cursor will follow the mouse with inertia), but it will not change the knobs' behaviour.
</p>
<p>
    There's also a MIDI-keyboard that is usually hidden (use "Settings" menu, "Show MIDI Keyboard" to show or hide it).<br/>
    You can use the mouse or keyboard to trigger notes. The keyboard uses a 'qwerty' layout.
</p>

<!-- Usage -->
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Usage"> Usage </span></h3>
<p>
    The first thing to do after starting this tool is to make the proper JACK connections so that it outputs the data somewhere (<a href="<?php echo $ROOT; ?>/Applications:Catia">Catia</a> does the job nicely).<br/>
</p>
<p>
    Cadence-XY Controller can both receive and send MIDI data. This data will not pass-through, which is intentional and not a design failure.<br/>
    MIDI channels used can be specified in the "Settings" menu. If data is received on a channel it's not set to listen to, such data will be ignored.
</p>
<p>
    MIDI data will be sent whenever the keyboard or XY cursor changes. When everything is stationary, no data is sent.<br/>
    MIDI-Keyboard actions will send regular MIDI note-on/offs. XY cursor changes will send MIDI data that look like this:<br/>
    <code>
        Status: &nbsp;0xB0 + <i>channel</i> - 1<br/>
        Control: 0x01 <i>(Modulation, as defined in "X Controls")</i><br/>
        Value: &nbsp;&nbsp;<i>X value percentage</i> * 127 / 100<br/>
    </code><br/>
