Description

A small and simple re-creation of the OG M4L device "XY Pad" from back in the days. Control two (or four) parameters with the X and Y values of a 2d cursor.

Features and improvements:

- Modernized look and feel

- Current day (2025) style of mapping interface, featuring bipolar and unipolar modulation or remote parameter takeover. Based on code in the stock Expression Control device

- Output curve controls, with a switch between one- or two segment ("S-shaped") Bézier curves

- Two additional mapping outputs, with source selection (either X or Y axis), with a small graphical (LCD-style) dragable interface (pictslider!)

- Snapback mode: in this mode, the cursor snaps back to the set coordinates when the mouse is released. Settable easing time (0 - 2000 ms) and curve

- Inertia mode: logarithmic smoothing of the cursor (+ spawns a spooky ghost cursor to represent the smoothed signal), simulating inertia. With smoothing time parameter

- Global depth control

Reuses some code from the stock Expression control device. Licensing is subject to future change; in general, please don't sell this device or any derivative of it.
