About dialog #6

The site doesn't have any help or explain what it does. An 'about' button that pops up a small in-app dialog would be nice (or a first-visit message). This would be a very simple message, at most 3 sentences if possible.

I posted an intro to reddit, saving here to reference later

It needs an about page (in the works) but here's the quick intro on how to use it: First, you'll need some MIDI devices connected to your machine. Then you select a sender device and a receiver device to 'wire' them up (In other words, you'll be connecting the MIDI Out of the sender into the MIDI In of the receiver). Clicking on the arrow will give you a few options to manipulate channels, transpose by semitones and stuff like that. The devices will pulse blue if they receive a MIDI message. The checkbox on the left of each row will disable that routing connection. Up at the top the 'reset' button will wipe out your configuration and start with a new blank configuration. Finally the 'panic!' button will send a note off message for every note on every channel for every device - A quick brute-force DEFCON 1 option to fix any hung notes.
