MIDI Controllers Besides the main DAW controller screen TouchDAW comes with four additional MIDI controller views providing various forms of MIDI input devices that are technically independent of the DAW controller and use their own MIDI connection. As of version 2.5 all the MIDI controller views are fully editable and user-customizable. The previously hardcoded Keyboard, XY-Pads & Big Time views are now provided as default XML presets, removing a lot of historically grown code that became increasingly hard to maintain. As a great part of the app now runs on the exact same code, future enhancement - like the immanent move to support MIDI 2.0 - will be a lot easier to pull off. From a user perspective this switch may require some initial adjustments and some more fancy options may be lost in this initial version (contact me if anything turns out to be a real showstopper). In the end it should provide a great deal of extended flexibility, though. If you don't need a keyboard or a large timecode display for example, you can load any other layout definition into those screens and there is now not only one fully user-defineable view, but four of them. As the app mostly 'builds itself' at runtime, you should be able to widely make it yours. Documentation for the various screens mostly discusses the default layouts. For general info on editing and creating your own controllers see Custom Controllers.
Internal preset listings are somewhat tailored to the initial 'theme' of the screens. The keyboard screen has mostly keyboard like presets, the XY-Pads screen offers presets replicating previous layout options (1 Launchpad / 1 XY-Pad, 2 Launchpads etc.). You can still let every screen load any preset you want by using the import and export controls on the 'Presets' tab, though.
The DAW controller view still is and remains to be a hardcoded standard MCU implementation. |
