Workshop The Workshop screen is a 'blank slate' available for creating custom controllers. When you first open it, you will see an assembly of buttons and faders. This is not meant to be a meaningful controller (allthough it is functional), but just wants to show some of the controls that are available to built your own controllers. To start editing, double-tap into some free space and select 'Edit' from the menu. This will bring up the editor dialog. You can then start to change the controls' properties, rearrange them on screen or load some other preset. Details on editing controllers are given on the Custom Controllers page. Controller definitions for the screen are stored in "controller" nodes inside the "workshop" node of the currently selected XML setup file:
<touchdaw_midi_map> ... <workshop> <controller> ...groups and controls... </controller> </workshop> ... </touchdaw_midi_map>
Presets The screen comes with a number of presets that serve two purposes: A:provide some additional readymade controllers and B: demonstrate layout and MIDI techniques. Some are just templates, some only snippets meant to be extended. You are encouraged to play around with them using the editor and the xml itself and change things to your needs. If something breaks, you can just call up the preset again. If you break the xml in a way that tilts the editor, open the current xml file from Setup / MIDI Utilities / XML Mappings and either try to fix the error there or delete the whole '<workshop></workshop>' node or the '<controller></controller>' node inside it and start over again. More samples are available on the Presets page. This screen was the first one to support full customization. It is still the only one without a predefined 'theme'. Functionally it is identical with all the other MIDI controller screens these days, though. Layouts can generally be exchanged between them. Use the import and export controls on the 'Preset' tab to do so.
