How to start the Control Surface on Windows and macOS
You will see 3 icons placed on your Desktop
The Launchers apps will start Fender Studio Pro or Studio One and the Control Surface app. Closing the DAW will also quit the Control Surface app.
The Fender CS icon will simply start the Control Surface app but without opening the DAW.
Always run the Fender CS Launcher or Studio One Launcher (depending which one you have) so that it opens both the DAW and the Control Surface app.
Selecting the Controller Display
Right click on the empty area and select the target display for the Control Surface to appear.
Keyboard Focus
The CS app passes the keyboard focus automatically to the DAW after a click or touch so that you don't have to click back to the DAW manually. On the Mac CS there is a button "Keyboard Focus" to enable/disable this function.
Proceed to the documentation page.
