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.

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.
