All the controllers in DAWSound are completely configurable. Colors, sizes, ranges, MIDI data, OSC data, etc are all user-defined.

DAWSound also remembers where each Layout should appear on your screen, so each Layout can appear in specific places, enhancing your workflow.

DAWSound works with any program that can receive MIDI and/or OSC. DAWSound can also receive MIDI and OSC data and update the controllers.

You can even load pictures to use as the Layout background.

Multi-touch is supported.

Buttons, MIDI Modifiers and Popup Layouts can have ID tags. When several Buttons, MIDI Modifiers or Popup Layouts have the same ID tag, then only one of these controllers can be 'On' at a time. Turning one of these controllers 'On' will autoamtically turn all the other Buttons, MIDI Modifiers and Popup Layouts 'Off' that have the same ID Tag.

This is useful for using a bunch of Buttons to act as 'Solo' buttons. Turning one Button on to solo a track with turn all the other Buttons off.

Controller Groups allow you to create groups of controllers that can control each other. For example, one Fader can update multiple Faders and one Button can turn other Buttons on and off.

Groups can also have a 'Master' controller, which means that only the Master controller updates all the other controllers in the group, but all the other controllers operate independently.

DAWSound can show incoming and outgoing MIDI data in real-time, so you can use DAWSound as MIDI monitor.

DAWSound can show incoming and outgoing OSC data in real-time, so you can use DAWSound as OSC monitor.

Faders can be horizontal or vertical, show or hide values, different knob styles, etc. They can work in reverse and have an auto-return value.

Knobs can show or hide values, have different rotation angles and have varying amounts of rotation. They can work in reverse and have an auto-return value.

Buttons can send MIDI and OSC data, Note values, CC values or keyboard commands (such as SHIFT-A to any Windows program).

Buttons can also be velocity-sensitive - the higher you click on a button the higher the Note velocity or CC value is.

Buttons can also load different Layouts, Snapshots and enable/disable Controller Groups, creating a truly interactive environment.

Buttons can do the following:

Send CC data
Send Note data

Reset All Controllers
Send Keyboard Command
Show/Minimize Editor
Switch To Layout

Scroll Snapshot List - Up
Scroll Snapshot List - Down
Load Highlighted Snapshot
Load Specific Snapshot
Save Current Snapshot

Labels can be horizontal or vertical and various font sizes and colors. Labels can be used as dividers to create 'visual sections' in your Layout. Labels can also be used as off/on LEDs.

XY-Pads can send any 2 CC or Note values at the same time. The ranges for each CC value is user-definable.

MIDI Modifier controllers allow you to modify incoming MIDI data and MIDI data from other controllers and then send out the modified MIDI data.

It has input filters so you can specify what MIDI data you want to modify.

You can alter the MIDI channel, change the CC Number, change the MIDI Note and change the Note velocity of any controller on your Layout.

Popup Layout Controllers allow you to open an existing Layout on top of the current Layout.

This is great for creating "mini-Layouts" that open and close on your main Layout.

A Button Matrix controller is a grid of Buttons that can interact with each other. For example, only one button in the grid can be active at a time. This allows the Button Matrix controller to act as a radio button switch. Each button can have its' own color and functionality just like a regular Button controller.

Buttons can also load different Layouts, Snapshots and enable/disable Controller Groups, creating a truly interactive environment.

A Button Matrix controller can also be updated from an Ableton session and both programs can stay in sync with each other.

Buttons can do the following:

Send CC data
Send Note data

Reset All Controllers
Send Keyboard Command
Show/Minimize Editor

An Encoder controller is similar to a Knob controller except that it can be turned continuously. It can send absolute values or it can send relative values. These values are user-defined.

A Keyboard controller is a controller that works like a regular monophonic keyboard. The number of keys, the starting key and the colors are all configurable.

A VU Meter controller is a controller that shows incoming MIDI and OSC values that similar to real-life VU meters.

Snapshots save and restore the current state of all the controllers in the current Layout. Layouts can have multiple snapshots.

Presets allow you save any controller as a preset. This allows you create a library of custom-defined controllers that you can add to any Layout.
