Microsoft Surface

The Microsoft Surface Pro not only features multitouch but also includes an active pen. MultitrackStudio offers a "Pen with touch scrolling" mode to take full advantage of these capabilities. This mode should also work with devices other than the Surface Pro, provided it supports both multitouch and an active pen.

The "Pen with touch scrolling" mode is designed to work primarily with the pen. You can use touch to scroll and zoom editors, scroll mixer sections vertically, scroll through lists, and play the onscreen MIDI keyboard. All other touch interactions are ignored, so you won't accidentally tap anything with your palm.
"Pen with touch scrolling" mode is ideal for MIDI editing because the pen is much more precise than a finger. You can edit quickly with the pen and navigate smoothly using touch.

A button is available in the main window to switch between pen and touch mode quickly. This button appears next to the Studio button. It is shown when the "Input Device" setting (see Preferences) is set to either Touchscreen or "Pen with touch scrolling".

In "Pen with touch scrolling" mode, the pen behaves slightly differently compared to the standard pen mode to better match the touchscreen interaction style. Most notably, resizing notes in the piano roll editor works similarly to the touchscreen method.

Tip: you can disable the Surface's Windows button (in the bezel) using the Surface app to avoid pressing it accidentally.
