I've looked at their system over the past couple of years at Namm, but haven't been sure what display or programming they use.īut imo, multitouch is eventually a diy proposition with existing displays and software interface tools like the 3m. I don't think Slate is using the 3m technology, but maybe they are in order to set it up for protools. The 3m has its own programming software and developer resources so that you yourself can make it work with pretty much any program. which is often the display rebadged by a zillion other brands. The topic has also been up a few times over the past three years or so where the discussion (probably by me) includes looking at the 3m multitouch displays (22" models often being popular for adapting to apps). That would suck)Ģ) does anyone know of any other DAW control software available for a desktop computer (like all the iPad apps, but instead runs on a PC or Mac with a touchscreen?) surely Slate isn't the only one who has made such software (as that would mean that the only way to get such software is to purchase his touchscreen monitor!) So - I have a couple questions (the second one being more important as Raven isn't compatible with cubase anyway)ġ) if someone was to purchase the Raven software - could they just use a touch screen monitor that they already own? (I would think 'Yes' - unless slate has built into his software a method to detect whether or not you are using his particular brand of touch interface. Don't get me wrong - this seems to be the perfect way to do it, but it blows my mind that you would buy a touch screen monitor from him when you can get them anywhere. I had no idea that all Steven Slate is selling is a standard touch monitor and a piece of software that acts as an external DAW controller. I had been hoping that cubase 8 would include some touchscreen support (but that's a debate for another day).Īnyway - out of curiosity - I was having a look at the user manual for the slate raven MTI - and something blew my mind. I have my monitor setup in the same way that you'd expect to see a traditional mixing console, and I like using it with cubase 8, but it does have a big limitation - that it doesn't support multitouch, so I can't move 2 faders at once. I happen to own a nice touchscreen monitor (which I originally purchased for other purposes), so was interested to see how it performed with Cubase. So - I got interested in the concept a while back when I saw the Slate Raven MTI. I wanted to start a conversation about Touch Screen DAW control, and was hoping someone could fill in a few blanks for me.
