    I'm guessing that everyone will until they see the price.

    Looks cool, though not sure about the placement of the USB ports and the screen would need cleaning all the time if my phone is anything to go by.

    It'll cost 2.4 million dollars ...and in five years you can get it for about 150 bucks

    Bayoubill I tole you... start saving money.

    Seriously (sorta)... RAIN... wow! That is some kind of eye candy. There are some really stupid comments on the YT page. I am sure there are more USB ports than on the top for a thumb drive, duh. I also am certain that you can use a mouse as well as a finger, some of us worry about the idea of having our arms extended for any period of time. You are still young, you will not understand that until you get older, then you probably will, but I hope not.. but hey! I am sure there is a finger on a stick that one can buy as well. Man that thing just looks awesome. Like I said in my reply to Bill's post... in ten years I am sure that generation will have to look it up to find out what "latency" refers to. Things just change so fast... heck we might have a 360 degree holographic interface that we can stand inside of before you know it... with not only virtual instruments but virtual studio musicians and AI.

    Thanks for sharing. It is really inspiring to see what true entrepreneurs are doing. I've been watching the History Channel series "The Men Who Built America", (Commodore Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnagie, J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford). A good series! It is good to see this sort of froward thinking is still alive and well. Steven Slate will do even greater things I think... he has a vision.

    It looks quite terrible from the ergonomical point of view. See how the engineer needs to reach up to touch the screen and be carefull not to touch the screen with other parts than fingertips. They should give a season ticket to physiotherapist with the machine.

    It also strengthens my prejudice about touch screens: That's how big it has to be in order to be able to see and use equally many functions as with a mouse on a 24" screen, and then a shorter & fatter engineer can't reach the top buttons without standing up.

    Very nice but I would prefer to have it laying flat with a 'slight' angle/slope upward with a cushion (palm rest) much like main hardware mixers in studio or live.  To allow comfort especially when working long hours; to reduce the risk of RA; having a padded palm rest would also be nice. 

    I would like to see Roland and the Bakers develop 'several models' starting at; 15" (screen size) with more care to ergonomic design all fully loaded and ready to rock with SONAR.... of course being software environment would allow easy software upgrades and without limitations (third-party plugins) and being open-ended concept with wise choice of connectors and service ports would also allow additional hardware upgrades.... also opening up wonderful possibilities to expand on in future.

    Saw that! Drooled from the tought of owning one! Decided I'll never get one!


    I hate touch display faders. They can either be real or I don't want to bother with them. give me a Mackie Pro or the V700 over touch screen faders anyday


    Same goes for pan(t)s.

     With the continued  developement of the touch screen and the incorporation of more touch options into Windows 8. I could easily see a similar thing much less expensive built into something like a giant Ipad or our touch laptops now. The hardware would be much less expensive because you use an existing hardware touch computer with software written for Windows 8 to run in it.

     I would be willing to wager that DAW makers and likely Cakewalk already have plans on the table for a future tablet design.

     Ergonomically I would rather have a smaller touch screen maybe 20" at a level corresonding to where your hands are when sitting at a DAW. Almost any desk and touch screen can be made to do that now.

    Yeah I would like to see some dedicated controls such as; sliders and dials = Touch-Screens specifically developed for music and video production.

    Personally, I enjoy seeing the development, even if it's not necessarily something I'd need. The idea of a touch screen mixer has been floating around for quite some time, so I guess it was only a matter of time. And this is only a step, which maybe will pave the way for something totally different. That being said, I'm usually happy mixing w/ a mouse, one virtual fader at a time or using groups on the fly, and then envelopes. 

    My midi keyboard's fader automaps to the active track's volume fader, and that's about the only time when I find such things useful - in performance mode, so to speak, not having to reach for the mouse and to mess w/ the onscreen fader. That's also where I could probably use an iPad as a control surface for virtual instruments, instead of going back to the mouse.

    One thing that I've grown fond of though is my laptop's trackpad and the integration of gestures in my DAW - pinching to zoom in and out and all those intuitive gestures to navigate through the project, that's addictive and its speeds things up quite a bit. Whenever I launch Pro Tools or Studio One, I miss those functions a lot - more than any actual features I guess.

    I guess I'd much rather have something like that than an actual touchscreen.
