Slate Raven Support

[machinesworking]

I recently started really getting into Reaper, love it, and I'm excited about it's IMO superior mixing choices to my other DAWs. Thing is it's the only DAW I have that doesn't have support for the Raven MTi2 multitouch monitor and dedicated mixer software that Slate do for Logic, Live, Pro Tools, Dp etc.

I get the impression that Slate abandoned development for a Reaper "Ravelay" because they thought the Reaper community wasn't interested. Slate did a good job with the mixer system, it's much more responsive and "natural" feeling than regular multi touch on Windows, and actually gives multi touch to mixing on OSX! Anyway I'm hoping to get some numbers to point out to Slate, since I already own a Raven and can't use it in Reaper.

Obviously if you're completely not interested it's not really going to be that helpful to Slate since 99.9% of the development of this happens on their end and has no development cost to Cockos and isn't detrimental to you if they do develop a Reaper Ravelay.

I own a Raven and use it everyday with Reaper.

Never cared for the Slate Mixer overlay. I find it quite
badly implemented and it wouldn‘t work because we have
so many options for themes/layouts with Reaper.

What would make sense is TUIO Support for Multi-Touch (like in S1).

I've been asking for this for a while now. I currently use dtouch software for cubase on a 42" multitouch screen. The Pro X-Tools v4 theme for Reaper works well with this setup. I only wish it would work as multitouch.

Neither of the DAWs I have Ravelays for have the Slate Mixer overlay, they use the Slate mixer with multitouch etc. I would be fine with that, but to the other point, it's entirely possible to have Slate design a Reaper theme designed for a dedicated overlay.

Dtouch is Windows only, and I'm on OSX. Too bad to hear it's not using multitouch well on Windows, but the Slate solution is to use the MCU protocol etc.

Funny, I'm actually thinking of selling the Raven and sticking with the Push 2 for Reaper that Moss
wrote for mixing etc. I like using the plug ins that work with touch screens with the Raven, but not all at designed with touch in mind, so it's not a huge loss. I would like to use the Raven, but waiting for a Reaper version is probably a waste of time. Not enough interest here it seems, and too many false starts from Slate about it.

That is an invalid questionnaire.

Where is the "No" alternative in the options list ?

I assume a lot of people won't be interested, (Reaper has a huge community of DIY types), the question in my mind was how many people are interested.
