touchscreen anybody??

[Jochen]

Is anybody using PT or Logic with a touchscreen?

A nice huge 21´ monitor would (theoretically) be such a nice way of working:
No searching for the cursor anymore.

I´ve never even seen one. Are they too slow / expensive, etc.?

All the best, Jochen

I haven't seen it yet. Most touch screen technology is pretty cost prohibitive. A year or so back I was doing some work with some A/V contractors and we used a lot of touch screen technology in our AMX A/V control systems. These were usually a table top portable LCD in the 10" to 14" range. The ones that supported SVGA input sources were in the $5000 range. I always thought that these would make great little studio toys but only for those who have more money than ten of me.

I've used their touch screens for lots of purposes but not digi. Their prices are okay for the most part.

Check out the Iiyama product range - they have some very interesting touchscreen displays, some of them LCD. I looked at this idea very carefully, but felt that the one screen I had a play with (not an Iiyama) was a little slower than using a mouse when dragging a fader and somewhat inaccurate- nice idea but maybe a little early?

Thanks for the URL. They don´t seem to be THAT expensive. I still have to find a vendor in Germany.
Are these touchscreens slow? So far I´ve only seen them with some stupid kiosk-systems (slow) and on a Korg Synth (very slow).
