I think about a multi-point touch screen every time I use the mixing board. That would be the end of control surfaces. Just set the screen up close and get busy. Man, that's the direction this stuff has got to go.

I emailed MOTU Tech Support about this 2 years ago and never heard anything back from them. For a portable laptop rig having touchscreen capability would be a big help (although the buttons and sliders may be small!). There are hundreds of manufacturers out there who make reasonably-priced touchscreen overlays but I haven't tried any of them with DP yet. Here are a few random ones if anyone would like to be a guinea pig:

There was a post-production house in LA a few years ago that made a touch sensitive controller called the "glass console" for Pro Tools. It consisted of a large touch-sensitive display and motorized moving faders. While I never worked on it, the resolution was quite large to fit the display channel strips over the faders. Also , the glow of the display was constantly on the mixer's faces. Being a glass surface, sound reflection was less than optimum as well from the mixer position. They used them for a couple of years, but I believe they were prohibitively expensive to market, especially with the advent of Digi's Pro Control around the same time.
So, while it was an interesting concept, I think actual knobs and faders are a more desireable mixing solution in a control surface. Now, someone could crack Digi's ethernet control protocol to be able to use a Control 24 or D-Command with DP, that would be a rockin' controller!
