This means 32 input channels in 10 mixers all with equalizers and compressors active and a few plug ins. I am really impressed! This is more then I will need.
Now I could manage to lay my paws on a 3M multitouch display. Really nice and a lot of fun to play with. But I found two not so nice behaviors.
For very small adjustments I put my finger on the slider of the zoom mixer and roll it a little up or down. Works great, but if I roll the finger a little bit to much down, the fader jumps suddenly to the 0 db position. This happens always, even on a disconnected SAC remote console.
While playing a bit with moving a few faders at the same time, suddenly jumps a fader to the top +20 db position. Later it happens that 3 faders jump to +20 db. After a while I found a way to reproduce this: I put my fingers on three or more faders and moved them 10 or 20 times quickly a little up and down. During this or when I take my fingers of the display, one or more of this faders jump to the +20 db position. This happens in 4 of 10 tests. I did this on a SAC remote console over wlan. On the SAC host it never happens so far. May be this depends more on network speed/traffic then on the multitouch display or on something else. During the weekend I will give it a closer look.
There are more 3M multi touch displays out there? Any experience?
