    Yes and it's quite easy to cut out the hole you'll need DIY. I then attached the plate I cut out to the table top with a hinge so I can adjust the angle if I want. Primitive but does the job.
    But be careful to think about the cables that come out of the displays and knobs you need to reach later.
    I forgot it in the first try :)

    money needs to be spent ... whoooaaaahhh...
    :rofl:

    XotoPad can be useful if you have a touch enabled device.
    The sliders and keys are orgaized in rows and columns throughot the Pads workspace. You can edit the pages as you like but everything is a rectangle in a rectangular page.
    The possibilities of adjusting the sliders and the colors are limited, but I can still imagine some applications where you can work with the controller quite neatly. There is no big lag of the keys and sliders so you even can play an instrument on it.

    P.S.: Even more interesting would be to use a spare windows tablet for controlling the DAW on my main computer.
    This is described here: https://feelyoursound.com/faq-xotopad-2/#daw under "Connecting XotoPad to another PC-
    I tested it today and am impressed. The latency over WLAN is typically < 5ms here (Surface Pro 4 i5).

    A little bit nicer UI has this one called OSC Pilot.


    Quite the same price tag, also usable over LAN/WLAN:

    @twoheart thank you, will check it out once done installing monitor, hopefully.. :wink:

    i finally sorted for dell (after going through many many forums and videos), maybe had the monitor arranged in L-shape (dual setup), desk mount the non touch screen on top of it.. too bad I just realize (after placing order) there's no official stylus support for this monitor.. :facepalm::rofl:

    There is hope: If it's a capacitive touch display you can use any stylus that works for phones.
    My Dell touch (quite old) is a capacitive one.
    If it's not a capacitive touch display just check wich other styluses may work with it, e.g. stylus for Wacom or MS surface etc. because there are not that many producers of digitizes you most likely will find one that fits. :like:

    BTW.: OSC Pilot convinced me and I bought a license. Currently I'm still testing it, but I think I'll write a small article about it here on AS today or in the next few days. I especially like the possibility to install it on any Windows tablet and control my DAW on the PC via WiFi.

    Well
    Touchscreens are fucking precise.
    You just need a proper driver.

    Any touchscreen, out of the box with native driver and windows HID? Well, sucks.
    That was my huge regret after getting the 20 point Muktitouch iverlay for my 43" TV.
    Then luckily, I found out UPDD.
    FYI, Slate Raven uses UPDD.
    It gives you custon driver.
    So everything, like the gesture detection and all happens at driver level and that modified data is sent to the OS, instead of OS fussing around multi touch because lets be honest, windows sucks when ut comes to preoper touch customization.
    Using UPDD We all can touch and tweak even the smallest clickable GUI element because of a simple settings called "Click" nearest GUI Element..

    I am loving UPDD.
