The Multitouch Display
Slate Pro Audio started from the beginning, and built the RAVEN touch display from the ground up, using innovative touchscreen technologies that were literally being introduced to the market as the RAVEN was being developed. Slate Pro Audio builds their displays using commercial-grade LED backlit screens and components from industry-standard display manufacturers. The screen is sharp, bright, and looks great at any angle. But one of the greatest achievements is by far the custom-made NANO GLIDE surface. This ultra-thin 2mm glass is coated with a proprietary nano technology that makes the surface slick and smooth, and it allows you to work effortlessly.

The Raven Mixer
The Raven Multitouch DAW control software puts your DAW right at your fingertips. A large-format multi-touch mixer gives you complete access to faders, pans, mutes, solos, sends, automation, and even plugin inserts. Of course on a 46 screen, plugins become the size of 19 outboard gear allowing you to easily tweak the controls with your fingers. This is an amazing stride in hands-on DAW control. Having the DAW at your fingertips makes it easier than ever to directly interact with the music.
