The Dragon Midi Controller

Check out this video of a new type of interfacing for Cubase (and undoubtedly other DAWs soon enough). I’m not so impressed with the touchscreen LCD display, as we’ve seen things like that with the Lemur for years now. About halfway into the video, he starts to get into the plug-in controller, which is where the gear envy started rearing up. It’s a hybrid touchscreen LCD, but with knobs built in for more tactile control. Awesome.

Would you prefer a controller with knobs for quick and easy control, or just a big empty screen that could become anything?
