Hello.
I would like to know how the raven works outside DAWs.
For instance, if I use the raven Mti 2 as my main monitor on a Mac, does it retain any touchscreen capability to be used with other softwares?
I'm I able to still use my finger as the mouse in a regular usage of my Mac softwares? Can I click on Safari with my finger? Or the raven only activates the touchscreen abilities on DAWs?
Thanks so much for everyone who's able to shed some light in the subject.

Cheers!

I love using the Raven for everyday computer stuff.
Swiping to go back a page in safari, or 4 finger pinch to hide the application.
Here is an article about setting up extra gestures that will work in any application.

Thanks so much for your reply Jamey Z. Really helpful to know that the raven can be used for more stuff other then the DAW world.
Just to add another question to the previous one.
I'm using the Universal Audio Apollo Interface, that comes with the UA Console app, which is basically a virtual mixer.
Apparently the Raven would give me the ability to control this app with my finger (I know I problem wouldn't have multitouch enable, or all the assignable commands as DAW controller), but I guess I would still be able to at least touch the fader, one finger at a time.
I'm I correct?
Thanks so much!
