Hi there,
I bought a Raven MTi2 right out of the gate late last year and have had a chance to use it now for a few months running Cubase 8.5. While I love the touchability of the Raven, I'm finding that the resolution is a bit small for how I prefer to work - the majority of time I'm writing MIDI, and when I'm in the Key Editor because I use a lot of controller lanes there isn't a lot of window space left to see the notes. My previous monitor setups have been 4k and 2560x1440, which gave me plenty of space to see everything.
HOWEVER, I absolutely love Batch Commander! My previous rig utilized 2 iPads running TouchOSC through OSCulator, which I've used for years, but I have to say I love how BC communicates directly with Cubase, without having to program things in OSCulator through the "back door" (of course not being able to send MIDI cc info from BC is the missing piece of that puzzle).
So, in reviewing my setup, it seems like the ultimate for me would be to go back to a larger non-touchscreen monitor, but to still be able to use Batch Commander. I'd prefer to NOT use it on the Raven monitor as that screen for just running BC is way bigger than I need. I've played around a bit with Slate Remote, figuring I could just hide the Raven rack on my main monitor but still control my custom batch commands, but I can't seem to be able to make it work because of the bug where you have to boot up BC in the default mode, and then after the remote connection is made load up your custom setup, but this doesn't seem to work when not using a touchscreen because the BC buttons don't seem to be mouse-clickable.
Sorry for the long explanation, but to summarize I'm wondering if:
1) There's a way to make the Slate Remote work as I'd like it to (without using a touchscreen main monitor), or
2) If there's a standalone BC that bypasses the touchscreen, or
3) There's a way to run BC directly on an iPad.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
