Since September last year so about seven months now.

Yes, DTouch gives you the multitouch but ONLY on certain elements of Pro Tools. Mainly the faders. Reason for this is that Pro Tools simply doesn't support multi touch. They get around that by sort of pretending you are using a HUI controller. So bear in mind that DTouch will give you some multitouc...

As far as I know neither OS X or most DAWs support multitouch natively. Even if you run Pro Tools on a windows version that supports multitouch it won't work because Pro Tools doesn't support it. That's where the Ravens and DTouches of this world come in. So if you run the Iiyama on EC without DTouc...

Hi!

I would like to start testing the cloud collaboration features in PT HD 12.5 as soon as possible.
Any idea on when DTouch for OS X will be compatible with this version?

Thanks!

No worries, glad to help. Let me clarify that with DTouch running, the touch screen works anyway (no DAW required).

My setup or now, I'll make some custom furniture once the console is gone.

P.S. / N.B. Anyone want to buy my console?
It's in good shape, used to belong to an old lady who almost never drove it, always kept it indoors

Well, we'll see. I'm going to try and keep the smart tool parked in this "separation grabber" mode for a while and see how we get on. At the moment, I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't want that functionality. I don't believe I ever drag a selection unless I separate it and then ...

Yup. Right here: https://youtu.be/8D0ERb1NtfI?t=17s

I see that grabber (hand) tool has little scissors in them so I guess IT IS just a Pro Tools function.
Great. I'll look into that.
