is this the touch screen job?
i read a review on it, sounds like an awesome bit of kit

Yeah the whole thing is a giant touch screen

Cool and definitely the way of the future, I reckon, for all sorts of things. A physical control interface is expensive to manufacture whereas a software controlled one costs almost nothing to mass-produce, is more flexible and very easily upgraded.

And now that touch screens are fast becoming ubiquitous we're bound to see a lot more of this sort of thing - and not just in the music world.

Only be any good when they can deform the screen to make a tactile area where the controls are.

I can hardly type on my phone keyboard, mixing on that would irritate the he'll out of me!

Phone keyboards are cr@p because of their size - mind you, kids seems to be able to type very fast on them. Generational thing perhaps? I guess configurable 'control surface' hardware add-ons will be available untili the old school have all retired.
