    There is a much smarter approach to a touchscreen. Take a look at the Fairlight Xynergi controller.

    https://au.fairlight.com.au/product/xynergi/

    It is dedicated hardware with jog wheels and dedicated numeric keypad and transport controls. Everything else is a screen displayed under a bank of buttons that operate like a keyboard, but every key can be instantly remapped by the edit mode you chose.

    The hands in the air Theramin style controller like in Minority Report is not the best ergonomics for editing. You know touchscreens that beep are outdated. Just watch Star Trek Next Gen. The iPad just makes me wonder how many trekkies are in R&D at Apple. The less the better for mine.
