“The first thing that’s absolutely fabulous to do on a touchscreen is sample editing. You can pinch to zoom and swipe to scroll through your waveforms. Editing the start and end points on samples is an absolute joy — I can’t believe I ever lived without it. We have a pencil tool that, with one touch, can slice up your waveforms and assign them to a pad. We have a grid view where you can draw notes on the screen — you can highlight a bunch of notes, and nudge them by timing division using the data wheel, or set it so they don’t snap to grid just by holding a button down.”
