The Tango looks very interesting. However for my usage, and I imagine a fair amout of other users, there is maybe too much touch screen space. For thoses of use who do mostly composing and arranging, we don't want to see all the time what all the eq's and comps are doing.
We have limited realestate on our desktops, and we are all getting bigger and bigger computer screens. I'll be interested to hear from folks with a 16 or 24 channel configuration, how they like having all that screen space in front of them. The high rising expanders might also block the sound monitors!?
The ability to dispose of a computer keyboard right on the main touch screen must be fantastic. Do you find that having that, you don't need a dedicated keyboard?
I currently have 24 channels of Mackie Control Pro (on Logic). I've tried the Euphonix Artist thing which was nice, but maybe a little flimsy. I'm pretty sure that I'd be satisfied with having only half the touch screen space on the central unit (Tango), and then only a few inches up (slanted) on the expanders (non touch) for led and other minimal info.
