Product Description

The Slate Media Technology Raven MTX Mk2 is a state of the art touch screen display featuring the Raven Mixer – a powerful multi-touch mixer that can control all major DAW’s – and a flexible and user-customizable, multifunction Toolbar. The Raven display is housed in an elegant, custom desk whose design echoes that of a vintage analog console and is available with custom finishes and furniture accessories. Finally, The Raven MTX MK2 now incorporates Slate Control, an optional fully analog, full-featured system designed for today’s audio engineer, with multiple speaker outs and input sources, USB, multiple headphone sends and cue options, and much more. And as always, at the heart of the Raven MTX Mk2 is the most important thing of all - your DAW, right at your fingertips.
RAVEN 3.0
Raven 3.0 now adds customized multi-touch control of Ableton Live, Cubase/Nuendo, Digital Performer, Logic Pro X, Pro Tools 10-12, and Studio One V3 on Mac as well as Windows compatibility for Pro Tools 10-12.
THE MODERN PRODUCTION CONSOLE
The Raven was built from the ground up to modernize the idea of the classic recording console. Recording, mixing or mastering with the Raven MTX Production Console is effortless and intuitive. A large-format multi-touch mixer gives you complete access to faders, pans, mutes, solos, sends, automation, and even plugin inserts. Of course on a 46” screen, plugins function as if you were tweaking 19” outboard gear – you can easily tweak the controls with your fingers. Having the DAW at your fingertips makes it easy to directly interact with the music.
FADERS 3.0
Faders 3.0 are Slate’s newest multi-touch faders that allow the most precise control of your DAW faders. By integrating multi-touch 100mm virtual faders directly into each DAW, the engineer has seamless control over mix levels and automation. The new 3.0 algorithm gives the faders a virtual ‘feel’ that allows an intuitive feeling action that is comfortable and even fun to use. And for the most critical automation, “Fine Fader” mode can quadruple the resolution of the faders so you can get even the most minute moves down in the first pass with ease and perfection.
THE RAVEN TOOLBAR
In Toolbar mode, the Raven Toolbar is anchored directly in front of your hands at the base of the touch display. Your DAW controls are where you want them: Transport, Edit/Mix window selector – convenient tools for tracking too, like Record Looping, Click, Create Group, and Undo. Use intuitive multi-touch gestures on the Raven NAVPAD to perform Scrub/Shuttle, Waveform Zoom, Track Zoom, and Track Banking, and Raven Batch Commands. Best of all, because the Raven Toolbar is virtual, it’s user-customizable – put the controls you want where you want them.
THE RAVEN BATCH COMMAND SYSTEM
The Raven Batch Command System is a series of preset and customizable buttons that can execute up to 1,000 key commands and mouse clicks automatically - a true revelation in control. With just one button, BCS allows you to create instant headphone sends, name tracks, put entire drum tracks on the grid, export stems, and so much more! The BCS comes pre-programmed with 100 preset batch commands in every supported DAW, with layouts for Music, Mastering, Post Production and more. Record your own mouse click automation or program user commands with the “Quicklist”, which features hundreds of predefined DAW operations. Just touch and hold on a Batch Command button to edit, and you’ll have access to almost limitless possibilities.
SLATE REMOTE
Slate Remote revolutionizes your workflow in ways you must experience to believe. Slate Remote is a free app for iOS users, available at the app store to anyone with a Raven MTX. Slate Remote automatically synchronizes with your Raven session via wi-fi network and gives you access to your custom batch commands, allowing it to remotely perform time-saving tasks for you from the palm of your hand.
