Steven Slate Audio RAVEN MTZ Multi-Touch Production Console

The recording studio has undergone a complete transformation from tactile analogue gear to virtual digital environments, and Steven Slate Audio’s RAVEN MTZ represents the pinnacle of this evolution. This 43″ multi-touch monitor features projective capacitance technology with ten ultra-accurate touch points, seamlessly integrating with digital audio workstation software to create an immersive studio workflow. At just 1.5″ deep with a sleek no-bezel design, the RAVEN MTZ offers ergonomic control that fits perfectly into modern professional studios, with desk options available from top manufacturers including Zaor, Argosy, and Sterling Modular. An iLok dongle or machine activation is required for operation.

The RAVEN’s multi-touch faders provide precise control over your DAW with 100mm virtual faders that integrate directly into each workstation. These faders feature a virtual ‘feel’ that makes mixing intuitive and engaging, whilst the FINE FADER mode quadruples resolution for critical automation work. The GESTURES system utilises classic multi-touch controls for essential DAW functions like plugin management, track muting, and zooming, with Dynamic Gestures automatically detecting your DAW and applying the correct gesture profile whilst translating user key commands seamlessly.

Toolbar mode anchors the RAVEN Toolbar directly at the base of your display, positioning transport controls, edit/mix selectors, and tracking tools exactly where you need them. The intuitive NAVPAD handles scrub/shuttle, waveform zoom, track zoom, and banking functions, all fully customisable to suit your workflow preferences. The revolutionary Batch Command System can execute up to 1,000 key commands and mouse clicks automatically with a single button press, coming pre-programmed with 100 preset commands across Music, Mastering, and Post Production layouts, plus the ability to record custom mouse automation or program commands using the comprehensive QUICKLIST feature.

Slate Remote, a free iOS app, connects wirelessly to your RAVEN session and provides remote access to custom Batch Commands from your mobile device. This integration allows you to perform time-saving tasks remotely, from creating instant headphone sends and naming tracks to putting drum tracks on the grid and exporting stems, all controlled from the palm of your hand.
