Anyone have a better idea? My surface requirements might differ from yours. When I want a surface it's usually because click-hold-drag on a mouse for hours at a time is hard on my hand. But, I also want a surface because I want to run more than one slider at a time. When running live sound I usually have >4 sliders under my fingers at all times. That use pattern follows me to a control surface at times. Will an Android device allow multiple slider control? I haven't seen that gesture supported. That said, TouchDAW sounds like it could be convenient for transport control when recording myself from across the room.
