Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a universal MIDI controller, the Raven's software integration is tighter, requiring specific DAW support for full functionality; while it covers major DAWs, it's less flexible for obscure or custom setups.
The primary function is DAW control; while the touchscreen *could* potentially be used for basic drawing, it’s not designed for that purpose and performance may be limited.
Batch Commander has a moderate learning curve, requiring some time investment to master its full potential; however, the preset gestures offer immediate usability for basic tasks.
