Important Note About DVI Cables & Display
As in many studios, your computer may be located in a room far away from your
console. For DVI cable lengths over 15ft, a DVI signal booster is required. This will
ensure the video signal reaches the display with no signal degradation.
Additionally, when switching sources between DVI and HDMI for the display, you must
press the center button of the remote, or the source button on the OSD board behind
the meter access panel.
You must wait a full 6 seconds before the source will change.
Also there is no RGB input for the MTX. Although it will show as a source, it should be
ignored. It will take around 14 seconds to switch to the RGB source, just be patient
and move on to DVI when the RGB source is selected.

Maintenance And Care
Cleaning the RAVEN MTX
The RAVEN MTX ships with a Revitalizer spray that used a NanoGlide™ coating, which
protects the screen from oil, water, and dirt. The coating also strengthens the surface
of the glass making it scratch resistant and smooth to the touch.
IMPORTANT
Do not use regular cleaning solutions on the RAVEN MTX.
Household sprays and cleaners will affect the touch glass coating, which can impact
performance. We recommend a simple microfiber cloth to clean the surface of the
glass.
If more intensive cleaning is required, use a lightly damp cloth. Make sure that the
cloth is not too wet; the coating will make the water bead and drip. As a precaution,
keep a dry cloth at the bottom of the screen to catch any runoff.
Do not allow moisture from liquids to accumulate on the screen when cleaning.
Accumulation of liquids can damage internal electrical devices. If a damp cloth
must be used, make sure to remove any excess water immediately after cleaning.
To clean RAVEN MTX’s exterior metal parts use a simple microfiber cloth. If deeper
cleaning is required, a non-abrasive cleaning solution can be used on the metal parts
only. Be sure to not spray cleaner on the RAVEN MTX directly, rather spray the
cleaner on to a cleaning cloth away from the RAVEN MTX, then use the dampened
cloth on the RAVEN MTX’s metal parts.
The high gloss lacquer finish on RAVEN MTX’s side panels can be damaged by some
cleaners. Use a gentle cleaning solution. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&

Revitalizing the RAVEN MTX Glass
The RAVEN MTX comes out of the box with a NanoGlide™ coating that repels oil,
water, and leaves the surface incredibly smooth to the touch.
After some use, it may be necessary to revitalize to bring the glass back to its original
slickness. We recommend using the revitalizing solution when you feel the glass has
substantially more friction than when you first started using your RAVEN MTX.
The coating process is very easy and can be done following the steps below. All you
need is a microfiber cloth and the supplied 4oz bottle of Revitalizer/Protector
solution.
IMPORTANT
Apply the revitalizer solution in a well-ventilated area.
NOTE:
The Revitalizer Solution is not a product of Slate Media Technology. Please read the
Revitalizer label for more information, precautions, and first aid instructions.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
10
1. Using a microfiber cloth, clean the RAVEN MTX screen to remove dust and
fingerprints.
2. Spray the revitalizer solution directly onto the RAVEN MTX glass. It should take
approximately six sprays to cover the glass completely.
IMPORTANT
Do not spray so much that the solution drips down the screen. Excess
moisture could damage the display and touch system. If you are unsure,
place a cloth at the bottom of the screen to catch any runoff.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
11
3. Using a microfiber cloth LIGHTLY spread the solution around to cover the entire
screen.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT WIPE/BUFF AWAY ALL OF THE REVITALIZER SOLUTION FROM THE
SCREEN.
The coating on the glass leaves a very thin residual layer of Revitalizer, which
significantly adds to the slickness and oil repellency. Removing all of the
product will leave the glass less smooth than desired.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
12
NOTE:
There will be a residual oil layer on the glass after revitalizing. When the
screen is turned OFF, the glass may appear cloudy. This is OK. You should not
be able to notice this layer when the screen is turned ON. If you do, wipe
gently until you cannot see the oil layer.
Your RAVEN MTX is now back to its original slickness.
Getting Started
System Requirements
The RAVEN MTX will run on any Mac computer, however we recommend these
specifications for optimal performance.
• OSX 10.7 (Lion,) OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion,) OSX 10.9 (Mavericks,) and OSX 10.10
(Yosemite.)
• Intel i7 or Xeon processor with a clock speed of at least 2.4 GHz.
• Minimum 4GB RAM.
• Graphics card with minimum 512MB memory, though 1GB graphics memory is
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
13
recommended.
• Any Mac Pro produced after 2010 should meet all the requirements, though Mac
Mini’s and iMac’s meeting the requirements should be fine. Graphic response
speed will vary depending on the capabilities of the computer’s graphics card.
NOTE:
MacBook Pros are not recommended with the RAVEN MTX.
RAVEN MTX Dimensions
NOTE:
If you are creating custom furniture for your RAVEN MTX, CAD drawings with precise

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT SCREEN CALIBRATION
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
15!
● Calibration should be done sitting in the center position of the console.
Failure to do so will result in an inaccurate calibration point.
● Calibration must be done using a direct and natural touch angle. DO NOT
CALIBRATE WITH A BEND IN YOUR WRIST OR FROM AN EXTREME ANGLE.
Failure to do so will result in an inaccurate calibration.
Correct Touch Angle Incorrect Touch Angle
● Do not use a stylus or other object to calibrate the screen.
● After calibration is achieved, test on desktop applications and software. The
user should be able to open and close windows with ease.
● RAVEN MTX should not be used without confirmation of proper calibration.
To confirm proper calibration, simply go to the Finder and touch random points on
the desktop evaluating the mouse cursor and confirm that the cursor is hidden
undernieth your finger and no black from the cursor is visible. If you can see the
cursor, you should recalibrate.
NOTE:
We have also included a Calibrate button within your Raven Settings for easy
access to the MultiTouchPlatform application. At any time, quickly recalibrate.
This is important to do if multiple users are sharing the RAVEN MTX.
DUAL RAVEN SOFTWARE:
If using two RAVEN’s, users now have access to the “DUAL” button
on the RAVEN opening menu is will activate the RAVEN Software for
DUAL functionality. This again, only is to be used with two RAVEN’s.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&

Controlling Plugins:
Since RAVEN is a brand new platform for controlling audio, there is yet to be
development by many 3rd party plugin manufacturers for touch. While, multi touch
developments are being worked on, some limitations exist.
IMPORTANT:
It is not recommended to touch controls that are small in size.
Plugins should only be touched when there is a large control that is easy to
activate via touch. Otherwise, a mouse should be used to control the plugin.
Plugin parameters are controlled by a single touch only. Functionality is the exact
same as using a mouse and uses the familiar up/down movements to control knobs.
Closing a Plugin:
RAVEN is developed with custom ways to open and close plugins.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&

How To Access What You Saw In The Video:
Before covering the four preset default “Basic” layouts for Batch
Commander and their associated Batch Commands, here are a few that can
be seen in the “Introducing Slate Remote with Batch Commander & RAVEN”
video on our YouTube Channel. (youtube.com/slatedigitaltv)
AUTOMATICALLY ADDING A PLUGIN CHAIN TO MULTIPLE TRACKS:
In the video, we performed the Favorite Plugin Chain 1-5 Batch Command that
added five plugins to our selected tracks. We have added six different
variations on this video Batch Command including Add Default EQ and Dynamic
Chain.
It is important to note that users can customize these to be set to any variation
of Favorite Plugins and Default plugins and account for Native vs. DSP in the
QuickList. To use these Batch Commands, navigate to Layout 3 and utilize the
following Batch Commands:
To use on of the preset chains, select tracks you wish to add your Favorite 1-5
plugin chain to on the Pro Tools Mix Window and hit Favorite Plugin Chain 1-5
to automatically show only the selected tracks, add Favorite Plugins 1-5 to
each one, hide the last plugin window and restore the previous tracks.
Note: You must have 5 Favorite Plugins programmed for this to work. Do
this my holding the Command Key when initiating a plugin on the Insert
Racks. Select a plugin without lifting from the Command key and once
selected instead of the plugin appearing, you’ll notice it is at the top of
your plugin lists.
Note Two: Pro Tools 11 users will have it “Restore Previous Tracks” after
performance, however Pro Tools 10 users will Show All Tracks in the session
including hidden tracks. You can adjust this by Removing it from the command
line if so desired.
Note Three: Also, make sure you have your Default EQ and Dynamics chosen in
your Pro Tools Mixing Preferences.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&

REMOVE INSERTS A-E:
To clear inserts, just select the tracks you want to clear and hit the “REMOVE
INSERTS A-E” Batch Command and again it will show the selected tracks
remove the plugins from Inserts A-E and then restore the previous tracks
displayed.
CREATING AN INSTANT HEADPHONE MIX: PTHD ONLY
Next in the video, we covered making a HEADPHONE MIX with a selection of
tracks. The Pro Tools feature “Copy Mix To Send” is only available in HD
Systems, so it is important to note, that using “New Aux Bus” may be a better
option for LE users. This will perform everything but the Copy Mix To Edit
command.
On Layout 4, we have included “HEADPHONE MIX HD.”
To excecute the Batch Command, select the tracks you wish to create a
headphone mix for and hit HEADPHONE MIX (HD) to automatically, Show Show
Selected Tracks, Create A New Strero Aux Track, copy the send to all selected
tracks and then copy the Mix Level to the Send Level.
Note: This is an HD feature only, Copy Mix To Send does not exist in LE
Systems. Be sure to be showing 5 Inserts and 5 Sends in PT11 and 10ins 5
Sends on PT10. Inserts may change due to screen size and resolution.
CREATING & ACCESSING CUSTOM FADER GROUPS:
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
71!
On Layout 4, users have access to Window Configurations 1-6. As explained
below, the Batch Commander Window Configurations are also already prelinked to specific Markers. To setup a Window Configuation to diplay with
custom faders, follow the following protocol.
To Program Custom Faders, “Show Select Tracks” for the Faders to be
grouped. Then hit the “Enter” button on the Numeric Keypad to create a
Memory Location. Be sure the options to be selected are set to “None” and
“Track Show/Hide.” Name the Memory Location and lastly, be sure to set
the number to associate properly with the desired Window Configuration.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
72!
IMPORTANT: Memory Locations 89-99 have been pre-programmed in the
window configurations to allow you to program custom groups of faders to
launch with associated plugins.
Examples: MEM LOCATION 89 = Con Fig 1, MEM LOCATION 90 = Con Fig 2,
etc.
Now, just save your Window Configuration with the New Window
Configuration Batch Command and number and name it accordingly. Now,
they should be able to be referenced through our Window Configuration 110 Batch Commands.
Note: Window Configurations 6-10 can be located in the QuickList for
custom programming.
OPEN WINDOW CONFIG 1 (Configuration):
Press CON FIG 1 to open window configuration number one & Memory Location
89.
OPEN WINDOW CONFIG 2 (Configuration):

92.
OPEN WINDOW CONFIG 5 (Configuration):
Press CON FIG 5 to open window configuration number five & Memory Location
93.
PUTTING DRUMS ON THE GRID WITH ONE BUTTON:
On Layout 4, we have included the two Batch Commands, TEMPO MAP and SNAP
TRANS GRID. As displayed in the video, the first step is tempo mapping one bar
on the track you want to snap to the grid, then with SNAP TRANS GRID, the
Batch Command will cut the track by the transients, snap them to the grid,
fade them and then consolodate the entire track.
To perform this Batch Command, it is important to first use the TEMPO MAP
Batch Command (We have included Tempo Map 1-4 Bars in the QuickList.)
Once tempo mapped, Select the audio you wish to modify and press SNAP TO
GRID FADE CONSOLIDATE to separate transients and snap to the grid, new
regions will be faded and consolidated.
Note: You can do this with multiple tracks after tempo mapped once.
IMPORTANT: The delay may need to be adjusted pending the size of the
audio track you are performing the function on to allow for more time.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
74!
AUTOMATICALLY TURNING MIDI TRACKS TO AUDIO TRACKS:
In the video, we show 5 MIDI Tracks being bounced, named, imported as
audio tracks and then hiding the previously needed MIDI. We have included
two options for accomplishing this task on Layout 4.
MIDI TO AUDIO:
By default, we have included MIDI TO AUDIO (1 Track) however in the QuickList
you can access the 1-10 different MIDI TO AUDIO options, if preferred.
Our included 1-10 different MIDI TO AUDIO options will show only the selected
MIDI tracks and perform the conversion to the number of MIDI tracks you set
the MIDI TO AUDIO Batch Command to.
To Create Your Own Custom Versions of these Manually:
First, Move the Instrument or MIDI tracks to the top of the session so they are
located at Tracks 1-5. Then, select the first track and Press “MIDI TO AUDIO 1
BAR” to automatically bounce and name the MIDI track. Then Batch
Commander will make the MIDI inactive and hide the track entirely.
Note: Before running this Batch Command you must have import after bounce
selected in the bounce menu. Also you may need adjust the delay time of the
BC to account for how long the midi track actually is. To add delay just hit Key
Command and without programming a key command in the Batch Command
System Menu, add delay of 9999ms and repeat as many times as needed.
Performance Notes:
For individual MIDI track To Audio track bouncing, move the Instrument or MIDI
track to the top of the session so it's are located at Track 1. Then, select it and
Press "MIDI To Audio” to automatically bounce and name the MIDI track to an
Audio Track. Then Batch Commander will make the MIDI track inactive and hide
the it entirely.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
75!
TIP: Before running this Batch Command YOU MUST HAVE “Import After
Bounce” selected in the bounce menu.
Also you may need to adjust the delay time of the Batch Command to account
for the length of the MIDI Track (as this varies from user to user and session to
session.)
Then Bounce To Disk Key Command (CMND-OPTION-B)
To add delay time, use a Blank Key Command with a Delay on the right column,
and a repeat of 3-24 of the Batch Command Menu Command Line.
Then, Set to 9999ms and repeat as many times as needed using the repeat
column next to the delay.
A delay time of 9999ms and repeat of 6 will add to 1min
A delay time of 9999ms and repeat of 12 will add to 2min
A delay time of 9999ms and repeat of 18 will add to 3min
A delay time of 9999ms and repeat of 24 will add to 4min
HOW TO BOUNCE 5 MIDI: (QuickList Item: “5 MIDI TO AUDIO”)
Performance Notes:
Move 5 Midi tracks to top of session to be Tracks 1-5. This is important as the
Batch Command relies on track number to function correctly.
Also, make sure import after bounce is enabled
Note: There is a 10 Second Delay Time for bouncing so if your system requires
longer to bounce, you will need to repeat the delay time to compensate for the
amount of MIDI attempting to bounce.

paste a copied MIDI note down to the next track pasting the notes according
to the transients of the audio track above it.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
77!
AUDIO TO MIDI:
Press AUDIO TO MIDI to paste MIDI notes to the audio track above the
instrument track being used.
How To Use: Place an audio track above an empty instrument track at the top
of the session. Create one MIDI note and place it on the instrument track on
whichever note needs to be triggered. Highlight the one MIDI note and hit the
copy/cut button on the Batch Commander toolbar or CMND+C or CMND+X
Locate the transport cursor on the audio track above the MIDI track at a
location you would like to start copying the AUDIO to MIDI. Hit the AUDIO TO
MIDI Batch Command and watch it paste MIDI notes to the instrument track
directly below the audio track.
Note: This Batch Command will only paste one MIDI note by default. Change
the number of notes by Right-Clicking or Control-Clicking the Batch
Command and adjusting the “Repeat” column to the number of notes you
would like to paste.
IMPORTANT: AUDIO TO MIDI is also labelled “TAB PASTE MIDI - ONE TIME
Repeat As Needed” in the QuickList.
CREATING & AUTOMATICALLY NAMING NEW TRACKS:
On Layout 1, there are multiple New Track Types that can be clicked to
create new tracks.
RAVEN&MTX&PRO&TOOLS&USER&MANUAL&&&&&
78!
Once added desired tracks, naming them is quick and easy, but requires the
Track Name dialogue window to be open.
Once opened, on Layout one there are a few different naming varieties.
For example, create 4 New Audio Tracks and douple-click the Track Name of
the Top track of the four created. With the dialogue window for Track Name
still open and the named text still highlighted, Press NAME LEAD VOCALS X4 to
name four tracks Lead Vocals 1-4.
Again, first double-click the first track that is to be renamed of the four tracks
then Press Name Lead Vocals x4 to instanly rename 4 consequtive tracks. To
use, be sure and have the top track name window open by double clicking and
the track text highlighted.
