Yeah… I don’t have a touch screen but I do have a 6 page metagrid macro setup on my ipad for Cubase and it certainly helps. However, whenever I need access to a list of actions in Reaper I just create a new dropdown menu or popup toolbar (with any icons I like), and set it to appear at my mouse cursor with a hotkey or button. My studio ipad is gathering dust.
I love Cubase, I’ve used it for about 15 years and made some genuine hit records with it, but Reaper is now my main DAW.
If Steinberg fixes the inconsistent core loading, constant audio interrupts on routing/adding/removing FX/sends etc, and opens up the key commands a LOT (or creates some kind of scripting/advancement to the logical editor that allows us to create these key commands ourselves) then I will be happy to make a return, there are still many things I love about it… Channel EQ gui’s in the mixer for example, or variaudio, which is hands down the BEST vocal tuning software of any DAW. I use melodyne now via ARA, and it’s great, I know it well, but I still pine for variaudio I can tune a vocal SO FAST in variaudio. The way they’ve set up the little handles around the notes is so elegant and fast to use (once you tick the ‘advanced mode’ or whatever it’s called).
