While it looks cool to pinch and zoom etc, it's pretty clunky in action. However (as described in my Touch book, available at all good book shops...), a hybrid workflow using a combination of data wheel and tapping the screen for selection purposes is incredibly fast. So basically the touch screen is used instead of cursor/arrow keys to quickly navigate around the screen to select the next parameter. Works well.
I chalk that up to the fact that the MPC Touch's screen was really just mirroring a hidden window running on the host PC, which traditionally is a laggy affair. If you've edited samples on the iMPC Pro app, you'd see just how juicy things can be.
I have much higher hopes for touchscreen performance on a standalone. Also, it looks like one big difference between the Touch and the images of the LIVE prototype is the screen. It looks like they're upping the tech there.
