My dream setup -- is this possible?

Ok, I'm new to these forums, so I don't know much and was hoping somebody would help me to get started....

I've been thinking about getting the overpriced Lemur for some time now, but it's just not gonna happen. With the new version 5 allowing multi-touch user interface and the upcoming Windows 7 tablet pc's, my dream may finally come to true!

Here's the setup I was thinking of getting:

Run Usine V5 on HP TouchSmart tm2-1000 laptop (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho ... 78805.html) with multi-touch capability (not sure if it's dual or real multi-touch, though) and connect my Behringer DDM4000 mixer to the laptop, thus allowing me to have main master/FX controls on the mixer.

I'm getting a Windows 7 multi-touch laptop/tablet for the only purpose of having a touch-sensitive step sequencer, so I would like to know if my setup is possible. I don't know all of the technical details, but the issues that might come up is whether Usine got support for my MIDI-compatible mixer (I know that I can connect it to my laptop running Ableton) and I believe that the laptop running Usine need to have a specific soundcard as well? I'm also not so sure if there're any specific CPU requirements, like if I get a cheap tablet and it won't be able to handle the horsepower etc.

Any help much appreciated!

welcome hightunes !

not easy to answer in a few words..
about the HP TouchSmart tm2-1000 laptop , take the time to find good users reviews , and not from guys who use it only for web surf and small cpu works..

About your Behringer DDM4000 , seems that he use only CC and midi note , so this will not be a problem with Usine

About sound card , yes, the better way is to have an asio sound card ( or wdm with asio4all )

Thanks, I'm really excited about this!

But I suppose I gonna need to wait some more, as I want at least 6 point multiple-touch ... and the only more or less decent one is the Stantum demo bitch which goes at around the same price as a second-hand Lemur *meh*
