At the foundation of Dexter’s groundbreaking concept lies JazzMutant’s patented Multitouch Display Technology. Unlike traditional touch-sensitive displays, Dexter’s sensor lets your ten fingers perform simultaneous actions on-screen with great responsiveness. While this means basic operations like levelling multiple tracks are perfectly possible with Dexter, this also allows for novel and intuitive ways to navigate inside a project and interact with its various aspects like equalizers, inserts and surround panning. Dexter's virtual widgets are immune to wear-out, and make DAW controlling feel and look natural.

Visual feedback has long been the Achille's heel of controllers. With Dexter, users experience a feedback so complete they can switch off their computer's display altogether.Indeed, never has a controller been as tightly integrated with Digital Audio Workstations. JazzMutant has partnered with leading DAW developers to offer visual feedback and two-way communication. The entire state of your project is constantly mirrored on Dexter's screen : track and effects names fully displayed with no abbreviations, level meters, timecode, as well as precise surround position and exact EQ curves updated in real-time.
