I can't remember where now, but I remember seeing a video demo of a mixing desk
that consisted of two positively huge touch screens - one as a sloping desk,
the other a vertical panel behind it. It was true multi-touch. The guy was
moving fistfuls of (large) faders on the lower panel and the upper one, as
well as displaying all sorts of info had what I think were routing controls.

there's the Raven and there's the Waves Emotion mixer.
 
i don't know much about the Raven - the Emotion is just a conventional very large multitouch monitor/surface with software.

I saw this one[1] at PLASA in London a few years ago I believe. I wasn't impressed from what I remember. Multitouch seemed to at least work for the two control but there was quite a bad lag, even when just using one finger, and the screen they had really didn't seem to have the resolution. Sure it could (and most likely is) done far better now!
