The Pilot is a professional multi-touch display designed for music production and creative workflows on macOS. It integrates a capacitive touchscreen with a high-resolution display in a single unit, giving you direct tactile control over your DAW — faders, knobs, timeline, mixer, and more — without reaching for a mouse or controller.

The Pilot is available in two sizes: an 18.5-inch model with a native resolution of 1920×1080 (Full HD), and a 27-inch model with a native resolution of 3840×2160 (4K UHD).

The Pilot supports up to 10 simultaneous touch contacts at the hardware level. The BUSOIO driver uses up to 4 simultaneous fingers for multi-parameter control and gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scrolling, and three-finger swipes.

The Pilot connects via a single USB cable for touch input, plus a display cable (HDMI or USB-C depending on model) for the video signal. The touchscreen is automatically recognised by the BUSOIO driver when the display is connected — no manual pairing or configuration required.

The Pilot uses a capacitive touch panel. You can use any passive capacitive stylus for basic interaction, but the hardware does not include an active pen digitizer — meaning there is no pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, or hover support. For precise pen input with pressure, we recommend pairing the Pilot with a dedicated pen tablet.

Yes. The BUSOIO driver installs a display override profile that unlocks HiDPI resolutions for your Pilot model. The 18.5-inch supports scaled resolutions from 1024×576 up to 1920×1080 (effective) at 2× backing, and the 27-inch supports scaled resolutions from 1280×720 up to 3840×2160 at 2×. You can cycle through resolutions using a three-finger vertical swipe gesture, or set them manually in System Settings → Displays.

Yes. The BUSOIO driver provides software-based brightness and contrast controls accessible from the menu bar icon and the settings window. On Apple Silicon Macs, this uses gamma table adjustment for reliable, driver-level control.

The Pilot requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. It runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 and later) and is also compatible with Intel Macs.

The BUSOIO driver includes dedicated touch profiles for Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Bitwig, Reason, GarageBand, Luna, Mixbus, Akai MPC, SSL 360, and DaVinci Resolve. Each profile maps touch gestures to the DAW's native keyboard shortcuts and control surfaces. A generic default profile is available for any other application.
