However, these instructions are only for 8 channels and Raven uses 24. To add the other 16 channels, either repeat the original steps for V-Control XT2 and V-Control X3.

I appreciate the feedback. IMac user here( 27'). I'll check over at the Presonus forum to see if someone is using it over there. Then be aware that the resolution on the raven is much.

Erm, smaller (what's the correct word here?). I.e., screen is as big but everything on it is bigger too - to less faders visible at the same time, for instance. See for instance this pic from the mti homepage - notice plugin size in relation to hand size. Of course, if this weren't the case, small buttons would be harder to hit.
