Default S1 solo and mute

Being a Cubase user, the solo colour is red and the mute colour is orange. It's the other way round on the S1.

Is there a utility/Vegas mode or any way of swapping these colours around? In the interests of visual consistency, this would be extremely useful.

Is it a hardware(I.e. no RGB LEDs) or a software constraint?
I've seen that the solo/mute LEDs on the S3 and Dock change colour in vegas mode.

Its hardware, RGB LED's and the chips to power them cost 5x a single color LED. When multiplied by 16 it soon adds up.

This is a fair point. Would it be possible to request a custom S1 with the LEDs switched round uring assembly?


If this is not possible, have you got pictures of the board and/or a schematic to send on to a tech to desolder and resolder the LEDs?

Its not just the LED's, its the driver chips, board layout, firmware, EuControl and many other things that would need to change. Just to give you a very rough idea, it would cost Avid over $200k to do this.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance when it comes to electronics. I'll have a word with Steinberg to see if they can provide the option to switch colours in the DAW instead or if the theme can be hacked.
