Option to add (2) Tablets to the S3 like the S1
It would be great to see Avid (or a third party) design a simple bracket that you could add/hold two tablets to the S3. And that it would implement the same features as the S1 will be offering with the new Protools-Control app.

will never happen. the S3 is end of life....and will vanish, after the release of the S1, which brings features like up to 32 faders ...
The s3 is dead...sry |

If it works, I can imagine fabricating a dual iPad holder out of a piece of 2x4(but then again, I have built all my own studio furniture and such for the past 16 years). Maybe I'll build a bunch and sell to S3 owners

Re: Option to add (2) Tablets to the S3 like the S1
First off, the S3 is absolutely not at end of life. The S1 and S3 are two different controllers. One does not preclude the other. Artist Mix is a different story.
Secondly, you can add as many tablets as you want to an S3. There is nothing proprietary about the S1 that allows it to pair with a tablet besides the bracket that holds it. The two operate completely separately but in tandem. You will be able to use that same tablet app with or without an S1 or S3 or anything else. It's just PT Control running on a tablet.

I am by no means certain of any of this, just going off what I remember from the articles and video surrounding the S1 and PT|Control app date announcement. We won't know for sure until it is released.

It looks like the avid control app can show 4 track meters when the tablet is set in portrait mode, or 8 track meters when set to landscape mode. So if you want a display meter bridge, it looks like physically you would need either 2 or 4 tablets in order to line it up correctly. In this case, it looks like it will only be 2 because of the physical space constraints. I'd like to better compare the functionality and features that distinguish an S1 from an S3. A handy display metering bridge that lines up with each track is one such feature I would like to know more about. Does it currently work that way with the S3 or nah |

Re: Option to add (2) Tablets to the S3 like the S1
The meter function only seem to work with the S1 and not the S3. I Hope I am wrong but we tried and couldn’t get that sweet metering function with our S3.

Re: Option to add (2) Tablets to the S3 like the S1
Each control app is bound specifically to a S1 unit in Eucon from what I am seeing with mine. You will literally see this unit in the same line as the S1 not separate as you would for the master control app with the dock. So one meter bridge per S1 is hard set as far as I can tell. They work as a unit. S3 folks need to just accept its not going to happen for them as a meter bridge and honestly for avid there is no need to rewrite to change that. it just is what it is.
