Avid S1 & S4
...have been announced. They fill clear and obvious holes in the control surface line-up. And it demonstrates continued commitment to EuCon.
Thoughts? Anyone have prices?

Re: Avid S1 & S4
My first dumb thought was are we finally getting eq curves on the Control App? (You know the thing that was shown on the Dock product pages for marketing at the beginning and never materialized. Hopefully marketing isn’t doing the same stupid thing again)
Also hope automation match indicators come to the Control app for those channel strips shown on the S1. Part of me wonders if the S3 fits in now. Also like the new S4 MTM (looks better than the S6 with displaying the 7.1.2 panners in the main area.) Also the tilt up knob unit (which I saw Jeff do on the S6 but haven’t seen the means to do built-in for our S6s) Interestingly, looks like the process units won’t be available for the S4 according to Westlake but all other modules will. Seems a strange oversight. I wonder if the S6 M10 config is dead now (and to some extent the S3).

Re: Avid S1 & S4
According to PTE the S1 price will be comparable to the Artist Mix ($1k) and the S4 will be $25k-ish.

Re: Avid S1 & S4
From a sound editor's POV my questions are:
Are there automation control buttons on the S1? (preview, write etc.) any other hotkeys? The dock eats up too much space for my taste. In an ideal world I wish the elgato streamdeck could support Eucon or (vice versa?) plus 2 S1 and I'm set. The size of the S1 is great, I hope it's possible to optionally remove the iPad holder if you prefer to have the ipad lying flat in front of it instead for easier access to soft-keys without stretching out your arm. F.

Re: Avid S1 & S4
How on earth can a “budget s6” cost more than a s6 m10-8-5?
For the cheaper s3 style faders 10-15k would have been a more sensible starting point. Edit: S4 8 fader: 24000 S6 8 fader: 22000 S4 16 fader: 38000 S6 16 fader: 41000 S4 24 fader: 53000 S6 24 fader: 57000 They are FAR too close together in price to be marketed for smaller studios, you’re better off spending more on the s6, because of the way better faders. |

Re: Avid S1 & S4
Honest question how do you know what faders they're using? Are you at the show? I think the S6 faders are the best Digi/Avid have ever had, it'd be a shame to cut corners there.
