Re: Avid S1 & S4
S1 is $1,200. Avid said so somewhere.
what I want to know is on the S1... are there (one handed) automation mode switching buttons? to go to touch / latch / trim / etc. (?) |

I don't see dedicated mode switches like on the Dock or master section of the bigger boards, but EuCon is highly programmable. There's a way... |

Compared to the s6, the alps faders feel like plastic toys. The S1 will have the same faders as the 20x more expensive S4. Making the S1 the real winner of the day. |

Re: Avid S1 & S4
I got some hands on time with these in Nashville.
S1 does not have automation buttons and the “dock” portion that holds an iPad is permanent. So it’s depth is quite a bit deeper than an Artist which is unfortunate. S4 looks great, biggest issue I see with it is the faders are about the same quality as an S3. To achieve the same quality feel as a d command or d control you still need to move to an S6, which is a shame since I see the S4 as the D Command replacement. The new version of the Avid ios control app was alpha software so very buggy but it looked cool. Apparently the meter mode works because it detects you have the appropriate control surface, so that functionality is not backwards compatible with the artist series. |

Re: Avid S1 & S4
Shift + Rec button next to fader flips through automation modes.
