Re: Avid S1...I am excited!
Quote:
Sure, I do understand that Avid would prefer selling me a new Dock. However the Dock is rather the successor of the MC Control than the MC Transport. Especially with a S1, I'd never use the Dock's Fader, iPad holder and rotary encoders anyway. And the latter make the Dock IMHO just too big and too expensive. Therefore I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that MC Transport + S1 would be an awesome combo worth getting supported! ... or then, bring us a _real_ MC Transport successor , maybe some "Dock Light": Just the transport buttons, the wheel (+ bring back the shuttle ring?) and some buttons controlling what the wheel does. The result should take less space on the desk, fit next to a S1 (magnets) and have a price tag around 1/3 of the S1 (similar ratio as Transport vs Artist Mix).

And I get the streamlined S6 in a more economical package concept. But ... one can see from the posts in the discussion that artist mix and transport users are also (equally?) concerned about fitting into tight spaces. And S1 with Dock both with ipads are going to take more space vertically and depth. Noted width of S1 is smaller than Mix. Dock I get is useless without iPad. S1 - as years of Artist Mix experience suggests - is useful with OLED displays and with monitors on a shelf on small project desk for correct viewing height, makes the S1's iPad physically connected stand clunky sticking out the top/back without an ipad. You really have two goals (amongst others) - getting the S6 experience in economical package and fitting devices in tight spaces. Removable clip iPad stands on the S1 would have given you both. |

Re: Avid S1...I am excited!
Is there already any available list of supported Ipad (screen size) for the S1? Is it the same list as the one for the Dock?

Re: Avid S1...I am excited!
No official list but it should work on the currently supported iPads, newer iPhones, Android tablets from the past few years and newer Android phones. It's looking like the speed and memory will be the gating factor not screen size.

Re: Avid S1...I am excited!
The ones in the pictures are the new 12" iPad Pros. The mounting channel is straight across with no sides.

Re: Avid S1...I am excited!
Agreed, I hate things sticking up blocking my monitor, which is low on the desk, I want to look down at my work and up out the window! It would have been so easy to make the back clip detachable.
