so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
I see, the s1 is coming soon and it can be up to 32 channels...
What will happen with the S3 Eddie Jones? Will there be a possibility to add some S1 to a S3 Setup... More interesting is for me... Will there be stands to hold more Ipads for the S3 to use the Metering in the same way, like the S1... OR IS the S3 end of life?... I think its end of life, isn´t it... And why selling a S4, which is a normal S6 M10 with Display Modules... Its so affordable? like the Marketing says... Hey it costs more than a S6 M10... Very affordable.... |

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
One aspect of the S3 that the S1 can't beat is for those that use large displays, ie 30" 2560 x 1600. The height of the S1 with an iPad would be quite high. (I have removed all of the rubber on my Dock for this reason...and it makes it a lot better).
I would also miss the 2 rows of OLEDS. S1 does look impressive however, if perhaps not for the the updated control app, which I look forward to seeing. You can obviously run more than device now, which is fantastic IMO.

Apart from the top row of encoders (which I don't use very often) I see 2xS1 as a replacement of the S3. It is also a lot cheaper!
You're not forced to use the ipads so you can hang your large monitor over it. |

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
It's a lot more complicated than that. Avid has to make money on the sales to enable the free software support and develop new products. Hardware prices are not just set, they are calculated from a large number of things, from development cost, to parts cost, manufacturing cost, supporting the hardware, software dev, not to mention general day to day running of Avid. The S3 isn't cheap to make unfortunately.

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
But why does the S4, which is more expensive than the S6 M10 only have
cheap ALPS Faders and no Premium TKD faders... If i have to decide, i would go for a s6 m10, than a S4, which has cheap faders... This is normal... Sell Hardware for higher prices with lesser quality... My next purchase will be a s6 m10, and no s4... |

The S6-M10 is being/is discontinued. So your "next purchase" better happen fast or you'll be buying on the used market to get one.
