There is no question about the fact that it is more powerful (If it is fully implemented) but it is not. I work with Logic and Mackie defiantly not shinny as Eucon controllers but is is extremely stable (Using midi) no fallouts. No disconnects and every single thing just works. Now please don't misunderstand me. I would love to have these controllers if they were working as they should.

Here are a few really small things that i believe can take these to a different level. And as far as i understand in computing should be very easy to implement. The question is if Avid want to.

This has to do with the Avid control app (which is a 80% of the reason i got these S1's)

a. why not have the control app view menus able to be controlled by a soft key.
If i want to open a plugin from a soft key or from anywere, I want the control app to jump to channel view right away automatically for me to start editing.

b. If "a" is really complicated to do. Why not at least give us the main softkeys pages as an option on the channel page instead of meters as these 2 views are probably the most used.


Now to the bugs of the new control app with logic.

1. Logic "Sends on faders" commend is not working. (Mackie does) it needs to be implemented as it's a very useful feature in logic.

2. The track view on the new control app with logic pro does not show the track colors. It did when it was Pro Tools Control. Something happened. actually If you try to turn on "Display brakes on track color" option, The display go crazy. Try it.

Now on the S1 units why if i go to channel mode (Shift+flip) when i'm on inserts. It will stay on channel mode when i go to pan. This just does not make since at all. In a perfect world, The S1 will remember on which of the modes (EQ, Inserts, Dyn, Pan....) i like to be on channel mode and on which i don't. Hope i'm explaining it clear.

And then back to the original post of the 8 buttons only.

Also, Would be nice to be able to select a channel from the meter view on the ipad. Won't work now. Only from the mixer view

Sorry for the long post but i am trying to be detailed as possible.
