Hi Eddie, thanks - I'm aware but haven't been able to try it as long as I'm on Icon.

But it's not really a solution as pixel space is so precious, especially with PT not scaling at all to 4k. I just upgraded to a 30" 2560x1600 screen and it's a great improvement from 27" 1440p, but I'm not keen on giving those pixels back for metering.

ESPECIALLY as the Windows UI is also so dated, with tens of pixels lost to PT's embarassing 20-year old window-in-window design (also complicating multiple screen use, and not allowing to see the desktop in between PT windows - the only thing I detest about leaving Apple TBH).

It should be leds on the surface plain and simple, and just faders + one row (possibly 2) of knobs (so S1-like but with led metering and with no pad rest / a removable pad rest), in 24-32 fader form.

Also, due to wanting to keep the LR line as unobstructed as possible, I don't go for ultrawide screens either, so that would leave part of 24+faders without metering anyway.

Edit: So, it looks like 3-4x S1 and a possible Dock at some point, but I really, really hope that a minimalist "mid-tier" product like I'm envisioning would be coming instead.
