What is missing between one and three? S1 is 8-fader and S3 is 16-fader. Would the S2 be 8-fader with OLED display or what are your thinking?

Maybe a decked out “S3” sized controller with an actual meter bridge, transport and control room monitor controls.

Wouldn't S2 be smaller than S3 sized, logically thinking?

I was talking about S2, but okay, the "S5" that I imagine would be 32-fader controller with 5.1 (or if you are dreaming, a 7.1) monitor controller built in.

Take Avid C24 and add 8 faders, make it EUCON and add some modern bling blihg (OLED displays) and there you go.

I think they'll avoid "S5" because that was shorthand for the Euphonix System 5 (which had a few versions over its lifespan and became "hybrid" as a DAW controller in its final forms based around Eucon)

The "S6" (pretty sure on this) was called that because it was the desk that "followed" after the S5. And then the other name changes (Mix > S1) are derivatives off of that naming scheme (verses the previous ICON series which existed before the buy of Euphonix.) So "S" most likely stands for "System"

Maybe Eddie will chime in on this...
