Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
Yes of course its discontinued, cause better hardware for lower prices is not worth to exist anymore.Better to sell a S4 with ALPS Faders for a price tag in the start for 24999 $ brings more money than selling a s6 m10 starting at 17999 $ with high quality faders...
How much is the price for an ALPS Fader 35 Dollar, like the ones in the S3.... I will go for it end of the year and i think the s6 m10 is still avaiable, cause in this price range people aren´t buying out this so fast... |

I bought the S3 when it came out in 2014. It took until early 2019 until it began to be fun working with it. The EuControl Software still feels very 90s. I would love to pay for a good software support for a $5000 console. You can't expect high hardware sales with a software that doesn't seem to get the attention it needs. Mixing on a D-Control still gives you the feeling of a better integrated hardware and software... my 2ct...

I also think the little OLED screens can do more. Graphics, sub-menus, etc. See: Digitakt interfaces. |

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
Just to clarify the S4 is not more expensive than the M10 overall. Yes, the very bottom base system is slightly more but the rest of the S4 systems are many thousands cheaper. You also get the ability to add displays so one could compare with M40 systems and then you are looking at $20k cheaper.
A customer last month looking for a 24 fader S6 with displays now has a $20k+ cheaper alternative if they want. |

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
with cheap ALPS Faders.... No way sry
I don t buy a 37k cobtrol surface with the same Faders, my s3 has now... And Avid said, that the ability to add Display modules will come for the s6 m10... (s6 m10+)... So all the s6 m10 users, can use this totally overpriced Display Modules... Why should i pay thousands and thousands of dollars for s4, which comes with cheap faders. No... The S6 M10 is still a better choice, than this s4...Its all about marketing, isn´t it... Lets sell medicore hardware for the same price, that our s6 is... Yeah... good idea... We save money and all the lambs are jumping in... At last.. Think about it and give the s4 the same high quality Premium TKD faders... I think for the price range of the s4... it is the right decision... Last edited by TrackerLe; 08-01-2019 at 09:27 AM. |

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
We did try and it looked like a massive amount of work to fix all the issues. It was designed before my time on it and only as a single unit. At this point, I would say probably not, sorry.

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
And just to extend that question (not sure if it's been answered already), is it likely that we will be able to run 1 or more S1's alongside an S3?

Re: so no possibility to use more s3s but what about the S1
And by the way, I personally always appreciate a straightforward answer like this rather than some manufacturers who will leave their users hanging in hope of something that is unlikely to happen. Clarity is so much better where possible.
