Product Highlights
Massive Power in a Mini Surface
Avid S1 goes far beyond what you can do with a MIDI-based controller, packing the power of S6 in a package that fits between your display and keyboard—and into your budget. Eight motorized, touch-sensitive faders and knobs respond to your touch, fast-access touchscreen workflows and Soft Keys enable you to perform complex tasks with a single press.
You Can, with EUCON
S1 is powered by EUCON, Avid’s high-speed Ethernet control protocol that delivers deep hardware/software integration, giving you full touch and tactile access to a host of Avid and third-party software functions and controls. You can even switch between multiple applications—and workstations—at the touch of a button, providing the most fluid editing and mixing experience.
Get Deep into Your Mix
From track names, parameter values, and high-res S6-style metering, to 7.1.2 surround panning, 9.2.4 automation status, and channel processing graphs, S1 gives you great insight into your mix. You can also design your own meter layouts, independently, in both the Avid Control mobile and desktop apps.
Stop Banking and Start Spilling
Use custom knob and meter layouts for quickly automating routine tasks, integrate touch screen support, and enjoy countless conveniences that form-fit to the tasks at hand. Now with VCA spill and Folder Track spill, the ability to expand track folders onto separate tracks happens with a single touch.
Expansions for Demanding Workflows
Work in tandem, connecting up to four S1 surfaces—plus Avid Dock—to create a 32-fader system. Adding an Avid Dock allows for precise dialogue editing and audio post mixing with transport controls, jog wheel, focus fader, and more.
Work with Your Favorite Creative Tools
Work across DAWs and NLEs S1 offers deep integration with Pro Tools and Media Composer, plus native support for a variety of third-party audio and video applications, including Logic Pro, Cubase, Premiere Pro, and more, to dramatically speed up editing and mixing tasks.
What is EUCON?
