Avid S6 M40

Customize your surface
Design the perfect mixing surface for your workflow. Choose a preconfigured system or build your own with an accompaniment of Fader, Knob, Process, and Display Modules. Add optional modules for surround and post mixing. Personalize it further with a variety of accessories, from keyboard and script trays to speaker mounts. And because it can be scaled horizontally and vertically, you can configure S6 with the modules you need now to fit your budget, with room to expand in the future as your needs grow.

Get intelligent touch control
The Master Touch Module serves as the engine of your entire surface and central hub of operation. With its 12.1-inch tilting multipoint touchscreen, knobs, and other controls, you can quickly access and control different aspects of your mix and system. Navigate and edit tracks and plug-ins fast. Select, mute, solo, and record-enable channels. View metering and parameter statuses. Monitor and route signals. Configure and manage your S6 setup. And much more.

Work with what you want
You have a lot of choices when it comes to the tools you use to create music, sound for picture, or videos. So why not use a control surface that respects the choices you make? Pro Tools | S6 does. That’s because it features EUCON, a high-speed Ethernet-based technology that enables the hardware to communicate directly with any EUCON-enabled application—and vice-versa. And because it's application-aware, you can switch from a Pro Tools project to Logic Pro, Cubase, and other audio software in seconds.

Features

Expand control across your network
Through EUCON, S6 communicates directly with Pro Tools and other DAWs on your network. Simultaneously control up to eight audio workstations with an M40 Master Touch Module-based surface, or two workstations with an M10-based surface. Even workstations in other rooms across your facility with incredible responsiveness. All from one control surface. 

Control your entire studio
In addition to Pro Tools, you can mix tracks from Logic, Cubase, and other DAWs. And not just one DAW at a time. You can mix and match channels from different DAWs—side by side—on the surface. Create up to 96 custom layouts using multiple tracks from different systems, and instantly recall them from the touchscreen.
