iPad app, providing rich visual feedback to enhance your workflow. From track names, parameter
values, and automation, to S6-style monitoring, metering, and channel processing views, you get

create an extended, fully integrated control surface that provides more tactile control to handle
larger mixes. You can even seamlessly connect Pro Tools | Dock to S1 to have dedicated
