There's actually one thing I'd like to know.

I see you have an APC40 besides the S4 and you're on Mac. Presumably, Ableton too I'm wondering how would it work if you output Ableton to the S4's Master Out channel and monitor to the S4's Headphone channel.

Ideally, i'd like to know if that would work fine with S4 + Maschine, but it should be almost the same if it's done with the S4 & Ableton - they'd both end up to the same CoreAudio set of channels.

If you ever feel like testing it, I'll be very glad to know how it goes.

P.S. Routing S4 to Ableton (or vice versa) through Soundflower should also be possible, I guess, but that means that S4 wouldn't be usable with timecode control when it comes.

Congratulations on your new gadget! Thanks for sharing with us.

I Have Ableton 8.2 running and using the S4 for audio output. I have the S4 the APC40 and a MPK49 all hooked up and working fine in ableton. I am going to start tinkering with some midi assignments for the S4 in ableton but not sure if it will work since the s4 is HID not MIDI but i assume it is sending some sort of signal so i should be able too... I am actually on a Windows XP box and have Windows 7 on my performance laptop.

If you have a GC nearby and they have stock, I highly suggest you pick one up before Sunday as GC has a 10% coupon that is valid until that day. I used my 10% discount to help offset a purchase of GC's extended coverage so I'm covered for two years for anything except a theft.

Can't wait til I'm finished with work. Love you Guitar Center!!

The On-Stage Mixer Stand (got it from GC) is a perfect stand for the S4. You can angle it, and raise or lower it as you see fit. None of the front or rear jacks and controls are blocked either - solid.

Wow... you just made my day. I just Order this for $879 from GC in NYC with tax. This coupon saved me. Thank you so much.
