The modular Avid S3L System is comprised of a high-performance HDX-powered processing engine running AAX plug-ins, scalable remote I/O that can live on stage or in a rack, and a head-turning, compact control surface that’s built for the road, but equally at home in the studio.

A fault-tolerant Gigabit Ethernet network connects all devices and uses the open Ethernet AVB and EUCON standards for maximum performance and flexibility. Award-winning VENUE software drives the system, and with Virtual Soundcheck and direct Pro Tools integration, re-creating the sound of the studio has never been easier—or more accessible.

The Future Progressive Lead series is designed with one thing in mind; memorable lead melodies. With 75 loops in 25 folders, you're sure to find the right lead for your next track.

Razor-sharp tonality and bold phrasing make these loops perfect for modern, cutting-edge Progressive House and other electronic productions.
