Reply to S4 software with Audio 8 // S4 controller as a standalone midi mixer?

Hey guys, been going through the community s and I'm getting swamped in information, got a couple of questions

1: Can the S4 software be used with an Audio 8 + Control vinyl without the controller

2: Can the S4 Hardware be used with TSP

I'm not convinced I can let go of playing out without control vinyl or that I would be able to take the S4 into every club environment so it would be great if I could just take my Audio8, laptop and control vinyl as usual and use the S4 software!

Cheers
