Improved Features
- Mai Tai, Sample One XT, and Presence XT now offer support for compatible controllers to modulate individual notes in a chord independently using Poly Pressure (polyphonic aftertouch) or MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). In Mai Tai and Presence XT, pitch, pressure, and timbre are available as modulation sources inside the modulation matrix, allowing these to be routed to any available destination. In Sample One XT, the pressure parameter is connected to the AMP and Filter. The amount can be controlled with a knob.
Browser Favorites and Folders
- Studio One’s innovative browser gets even better in version 6. Organize plug-in and instrument presets into custom folders that you can create right inside the browser. Presets for plug-ins and virtual instruments can now be marked as Favorites. Presets marked as Favorites are automatically mirrored inside a new Favorites folder at the top of the respective preset list.
Start Page
- Studio One’s Start Page is now even more flexible. Organize your Songs, Projects, and Shows into custom folders, allowing you to put all the files associated with a single artist or production in one convenient location. Pin favorites documents and view all your shared PreSonus Sphere documents in a single folder. Producers and mixing engineers working with multiple artists can now manage and create a unique Artist Profile preset for each client. Each profile includes name, genre, website, and an image—all of which are embedded as ID3 tags when exporting a mixdown for streaming or digital download.
Other Notable Additions
- Sends on FX Channels, allowing the output signal of one effect to be sent to another
- Sidechain audio input for virtual instruments
- Bus, FX, and Cue Mix sends now have the option to link panning to the channel pan control. Cue Mix sends provide independent link options for Volume and Pan
- Micro view controls for third-party plug-ins
- Track and Channel Icons
- Spot option for Events offers a number of options for positioning Events on the timeline based on event attributes such as start/end points or their original timecode position
Track Presets
New and Improved Plug-Ins
- Tame vocal sibilance and other high-frequency sounds with the new De-esser. The De-esser in Studio One is efficient and intuitively easy to use. Find the problematic frequency with the Listen button, then dial in the amount of S-Reduction using the associated knob together with the S-Mon function. Choose between narrow and wide shapes for the reduction band, as well as gentle (-6 dB) or full (-48 dB) range gain reduction. The included presets are excellent starting points for customization.
Vocoder (New)
- Expanding Studio One’s set of creative custom plug-ins, the new Vocoder is a creative playground like no other that lets you combine two input signals to create an entirely new sound processed by an array of bandpass filters. Turn your voice or any audio source into a unique synth or effect. Vocoder will inspire you to play with audio.
ProEQ3 (Improved)
- The latest incarnation of ProEQ delivers two new powerful features, making it an indispensable tool for producers and mixing engineers. Each frequency band can now be soloed, so you can easily hear even the most surgical adjustments in isolation. In addition to solo, each band now features a dynamic mode to trigger boosts or cuts of the desired frequency band dynamically based on a set amplitude threshold.
Autofilter (Improved)
- The popular Autofilter plug-in has been updated to offer several useful enhancements including independent Attack and Release controls for the envelope and a Flip option to in
New Features
- Virtual instruments (VST2, VST3, AU) like samplers and vocoders that require an external audio source now have access to any audio source within the mixer using a side-chain input. Similar to FX plug-ins with a side-chain input, the sidechain signal can be routed conveniently from the source or destination. Aux Channels may be used to route external audio signals to a virtual instrument using a side-chain.
Advanced Mixer with Fader Flip
- Studio One’s Console supercharges mixing with the new Fader Flip. Control FX/bus sends, side-chains, and Cue Mix sends all from the main faders. Fader Flip is easy to access, too. Just right-click on the desired Send and select Flip. Now the entire send mix for the selected bus can be controlled from the channel faders. Unassigned channels can be hidden from view or activated as needed.
Alternative Panning Modes
- Stereo channels now feature a choice of pan modes. You can choose between balance, dual, or binaural panning for any stereo channel. The new panner pop-up editor provides a large pan control, a context menu to switch between modes, plus dedicated controls for each mode. The basic balance control remains available in all mixer views, as well as a standard pan control for external hardware controllers.
Mixer Channel Overview
- The new Channel Overview provides a single, consolidated view of all channel parameters, including input controls, inserts, sends, and Cue Mix sends for the selected channel. This view is available as a new tab in the Channel Editor window, which can be pinned anywhere on any screen and follows the channel selection. Channel Overview is an ideal way to work on the sound of a single channel quickly and intuitively across multiple plug-ins without having to open a dedicated plug-in editor.
General Features
- Only Studio One's Chord Track lets you create, audition, and change chord progressions in both audio and MIDI. It has never been easier to prototype a Song so quickly and simply - and keep your creative spark alive.
Drum Editor
- Studio One features an innovative streamlined Drum View to edit drum parts as fast as you can think. Drum View lets you name pitches by instrument and, with one click, hide any pitch not used for drum notes, creating a much cleaner look for drum parts that’s easy on the eyes and much clearer for editing.
Drum Notation
- Create drum notation using Studio One’s Score View. The drum map interface lets you add both the drum and note name to a corresponding notated pitch. A special preview window lets you drag each intended pitch up or down. You can even add a custom notehead and drum technique.
Live Arranging
- Stay in the moment while performing with backing tracks using the Arranger Track on the Show Page. Experiment on the fly while you're on stage or streaming live with five playback modes available on a per-section basis: Continue, Stop at End, Skip, Loop, or Loop and Continue.
Multi Instruments
- A Multi Instrument is a stack of multiple Virtual Instruments on a single Instrument Track that can be played, recorded, and edited as a single Instrument. A Multi Instrument can be key-split or layered, and offers full control over keyboard and velocity zones—plus powerful Note FX routing options.
Notation Dynamics and Articulation Marks
- Composers can add dynamics and articulation marks to their scores using familiar notation symbols—virtual instruments will respond with the appropriate performance. Dynamics symbols are tied to MIDI velocity, with customizable values.
Note Controller Support
- Studio One supports note controllers that can affect individual notes rather than the entirety of a track. With compatible MIDI controllers, you can use polyphonic aftertouch and MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression)
Notion Integration
- Studio One’s Score View provides powerful notation features. But when it’s time to get serious, you need real notation software, and that’s where award-winning Notion comes in to help. Send note data right from Studio One to Notion to create lead sheets and printed scores.
- Studio One features advanced key-switch integration for your favorite orchestral libraries and other virtual instruments. Key switches are filtered and excluded from playback processing, so you can take advantage of Note FX and Chord Track while still using your favorite articulations.
Aux Channels
- Studio One lets you incorporate your favorite hardware synths into your digital productions as easily as virtual instruments thanks to Aux Channels. Aux Channels feed any external audio into the Studio One Mixer without having to create an Audio Track that clutters your session.
Channel Visibility Filters
- Improved—The Console Channel List provides a variety of visibility filters, so you can adapt the Console to the aspects of the Song relevant to your current work. Filter options include: Audio Channels, Instrument Channels, FX Channels, Bus Channels, VCAs, and Aux Channels.
Harmonic Editing
- Studio One’s groundbreaking Harmonic Editing lets you change pitch in both polyphonic audio and MIDI. When inspiration strikes, you won’t need to rerecord a bassline or guitar riff just to try a chord substitution — place your new chord in the Chord Track you’ll hear it applied instantly, in the in the context of your existing Song. Best of all, Harmonic Editing is non-destructive, so you’re free to play.
Note Actions
- Note-editing options are at the heart of MIDI editing in Studio One. The Note Actions menu offers fast intuitive editing and composition and includes creative note-editing options for Instrument Tracks, including Randomize, Apply Scale, Mirror, and more. All of these are assignable to keyboard shortcuts and included in macros.
Note Repeat
- Fully remote-controllable from any MIDI controller, Note Repeat has its own section in the Record Panel where you can activate/deactivate it, quickly switch between different note values, and activate/deactivate Note Erase. Set the gate time for notes and use key or poly pressure to control note velocity.
Patterns
- Get step sequencing fast with Studio One‘s Patterns. Patterns are perfect for step programming and changing variations on the fly. Even better, Patterns are playable, real-time sequencers. You can change every parameter on a per-step basis—including 10 levels of repeat for strummed effects, probability controls, and Automation Lanes. Once the Pattern is complete, click and drag its edge to extend the Pattern for as long as you want within a track.
Prerecord
- Mistakes happen. The opening notes of a singer’s first perfect performance of the day may get missed because the engineer forgot to hit Record, or maybe you just missed the punch-in. Those mistakes can be embarrassing but what happens in Studio One stays in Studio On
