If that's what it is, then I take everything back, of course. And will add a note to myself that I won't chime in with the speculations next times...

I believe a clip launch feature would be a part of a major release like Studio One 6, if they are planning to do it at all that is. This looks more like some added feature for arranger track which already is the best around unlike Logic's which is in an induced coma state.

Funny thing is you barely ever see anyone use the session like view in Logic or in Ableton. So I don't expect anyone other than the (producers, electronic users) to showcase the clip launch (if that's what's added) in studio one.

Maybe. But I heard rumors that a full clip launcher was supposed to launch along side the Show page in 5.0 but the clip part had to be held back. Given that, I could see it being a 5.2 feature - especially giving the tease they’re doing here.

A clip launcher in S1 would be very interesting indeed. S1 already has what I consider the best DAW implementation of Pattern step-sequencing and arranging. They did a fantastic job with that. If their approach to Clips is as good, S1 would be a very serious all-rounder...

I’ve got some leaks.

“ New in Studio One 5.2, the Arranger Track lets you try arrangements on the fly before committing to a new playback order. The updated Arranger Track Inspector lets you quickly jump to different sections of your song from a quick view list. Simply double-click an Arranger Section while another section is playing and Studio One will seamlessly transition from one section to another—without skipping a beat! Also new to 5.2: you get even more robust live arrangement functionality with Arranger Tracks in the Show Page, in both Setlist view and Performance view! ”

“New in Studio One 5.2, Chord Track information can now be transferred from your Song to your Show so you’ll never miss the next chord again!”

“ New in Studio One 5.2, each setlist item can now be equipped with its own Arranger Track, letting you assign different Patches to the same Player for different sections of your song or turn your song into a dynamic and interactive loop performance!”

[eclipxe]

“Studio One 5.2 adds the Arranger Track to the Show Page, letting you experiment on the fly while you're on stage or live streaming from your studio. For each Arranger section in every Setlist song have a choice of five playback modes: Continue, Stop at End, Skip, Loop, or Loop and Continue; the last of which lets you repeat any section for a specific number of times before playback continues to the next Arranger Section. ”

“ Use the new Patches View in Studio One 5.2 to see all the Patches for a given Player on an easy-to-read grid to quickly recall Patches for your virtual or real instruments, effectively turning Studio One into a powerful master (keyboard) controller. Or open the new Arranger View to see a grid of all available Arranger sections. Set each section to loop and Studio One turns into a powerful loop launcher!”

Sounds like the teaser image we saw was the new “Arranger View” which sounds an awful lot like a clip launcher.

“ Editing note events in the Piano View is faster and easier than ever in Studio One 5.2. When editing Note events inside the Piano View, the Arrow Tool turns into a real “Smart Tool” at higher zoom levels—without ever having to switch tools!

In addition to selecting, moving and resizing note events using the Arrow Tool, the following additional functions can now be changed all with the same useful tool:

Note velocity
Mute/unmute event
Split note event
Split note event and part
Glue adjacent notes”

Depends what the actual workflow is like. If you have to first 'normally' record into the standard arrangement page, then create Arranger zones on all the different sections you already recorded, and then those sections appear in the new Arranger View for launching...well, that's not exactly the workflow of Ableton Live, now is it

To be like Ableton / Bitwig it would have to allow direct recording into the "Arranger View" and I kinda doubt they are that committed to getting into that kind of workflow. But we'll see, I guess.

“ New in Studio One 5.2, you can now use Studio One Remote 1.6 on your favorite mobile devices as a master controller for your live performance! Take the Performance View with you on stage to take charge of your Show. Best of all, multiple devices can connect to the same computer running Studio One so each player can control their own patches right from their mobile device”

[eclipxe]

“ Live arranging is available both from the Arranger Track timeline and the Arranger Track Inspector. When combined with loop playback mode and “Loop follows selection” enabled, you have the ultimate remix experimentation environment. Best of all, Arranger Sections can even be controlled from any hardware controller or Studio One Remote.”
