Why did you leave Studio One?

Looks like I will be buying even though V6 did not excite me much.

If V6 doesn‘t excite you, then vote with your wallet. You are not forced to always stay up to date. To do justice to the thread title: I will be temporarily moving away from Studio One development. V5 works well and I hope for V7 in 2024 or 2025.

Does Studio One 6 fully support Akai mini mk3? v4 had problems with that. It couldn't properly assign akai knobs to VA synths.

Same here. I’ve skipped version six for now.

Have you seen what's in 6.1? It's almost as much again as was in 6. It's very hard not to see the value in upgrading now.

They just need to support Hermode Tuning, and revamp the way automation works now.
We need automation clip containers and the ability to change the destination track/plugin/parameter of existing automation data.

It should work the way MIDI data does.
Imagine if you had to cut and paste all of your MIDI data to a new track if you wanted to change the VST instrument that plays it. Now image that the MIDI notes just sat exposed in the arranger window, and got messed up every time you clicked on the MIDI track. That's how automation works in Studio One right now.

I'd actually really like it if the MIDI notes just sat in the Arranger Window. It would eliminate the need for a piano roll and make it just like my old Korg workstations. I like the way you can zoom in in Cubase and edit your MIDI in the Arranger, without having to go to the piano roll. The Piano Roll has always seemed like an unnecessary extra step in the process to me.

Whoosh for me if it's satire but, I wonder how are more colors and Lyrics improvements considered a good value.
Unless you are using video track heavily, this is a meh upgrade.

I expect a browser upgrade from them, I hope they do it soon.

That would be really nice indeed. Although I think the piano roll gets useful for certain functions like scale highlighting, quantization etc, and specially for people who work more with a mouse and a qwerty keyboard, rather than a midi controller, because we usually need to change the velocity of notes using a mouse, as they've been drawn in using the mouse, they're all the same velocity, so can sound a little too robotic at times. Velocity is just one example. Having all that available in the arranger window would make it a little too cluttered, I think. But yes, basic functionality or moving notes around directly in the arranger window would be nice. I also hoped that they'd have added midi data zoom (like they have for audio zoom) in version 6 & in 6.1 otherwise, but unfortunately, they did not, we got more colors instead

I do everything in the sequencer with a mouse. I don't see how it becomes any more difficult if that functionality is transferred to the main window.

Unless you are using video track heavily, this is a meh upgrade.

So what, it's f**king free, FFS. But if you add these features to what's in 6.0, upgrading from 5.x starts to look like much better value than it did.

I expect a browser upgrade from them, I hope they do it soon.

Looks like you're shit out of luck, then, doesn't it? If you can't understand why they spend their time adding new features, rather than working on things that are perfectly fine as they are, there is f**k-all hope for you, I'm afraid.
