Hope this isn't bait because this year has been underwhelming so far in terms of S1 updates.summer2000 wrote: Sat Sep 13, 2025 12:48 amAnd soon many of those Studio One whingers and whiners might be contemplating on migrating to Cubase Pro 15.

The fact that you are arguing with people that have obviously been using the software much longer than you is pretty funny. Studio One has been catering to the sample using crowd for at least the last couple versions. I don't use samples much, but anyone who has actually been using Studio One for awhile would know this.jamcat wrote: Fri Sep 12, 2025 10:56 pm It's just a matter of Studio One being designed for multi-track audio recording.

It's honestly pretty eventful to see this level of gatekeeping in the wild.

S1 has been always oriented to LINEAR sequencing and it has still issues and lack sequencing patterns and assigning controllers. One of the problems about this is the controller integration. They don't have published manual to create those control device files, they probably rely on a single person to create it and it's not an easy task.thievedletter wrote: Sat Sep 13, 2025 4:31 am Studio One has been catering to the sample using crowd for at least the last couple versions.

And without an open hardware integration, it's hard to compete with Ableton/Bitwig.
But it's a really stupid path from Presonus. Some of us asked them to publish the specs to format those XML and they never released a paper other than the plane user device creation which is a really limited way to access internals.
The way S1 automation works is more complex than Ableton/Bitwig. S1 has Global & Local modes, Local works as any Ableton controller, Global does it in a different way. (maybe Ableton has a Global Mode using scripts, bu I never found the way to do it... )

Ableton and Bitwig may be not the only competitors. Cubase‘s controller integration has been rebuilt from the ground up two major versions ago. And now it is really capable, programmable and documented! They even provide direct support for developers in their forums.wikter wrote: Sat Sep 13, 2025 5:48 am S1 has been always oriented to LINEAR sequencing and it has still issues and lack sequencing patterns and assigning controllers.

You completely misrepresented what I said. I didn’t say I didn’t know about it. I said using it on an input was recently brought to my attention.

I spent my Friday noodling around with the chord track. It's more intuitive than I thought and I had a lot of fun with it.
If they added chord inversions to the chord selector I'd be even happier

Thanks. I had a look and didn't find that option. I guess it's no bother to move notes manually in the piano roll

If you are willing to spend a few extra bucks on 3rd-party scripts and macros, then Harmony Wizard is worth a look:J Veronica wrote: Sun Sep 14, 2025 4:36 pmThanks. I had a look and didn't find that option. I guess it's no bother to move notes manually in the piano roll![]()

It also includes chord inversion. The link above points to the interactive manual.

Thanks.

Hopefully Presonus will natively expand the piano roll macro options in the future.
