Presonus Studio One 7.1 - Released!

[dellboy]

Meanwhile,I have just made the mistake of making a song in the version 7 demo, only to find out that it will not open in version 6.

Can’t try it right now, but iirc the https://s1toolbox.com/ allows a conversion back to v6.

Thanks for the link!

I tried to load up the version 7 demo this morning and the demo has expired,and I had made a number of short songs in that version that will not load in version 6. I can confirm that the browser app works great and converted successfully.

Now that the version seven demo has finished, the only thing I will actually miss from it is the ability to drag out and repeat clips using the mouse instead of pressing "T". Hardly something worth upgrading for. So I will stick with six.

Hello - my friend bought S1 Pro 7.1.1 (Windows) and he cannot make Arturia Pigments (latest version - vst3) to work - he can see it in the browser, he drag and drops it but nothing happens / opens. He says other Arturia synths work perfectly normal. He also checked via software center for latest update or fix, nothing. So, any way to make Pigments work? Thank you.

EDIT: I have latest v6 of S1 Pro and have no such issues with Pigments.

First thing I would suggest - is to go to View->Plug-In Manager and in the lower right - click Remove Plug-In Settings. S1 will prompt to restart - let it do so.

This will rescan everything and ensure all plugs are good to go. Try Pigments again and let us know how it goes. I am using Pigments v6 daily over here and it is rock solid in v7.1.1

Hello, was just an a call with friend - we followed this instruction, but, no luck. Pigments is scanned, visibile in browser - but it simply doesnt load when drag and dropping it. He tried Analog lab and it works. Thx anyway. Any other solutions?

Is he dropping it on an instrument track?

Screencaps would help as well.

Yes - he drops in on clean project / track - like he said; Analog lab works, Diva works, Zebra works, Kontakt works - only Pigments is not working. I told him to contact both Presonus and Arturia support.

Has he tried starting it in standalone - before using it as a VST3?

Yes, it works. Works in his Cubase 14 Pro as well.

Hmm. You say - nothing happens when you drop it on a track. But I have seen the occasional issue reported when you do drag an instrument to a track and the UI does not automatically open.

But that does not necessarily mean the instrument is in a problem state. It will open if you press the little "keyboard" icon on the right side of the instrument track panel.

Any chance to try that? And let us know what comes up?

And - is there any chance that the actual Pigments UI is actually coming up but is way off screen or in a spot that is not obvious?

It doesnt show up - I tried today at my friends studio. When drag and dropping the instrument on the track, it doesnt load up on the left side, the place where you usually see the instrument name and little keyboard icon. It simply doesnt want to load, its scanned, vst3 visible - the icon - I've also tried dragging Analog lab, it works, dragging Pigments - it doesnt. Then we loaded up Cubase, it works perfectly fine. Confusing situation.

S1 has issues with some soft synths due to their implementation of the VST3 spec. VST3 versions of Reaktor and Maschine from NI still don't work properly in S1, and haven't since v6 was released. I know there are more, but can't remember which ones since it's been a while. VST3 versions of Reaktor and Maschine still load and are fully functional in all other DAWs. This may or may not be your issue.

What happens when you actually click on that little keyboard icon?

Well Pigments (VST3) works great here - no issues since it was first installed. There is something strange with this install and it's not obvious - yet.

Presonus has updated their S1 VST sDK several times in the last 18 months - a big one was part of the v7 rollout.

NI - on the other hand - is so far behind with Reaktor (March 2023) (and I cannot speak to Maschine 3 as I do not have it installed) - it is not surprising to see the world to pass that one by.

There is no keyboard icon - nothing loads. Its like dragging and dropping empty vst (pigments) icon to the track.
