A readup on multi instruments in StudioOne can be done here

Really cool in itself.
I'm just fond of the freedom it means to be daw independent. I can load a Patchwork preset in Cubase, Reaper, Sonar or StudioOne - have the same thing without relearning anything.
Since it is loading stuff from disk, I assume PC and Mac is a boundary without redoing the presets. Or over to AAX Protools. It can even used as a VST wrapper into ProTools.

^^^ in the racks of MUX the MIDI routing is solved automatically even the racks can be routed together furthermore can be frontplate created, automation assignment is drag and drop based and can be modulated so ...

audio to MIDI slicing can be solved it Slice-x I have the license somewhere... am happy with it
ps. seems the note chopper etc. Kirnu-Cream also a needed in S1, as I see the arp,repeater etc. note-fx things can't take different length parts of the input notes for ex. double the 7/8 and triple the rest 1/8 part of it (as in the video)

Not directly related, but as there's some experts following this thread, maybe someone has an educated opinion on this matter? https://answers.presonus.com/39195/stud ... udio-input

In addition the Multi-Instruments can make the knobs and faders of VST's multi-touch. It also has multi-touch X-Y pads. For me multi-touch is an important feature. I believe I am talking myself into choosing Studio One as my main DAW.lfm wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 8:27 am A readup on multi instruments in StudioOne can be done here

On the other hand I do use Bidule for it's flexibility and feature set. I would like to see a Bidule VS Mux VS Patchwork thread.

TBH, im happy that Studio One doesn't have something like MUX. MUX is a complicated beast, while Studio One has a simplicity approach like like only few other DAW's. It just wouldn't fit the concept.

^^^ yepp I also would be happier if Bitwig would get proper piano roll, viewtopic.php?f=259&t=499400&hilit=poll 'hacking' MUX into S1 to transform it to Bitwig is some kind workaround/I also not like to have to create a Frankenstein DAW ... not wanted to hijack the topic btw, sry

The Midi Logical Editor in your screen shot is not part of Studio One X, it's actually my script, as is the Track Tools in your screen shot. That Logical Editor script is no longer necessary as S1 has those kinds of midi filters built in now. That track tools script is also dated, I have a much better custom toolbar for that and lots of other things. Not really sharing, made it for myself: https://prnt.sc/mypq3d

Studio One 4 wipes the floor as an overall program for music production/songwriting/mixing/mastering. No comparisons!

^^^ Reaktor also can't be side-chained just try it, >>> https://forums.presonus.com/viewtopic.p ... bd3200cf93 so it's an S1 issue, another plus beside Reaper

Reapers plugin pin matrix is arguably more powerful then the faux modular stuff S1 is trying to steal from Tracktion Racks set up, and also there's nothing like Reapers free item positioning. The fact you can put midi, a mono vocal, and a stereo audio file all on the same track and play is crazy. You can also do clip effects in one key stroke in Reaper. You can drag in 5 different virtual instruments in a row on the same chain and have them all play or use the plugin matrix to get weird.
You can use Reatune to sing into you're mic to trigger a vsti instrument to record midi live. I love how Reapers plugin wrapper has a built in dry wet knob.
The subfolder function of Reaper is criminally underrated as is the screenshot function. Like talk about workflow.
Also in terms of Midi Reaper got a great snap to scale function which is great for moving midi around, it also has a plethora of options when importing multi channel midi files. Also another overlooked function is Reaper has the ghost notes function which everybody loves from FL Studio. Like it's nobody's fault all these features are right in front of peoples face and aren't noticed, they'd rather have Justin spen money on advertising so the DAW then cost $400 instead smh. Oh and Reaper is Surround Sound 5 channel out the box and with every update it's video editing get's even better which is great for podcasters. Heck you can even edit audio while you're still recording it for podcast.

All these things great on the paper. But in fact Studio One is more usable.SoundPorn wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 6:05 pm Reapers plugin pin matrix is arguably more powerful then the faux modular stuff S1 is trying to steal from Tracktion Racks set up, and also there's nothing like Reapers free item positioning.

If you like programming, like to make million custom actions - go to Reaper, if you like to make music - go to Studio One.

^^^
If you like to make 5, 10 or 50 custom actions to help workflow go to Reaper, and then make life easier to make music.
The multi-touch and ARA of S1 has me almost convinced this is the way to go.

I've also played more with the different options in Reaper than creating music ( so if you like the tweaking then Reaper is worst DAW for you ... it will be never ending tweaking ) and with Studio One X custom actions also can be created, so the slogan ‘Less is more’ is particularly applicable in this case at least for meKalamata Kid wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 8:04 pm ^^^
