PreSonus releases Studio One v4.6 with Ampire

11th December 2019 - KVR Audio News

PreSonus has updated Studio One 4.6 with a new version of the Ampire State Space Modeling amplifier and effects plug-in. Studio One 4.6 also introduces version 2.0 of its Exchange online content-sharing space for Studio One.

Studio One 4.6 features a redesigned Browser with new view options for even more intuitive navigation, including a new PreSonus Shop tab, allowing a user to explore new content with a single mouse click. In addition to the classic List view, the Browser now has a new Gallery view, enabling the user to navigate their plug-ins, SoundCloud, Exchange, and Shop content in a more visual way.

The Ampire plug-in features all-new State Space models of five classic amplifiers plus five coveted stompboxes. A tuner and five new Impulse Response cabinet models have also been added. Ampire is included in the Studio One 4 Professional version 4.6 update and is available as an add-on for Studio One Artist and Prime users for $59.95. The 13 pedal effects are also included in the new Pedalboard plug-in, which is free for Studio One 4 Professional users.

Improved Studio One arranging and pattern editing features include the ability to convert Instrument Parts to Patterns, great for building variations from existing drum grooves. Individual note lengths in Patterns can now be more than one step, which allows for more versatile bass lines and sequences. Even better, this new feature works in both Melodic and Drum Pattern modes. Real-time recording into Patterns has also been improved.

Exchange 2.0 features a new landing page where users can browse, download, review, and preview Exchange drum maps, effects chains, audio loops, musicloops, and presets. In users' MyPreSonus account, a new user interface makes it easier to browse, download, review, upload, and "favorite" Exchange assets. Users also now have a public landing page listing their Exchange contributions.
