NEW! Features include:

Integrated Launcher
The brand-new, fully-integrated Launcher introduces an entirely new way to record, arrange and produce music in Studio One Pro 7. As a part of the Arrangement and side-by-side with the Timeline, the Launcher offers an all-new set of workflows, allowing users to move freely between these two environments.

• The Launcher is based on Cells, which hold either Audio Events/Parts or Instrument Parts, depending on which track they’re on. Just like Events and Parts on the timeline, Cells only contain references to the actual Audio Clips (shown in the Pool).
• Cells are organized into Scenes, which represent vertical stacks of Cells. These play simultaneously when the Scene is played.
• Scenes can be organized into Playlists, which contain any number of Scenes in any order. If Scenes represent sections of a song, a Playlist could be a complete song.

NEW Looping Features:

• Loop Tools for Events and Parts: The Loop Tool for Pattern Parts is now available for any type of Event or Part. As an alternative to duplicating events, the Loop Tool is a timesaver for intuitive arranging and production.
• Event Loop Option: A new Loop option has been added to the Event/Part context menu. Enabling this option loops the Event or Part to the Song end marker, or to the next Event or Part on the same track, filling empty space.

Global Transpose:

• Easily Play Sessions in a Different Key: Often, a session needs to be played in a different key, either temporarily to help the artist recording his/her part, or permanently for creative reasons. In both cases, the new Global Transpose feature, which is part of the Transport Bar, provides a stunningly simple solution.
• Real-time Transposition: Thanks to the exceptional quality of the élastique Pro pitch-shifting algorithms used in Studio One Pro 7, both Audio and Instrument Tracks can be transposed in real time, simply by checking which tracks should follow transpose and then entering a (relative) transpose value in the Transport bar.

AI-Powered Stem Seperation
One of the most highly-requested features, stem separation is now available directly on the Timeline. Powered by AI, the stem separation algorithm in Studio One Pro 7 separates a mixed Audio Event into Drums, Bass, Chords and Vocals and adds these elements to new tracks inside a Folder Track.

As an extra option, the separated Audio Events may be bounced again into a single file. This allows for quick and easy creation of instrumentals (minus vocal) or no-drums versions.

Stem Separation as a technology is still in its infancy, so further performance/quality improvements and feature additions are planned in the near future.

Next-Level Detection Technology
To get the most out of Studio One’s built-in tempo-mapping and time-stretching tools, it’s crucial to know what the original file tempo is, particularly when importing audio files from different sources.

Studio One Pro 7 now features next-level tempo detection technologies based on deep neural networks and state of the art statistical models.

Tempo detection works for both short loops with a fixed tempo, as well as long free-form recordings with variable tempo. In addition, the sync point of an Audio Event is set to the first downbeat automatically.

Simply right-click on any Audio Event with unknown tempo and select “Audio/Detect Tempo”. Then locate the File Tempo field in the Event Inspector to read the fixed tempo value if the source file has a fixed tempo, or “Map” if the audio has variable tempo.

More Mixing & Editing Enhancements

• Tool bar for scale tools in Note Editor: Studio One Pro 7 provides several new features and enhancements for editing note events in-scale/key. These have been consolidated into a single panel, conveniently located in the Note Editor tool bar.
• Scale Editor for User Scales: The Scale feature inside the Note Editor now supports custom user scales, which consists of a scale keyboard for editing and a dedicated preset manager. User scales are shown inside the scale menu, below the preset scales.
• Filter Notes to Scale Option: Editing note events in scale is now faster and easier than ever with the new "In Scale" visibility filter option. When activated, pitches outside the currently selected scale are hidden, allowing note events to be added, shifted, or copied exclusively within the scale.
• "Hide Unused Pitches" Option in Piano View: A new Loop option has been added to the Event/Part context menu. Enabling this option loops the Event or Part to the Song end marker, or to the next Event or Part on the same track, filling empty space.
• Per-Pitch Resolution & Step Count in Melodic Patterns: Another highly requested feature, Patterns in Melodic mode now offer per-pitch resolution and step count, previously available only in Drum Mode.
• Note Editor – Note Selection Improvements: When selecting Note Events inside the Note Editor (Piano and Drum views) using the Arrow tool, snapping is disabled to allow for more precise selection. Also, selected Note Events are highlighted immediately when touched (instead of at mouse-release).

New Virtual Instrument — Deep Flight One
Experience evolving soundscapes, atmospheric textures, and cutting-edge presets perfectly suited for ambient exploration.

• Sculpt New Sonic Dimensions: A popular sound set prized for its soundscapes, drones, pads, percussive and lead sounds is now available as a standalone instrument in Studio One Pro 7, offering three layers, integrated effects, and all-new presets.

  And with its easy-to-use global edit controls and convenient layer swapping features, Deep Flight One doesn’t require deep synthesis knowledge to create new sounds. You can find the new Deep Flight One instrument in the Studio One Pro 7 Browser's Instrument tab.

CV Instrument, Lead Architect, Presence XT Editor & More

• New CV Instrument: Hybrid studio users with vintage or modern analog hardware or modular synthesizers are now able to control their instruments directly from Studio One Pro 7.

  When combined with a compatible, multi-out audio interface, the CV Instrument can translate note trigger and pitch information from Instrument Tracks to analog triggers and control voltages, which are sent from the assigned interface outputs directly to the synthesizer’s control voltage inputs.

  The output signal from the external instrument can be monitored directly from the Studio One Pro 7 mixer. The CV Instrument even provides a calibration option to tune the connected oscillator and eliminate pitch drift.

• CLAP Plug-in & Instrument Support: CLAP (CLever Audio Plug-in) is an open-source audio plug-in format designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency for developers and users. This new, open-source format—already supported by developers such as Fab Filter, U-he and Plogue—is now available in Studio One Pro 7 for all platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux).

  CLAP plug-ins and instruments are presented inside the Studio One Pro Browser side-by-side with any other installed formats. The Plug-in Manager can be used to filter duplicate plug-ins as before.

  Since CLAP is a new and evolving format, additional features and options will become available with future Studio One Pro releases.

• Improved Auto-Gain Option for Plug-ins: Several Studio One plug-ins now include an improved Auto Gain (Automatic Gain Compensation) option, which ensures better results. This relates to how gain changes are determined, which varies between different plug-ins.

  The updated Auto Gain option is available in the Bitcrusher, Channel Strip, Compressor, and ProEQ plug-ins. Importantly, these changes do not affect existing sessions or presets; they only take effect when Auto mode is newly enabled.

• Lead Architect Now Included:
  
  Lead Architect is now included with all Studio One Pro 7 perpetual licenses. This virtual instrument combines post-processed synthesis and sampling, integrated audio and effects, and an intuitive new user interface to generate powerful leads and sizzling solo sounds for hybrid melodic sequencing.
• Audio Batch Converter Now Included:
  
  The powerful Audio Batch Converter, previously available only as an add-on, is now included with Studio One Pro 7 at no extra cost. This tool handles automated file format conversion, audio repair, volume adjustments, and even plug-in processing for multiple files simultaneously. Audio files can be sent directly to the Audio Batch Converter from the Browser.
• Presence XT Editor & All Presence XT Add-on Sound Libraries Now Included:
  
  Presence XT Editor is now included in Studio One Pro 7 unlocking powerful sample editing, mapping and even scripting functionality to Presence, effectively turning the sample player into a powerful sound design workstation.

  In addition, all Presence XT Add-On Sound Libraries including the Deep Flight One sound set, the XT Core Library, Studio Grand, and PreSonus Symphonic Orchestra are now also included. Samples may be imported into Presence directly, or by opening one of many supported third-party sampler formats.
