De-esser (New)

• Tame vocal sibilance and other high-frequency sounds with the new De-esser. The De-esser in Studio One is efficient and intuitive to use. Find the problematic frequency with the Listen button, then dial in the amount of S-Reduction using the associated knob together with the S-Mon function.

ProEQ3 (Improved)

• The latest incarnation of ProEQ delivers two new powerful features, making it an indispensable tool for producers and mixing engineers. Each frequency band can now be soloed, so you can easily hear even the most surgical adjustments in isolation. In addition to solo, each band now features a dynamic mode to trigger boosts or cuts of the desired frequency band dynamically based on a set amplitude threshold.

Autofilter (Improved)

• The popular Autofilter plug-in has been updated to offer several useful enhancements including independent Attack and Release controls for the envelope, and a Flip option to invert the modulation phase in the LFO section.

Note Controller support for Mai Tai, Sample One XT, and Presence XT

• Mai Tai, Sample One XT, and Presence XT now offer support for compatible controllers to modulate individual notes in a chord independently using Poly Pressure (polyphonic aftertouch) or MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). In Mai Tai and Presence XT, pitch, pressure, and timbre are available as modulation sources inside the modulation matrix, allowing these to be routed to any available destination. In Sample One XT, the pressure parameter is connected to the AMP and Filter. The amount can be controlled with a knob.

Virtual Instrument Side-Chain Support

• Virtual instruments (VST2, VST3, AU) like samplers and vocoders that require an external audio source now have access to any audio source within the mixer using a side-chain input. Similar to FX plug-ins with a side-chain input, the side-chain signal can be routed conveniently either from the source or destination. Aux channels may be used to route external audio signals to a virtual instrument using a side-chain.

Alternative Panning Modes

• Stereo channels now feature a choice of pan modes. You can choose between balance, dual, or binaural panning for any stereo channel. The new panner pop-up editor provides a large pan control, a context menu to switch between modes, plus dedicated controls for each mode. The basic balance control remains available in all mixer views, as well as a standard pan control for external hardware controllers.

Browser Favorites and Folders

• Studio One’s innovative Browser gets even better in version 6. Organize plug-in and instrument presets into custom folders that you can create right inside the Browser. Presets for plug-ins and virtual instruments can now be marked as Favorites. Presets marked as Favorites are automatically mirrored inside a new Favorites folder at the top of the respective preset list.

Start Page

• Studio One’s Start Page is now even more flexible. Organize your Songs, Projects, and Shows into custom folders allowing you to put all the files associated with a single artist or production in one convenient location. Pin favorites documents and view all your shared PreSonus Sphere documents in a single folder. Producers and mixing engineers working with multiple artists can now manage and create a unique Artist Profile preset for each client. Each profile includes name, genre, website, and an image—all of which are embedded as ID3 tags when exporting a mixdown for streaming or digital download.

Other Notable Additions

• Sends on FX Channels, allowing the output signal of one effect to be sent to another.
• Side-chain audio input for virtual instruments
• Bus, FX, and Cue Mix sends now have the option to link panning to the channel pan control. Cue Mix sends provide independent link options for Volume and Pan.
• Micro view controls for third-party plug-ins
• Track and Channel Icons
• Spot option for Events offers a number of options for positioning vvents on the timeline based on event attributes such as start/end points or their original timecode position.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. This came with the JBL LSR310s kit I just purchased. I was wondering if I can connect the Left and Right speakers to one channel, while connecting the subwoofer to another channel, then control the subwoofer on/off independently of the main speakers or have all 3 on at the same time?

A: The Monitor Station allows you to program the unit to output in several ways. Speaker selection can be in All On mode (speaker A, B and C can be engaged simultaneously), Toggle mode (speaker A, B, and C can only be selected one at a time), or Subwoofer mode (A and B are selectable, and C can be selected with A or B).

Q: 3. How many synths can I control over bluetooth midi at the same time?

With the WIDIFLEX USB Dongle, you can set up WIDI groups of up to five Bluetooth MIDI devices with one central WIDI device and up to four peripherals over 16 MIDI channels.
