Studio One Pro 7 – One DAW for them all
Your all-in-one production hub with everything
you need to record, produce, mix, master, and perform.
The all-new, fully integrated Launcher introduces a completely new way to record,
arrange, and create music in Studio One Pro 7. As part of Arrangement and working side-by-side with Timeline,
Launcher offers a completely new set of workflows, allowing users to move freely between these two environments.

, and follow steps 3,4,5 from "Installation|Activation"
- The Launcher is based on Cells , which contain either audio events/parts or instrument parts,
depending on which track they are on. Just like events and parts on the timeline,
Cells only contain references to actual audio clips (shown in the pool). - Cells are organized into Scenes , which are vertical stacks of cells.
They play simultaneously when a 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 can be a complete song.

Launcher Key Features - Create new arrangements on the fly using a grid of loops and patterns
that can be triggered and edited on the fly. - Record audio or MIDI directly into Cells
- Edit Cell contents using all available editing tools.
- Combine Cells into Scenes to create Patterns or entire song sections.
- Create any number of playlists from Scenes.
- Record your entire live Launcher performance to the timeline in real time.
- Offline rendering/converting of playlists to the timeline.
- Easily drag and drop elements between the timeline and Launcher elements
(Cells, Scenes, Arranger sections). - Hands-on control directly from an ATOM or ATOM SQ controller
or Studio One Remote (update required). - Native support for Novation Launchpad mini [MK3], Launchpad X, and Launchpad Pro [MK3].
Scenes and Playlists:
Part of the Launcher—and unique to Studio One Pro 7—is the ability to organize scenes into playlists.
Like the Arranger Track on the timeline, playlists are a quick and easy way to create,
edit, and test arrangements, and they can also be used for live performance.
The Scene
Playlist Inspector is conveniently located between the Launcher and Browser.
Creating playlists is as easy as dragging and dropping scenes in any order and setting the number of repeats.
Live Performance with Scenes
Scenes can be looped indefinitely until
a command to continue is sent, which is great for live performances.
The Loop Tool for Events and
Pattern Parts is now available for any Event or Part type.
As an alternative to duplicating events, the Loop Tool
saves time for intuitive arrangement 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 until the end of the Song marker
or until the next Event or Part on the same track, filling the empty space.
Global transposition
Easily play sessions in different keys.
Often, a session needs to be played in a different key, either temporarily
to help the artist record their part, or permanently for creative reasons.
In both cases, the new Global Transpose feature, 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 tracks and instrument tracks can be transposed
in real time, simply by checking which tracks should follow the transposition
and then entering a (relative) transposition value in the transport panel.
AI-powered stem separation
One of the most requested features, stem splitting, is now available directly in the timeline.
Studio One Pro 7’s AI-powered stem splitting algorithm splits a mixed audio event
into drums, bass, chords, and vocals and adds these elements to new tracks within a folder track.
As an additional option, split audio events can be merged back into a single file.
This allows for quick and easy creation of instrumental versions (without vocals) or drum-less versions.
Stem splitting technology is still in its infancy, so further performance/quality improvements and feature additions
are planned in the near future .
Advanced tempo detection
New Level Detection Technology
To get the most out of Studio One’s built-in tempo mapping and stretching tools,
knowing the original tempo of a file is crucial, especially when importing audio files from different sources.
Studio One Pro 7 now features next-level tempo detection technologies powered by deep neural networks
and advanced statistical models.
Tempo detection works for both short loops with a fixed tempo
and long free-form recordings with variable tempo. Furthermore,
the audio event’s sync point is automatically set to the first downbeat.
Simply right-click any audio event with an unknown tempo
and select “Audio/Detect Tempo.” Then, look for 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 a variable tempo.
Impact integration in the note editor
Editing a virtual drum instrument like Impact
while simultaneously editing patterns can be tedious, especially on a small laptop screen.
The new built-in editor for Impact provides full access to all instrument parameters
(pads, pad editor controls, and sample editor controls) without having to open the Impact editing window.
The editor is accessible within the Pattern and Note Editor windows and is located next to the pattern and note editing controls.
Additional mixing and editing improvements
The zoom toolbar in
Studio One Pro 7’s note editor offers several new features and improvements for editing note events
in scale/key scale. These have been consolidated into a single panel conveniently located in the note editor toolbar.
Scale Editor for Custom Scales:
The Scale feature in the note editor now supports custom scales,
which consist of a scale keyboard for editing and a dedicated preset manager.
Custom scales are displayed within the scale menu, below the preset scales.
Filtering Notes by Scale:
Editing note events in a scale is now faster and easier than ever
thanks to the new “In Scale” visibility filter option. When activated, pitches outside the currently selected scale are hidden,
allowing you to add, move, or copy note events only within the scale.
A new “Loop”
option has been added to the Event/Part context menu. Enabling this option loops
the Event or Part until the end of the Song marker or until the next Event or Part on the same track, filling the empty space.
Pitch Resolution and Step Count in Melodic Patterns
Another highly requested feature, patterns in Melodic mode now offer
pitch resolution and step count, previously only available in Drum mode.
Note Editor – Note Selection Improvements:
When selecting note events in the Note Editor (Piano and Drum views) using the
Arrow tool, snapping is disabled for more precise selection. Additionally, selected note events
are highlighted immediately upon clicking (instead of upon releasing the mouse)
Integration with Splice
Studio One Pro 7 is now the only DAW with Splice integrated directly into the browser,
allowing users to easily access Splice’s extensive sample library
without the need for a separate application.
Browse and search the entire Splice catalog, listen to loops in the correct tempo and key for your song,
and drag and drop loops or samples directly into the Arrangement, Launcher, Impact, and Sample One tools.
In-app sample detection tool
Users can also use the all-new Splice Search with Sound tool to find
matching loops and sounds for an existing session by selecting one or more events/parts
and dragging them into the Search with Sound search area on the Splice tab.
The mix is created and uploaded automatically, prompting the Audio Search tool to find content that
matches the style and tone of the source audio.
Thousands of Premium Samples Included
Studio One Pro 7 users can create a free Splice account to access
a premium library of over 2,500 hand-curated loops and samples,
with more added regularly for all Pro 7 users.
Add Access to Millions of Splice Samples
To get the most out of the Splice integration, Studio One Pro 7 users
new to Splice can subscribe to a plan starting
at $12.99/month to gain access to millions of samples in Splice’s extensive library.
Splice 7-Day Free Trial
Splice has also partnered with PreSonus to provide
Studio One Pro 7 users with free 7-day trials to fully
test the new DAW integration.
