New in Studio One Artist and Studio One Professional, Impact XT adds more than 20 new features, transforming the Impact drum module into a complete production environment for beats and loops. The powerful Macro system now offers added flexibility. Note event editing options also have been updated and extended. A streamlined Drum Editor enables enhanced control over note events. Patterns can live side-by-side with conventional Instrument Parts on the same track. Studio One 4’s Musical Editor adds deeper editing features, speeds up the editing workflow, and simplifies recurring tasks. The step sequencer has been updated: Studio One Patterns, found in all editions of Studio One 4, integrate with Instrument Parts and automation, offering many more expressive possibilities than typical step sequencers. Built-in chord detection extracts chords from audio or instrument tracks. A Chord Selector makes it easy to experiment with new chord patterns and ideas. The Chord Track goes beyond a simple chord track for note data, working with instrument tracks and audio tracks for “fast, multi-dimensional arranging and transposition”.

Studio One v4 Professional’s new Harmonic Editing features enable experimentation with harmonies, transpositions, and chord progressions. The DAW favoured by Pro Tools-refugees has received a major update.
