Question

Hello my friends:
I am currently using another DAW but very interested in Studio One:

Can you please answer the following questions for me?

1. I have a lot of Hardware Synth.
   How will these integrate with Studio One? For example: How can I control a Synth from within Studio One?
   Are there things Instrument Definitions? I attempted to google this but no definitive answers.
    
2. Most importantly, I have invested in Mackie MCU.
   Does this work with Studio One, what I meat is, will I be able to use this and all of it's features?

Thank you!

Greetings,

1. Yes ,you can integrate your synths in. Of course you will need proper MIDI interfaces to have enough MIDI ports for the connections.

2. Here is a PDF about Studio One Mackie Control Support: https://pae-web.presonusmusic.com/downloads/products/pdf/Studio_One_Mackie_Control_Support.pdf
