Question

I really like the Sound Variation feature in Studio One when composing. But it would be even better if it was possible to set a "negative delay" to each of the articulations.

For example when using slow legato in Cinematic Studio Strings there are a 300 ms delay, and with other ariculations the delay could be like 60 ms. If the Sound Variation feature could include a negative delay per articulation, the composing process would be so much easier, faster and enjoyable - without all those editing of individual notes.

Not at least, this will allow for placing the midi-notes where they "should" be. Today I have to place them so much before the time that it's not possible to get right notations i Notion.

Answer 2

Yes please. This would be a game changer

Answer 3

I support that. This feature would be very helpful.

Answer 4

This is feature is essential, for most orchestral instruments different articulations require different micro timing offsets to align properly time wise. We need to be able to enter negative delay times (microseconds) per articulation. Without it StudioOne is unusable for professional scoring. Implement it and I will leave my current DAW.

Answer 5

Yes, yes, yes, please !!! I know these terms are overused, but this indeed would be next level and a game changer. There exist two philosophies for the work with orchestral sample libraries. One track per instrument vs one track per articulation. The first is a nightmare, because you have to tweak each articulation separately. The ladder is an even bigger nightmare for me, because your track count easily increases to 300/400 tracks. Which by the way is not the strength of S1 too. So having the chance of different individual delays for each sound variation would solve all this, bring the best of both worlds and would give S1 the pole position for orchestral vst production !!

Answer 6

This would be an excellent feature and applicable to most, if not all, libraries I use.

Answer 7

This is a very important and needed feature. The "one articulation per track" approach is a nightmare to manage when orchestral libraries offer 10+ articulations per instrument. Plus the added verticality and at times phrases being dispersed over multiple tracks on a per note basis (e.g. when working with an incredulous amount of shorts Berlin/VSL offer). It gets hectic. It requires a lot of preparation. And certainly it requires much more micromanaging than it should need.

Answer 8

Great explanation of this feature request by Rich Cresswell:

Answer 9

+1 I would love this to be added to the sound variations.

This could be something like this:

- allow a delay section in the output sections of the sound variations editor which is altering the value for the track delay in the inspector (in regards to which sound variation is active at a given moment). So the value of the inspector would be just a reference.

or better to include a row in the main window of the Sound Variations Editor where one can enter specific values for each articulation separately (or define it with a mouse action: drag left/right, or up/down).

Answer 10

Might it be possible to script such a feature (expansion for the sound variations editor)?

Has Presonus already put out a manual for scripting?

Comments

No and no.

Features that directly affect playback can't be added via scripting.

Answer 11

+10000. My nr. 1 feature request for S1.

Answer 12

A BIG YES for this feature please! Studio one has been shaping up to be my number one preferred DAW with all the improvements over the past few versions. I would love to see this feature implemented in an update.

Answer 13

+100000000

This would make me so happy,

one step at a time, but it would be great to be able to analyze phrases as well and set rules per sound variation.

like CSS (cinematic studio strings) has a legato patch where the first note is delayed like 120ms and each legato note after that depending on the velocity could be up to 333ms. With patches that have different legato speeds, this makes it impossible to just completley quantize a melody and have it on grid while it being in time.

The solution for Kontakt instruments is there is a multiscript that can delay per channel, but then you can't monitor the instrument live because everything has to be delayed by -333ms no matter what.

THIS WOULD BE A GAMECHANGER

Answer 14

This needed in every DAW. Please Studio One do it!
