PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [143/307] Folder track busing

If a Track is already in a Group prior to being placed in a Folder Track, and the Folder Track Group is engaged, the Track

is placed in the Folder Track Group when it is placed in the Folder Track. If removed from the Folder Track, a Track retains

its Group setting.

Folder Track Editing

When a Folder Track is collapsed, a single "Event” with lanes representing each Track in the Folder across the

arrangement is displayed. It is possible to directly edit this consolidated Event, including Size, Move, Cut, Copy, Paste, and

Duplicate. This ability saves time in cases where simple edits do not require viewing a particular Track in the Folder or even

grouping the Tracks within.

Folder Track Busing

Clicking on the Bus selection box to the right of the Group icon on a Folder Track allows the selection or creation of a Bus

Channel. Choose from an existing Bus Channel, or add a Bus, to switch the output for all Tracks contained in the Folder

Track to a Bus Channel. If adding a new Bus Channel, the Bus takes the name of the Folder Track.

If a bus selection is made, the Folder Track acts as an effects-drop target for the Bus Channel when dragging effects from

the browser onto the Folder Track.

As with Folder Track grouping, if the Folder Track has a Bus Channel selection, any Track added to the folder is routed to

that Bus when placed in the Folder Track. If removed from the Folder Track, a Track keeps the Bus as its Output Channel

selection.

For Instrument Tracks, the Track's related Audio Channel is routed to the Folder Track Bus Channel. The related Audio

Channel is the one shown in the Inspector under the Out and In selections for an Instrument Track. As noted elsewhere in

this manual, the Audio selection for an Instrument Track is purely organizational and allows Studio One to accomplish

workflow enhancements like the aforementioned. If a virtual instrument is using multiple Output Channels, you should take

the time to organize which Instrument Tracks routed to that virtual instrument are related to which Output Channels in the

Inspector.

Folder Track Nesting

When Folder Tracks are nested—that is, when one Folder Track is placed inside another—the Folder Track Grouping

and Busing options still only apply for the Tracks within each folder. Here is an example:
