PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [258/307] Sampleone

Built-in Virtual Instruments

Studio One has five built-in virtual instruments: SampleOne, Impact, Presence XT, Mai Tai, and Mojito. These instruments

provide a solid foundation for music production in any style. The following sections describe each instrument in detail.

SampleOne

A sample player is closely related to a synthesizer. However, instead of generating sounds, a sample player starts with an

audio clip, or “sample,” and then plays that sample based on how the instrument is configured.

SampleOne is a basic sample player with adjustable keymap range and loop capabilities, pitch, amplifier, filter envelopes,

and LFO-modulation parameters. The following section describes how to use SampleOne.

Interface

The main display shows the currently selected sample waveform and allows playback/loop-range and keymap-range

editing, as well as sample zoom. To the right of this display is the list of all currently loaded samples, which trigger

simultaneously and can therefore be considered sample layers. Below the main display are the amplifier, filter, and LFO

parameters that can be set for each sample.

Add and Play a Sample

To add a sample to SampleOne, drag any audio clip from the Browser, or any Audio Event or selected range from the

Arrange view, into the sample list. The waveform for the audio clip appears in the main display. If you drag in a selected

range from the Arrange view, the range is bounced to a separate audio file and then added to SampleOne.

Note you can quickly access samples that are in the same file location as a loaded sample by using the [Previous] and

[Next] button to switch to the previous or next sample in that file location.
