PRESONUS S1 Artist 3.0 [26/307] Vst plug ins

The following describes the process of managing your content using the Studio One/Options/Locations (Mac OS X:

Preferences/Locations) menu.

User Data

Any content you create using Studio One is automatically stored in the location you specify. This includes Songs, Projects,

Effects Presets, and all of the files these categories contain. All of your creative output can be logically organized and kept

in a single place, which makes future location and backup a breeze.

When creating a new Song or Project, the User Data folder is the default save location. While we recommend using this

location, you can specify any save location when creating any new Song or Project.

Engage the Auto Save Documents option to automatically save any open document at a specified interval of time.

Engage the Ask to Copy External Files when Saving Song feature to be given the option to consolidate any outside

files to the central data folder when saving a Song.

File Types

All supported file extensions are listed in the Studio One/Options/Locations/File Types (Mac OS X:

Preferences/Locations/File Types) menu. Only these supported file types are displayed in the Browser.

It is possible to add file extensions to this list by clicking on the [Add...] button. In the pop-up menu, you can choose an icon,

enter the file extension, and provide a description for the file type. Select a user-added extension from the list and click on

Remove to remove it.

Sound Sets

Preconfigured packages of loops and samples are bundled with Studio One. The Browser’s Sound Sets folder makes

finding this content quick and easy. These packages also contain information about each content vendor, which is

displayed in the Browser when a package is selected. Click on the Visit Website link in the Browser for more information

about the vendor and the content they supply.

Instrument Library

Studio One includes a native virtual instrument called Presence XT that utilizes a cross-platform sample library format, as

well as standard libraries in Giga, EXS, Kontakt (version 4 and below), and Sound Font (SF2 and SFZ) formats. Using the

Instrument Library function, you can tell Studio One where your sound sets are located, giving you access to them as

presets inPresence XT.

To add sound library file locations to your Instrument Library, in the Studio One/Options/Locations/Instrument Library

(Mac OS X: Preferences/Locations/Instrument Library) menu, click on the [Add...] button and specify a file location, then

click OK. You can specify as many locations as you need.

For more information on the Presence XT built-in virtual instrument, refer to the Presence XT section.

VST Plug-ins

When Studio One starts for the first time, most of your plug-ins are located automatically and are ready to use immediately.

If Studio One fails to find certain plug-ins, adding them is easy.

To add any missing VST plug-ins, navigate to the Studio One/Options/Locations/VST Plug-ins (Mac OS X:

Preferences/Locations/VST Plug-ins) menu and click on the [Add...] button, then specify a location and click OK. You can

also drag-and-drop any folder from the Explorer/Finder into the Locations list. Studio One then scans these locations at

startup, including searching for new plug-ins you’ve added. You can always add more locations if needed.

AU, VST 3, and ReWire-enabled plug-ins and applications have their own pre-set file path in the OS and do not have to be

located manually.
