A full band at your fingertips
It wasn't so long ago that people would have laughed if you told them you could have classic synths, keyboards, piano's, drum kits and more all at your disposal, for buttons, compared to the real thing, but that's what VST (Virtual Studio Technology) Instruments have delivered to every bedroom producer. No longer do you have to have the budgets or bank accounts of a Texas Oil Baron to have your home studio packed to the gills with endless supply of top studio gear. You can have a classic Rhodes, grand piano, B3 organ, Ludwig drumkit, Les Paul guitar or a full orchestra, all for a fraction of the price featuring on endless tracks on your own compositions.
So how do they work? Well simply put they all work off the message sent to them via midi data. This opens up a whole magical world of the ability to use loops (Pre recorded midi data) that can play piano parts or drum parts or anything else in you composition that you simply can't or don't want to play yourself. There are lots of loops incorporated in S1, dependent upon version purchased, and loads more 3rd party developers, some even for free, all offering every conceivable loop type you could want for any musical arrangement.
Studio One comes complete with two main VST Instruments, they are Presence XT sampler and Mai Tai polyphonic analog modeling synth. Depending on the version of S1 you purchase Presence XT, in (Pro version), includes a 14 GB sound library and the ability to open EXS, Giga, and Kontakt libraries.
