![]() ![]() The Loops browser tab.Perhaps the most useful category is Favourites, which lists any plug‑ins you’ve marked with a star. ![]() On the Effects side you get a list of any saved FX Chains and any Mix FX presets for the Console Shaper. You can also access the Note FX here for doing interesting things to MIDI. For the Instrument tab you get any Multi Instruments you’ve created and any External Instruments you’ve set up with MIDI controllers and external synths. However, if you store a preset as a Studio One preset then it will also appear in the Browser for faster loading.Īt the top of the list are some useful additional categories. ![]() Third‑party plug‑ins tend to have their own preset system and so don’t appear in the list. So rather than pulling an effect across onto a track and then opening it and browsing for a particular preset, you can pull the preset over and it will load up for you. With native PreSonus plug‑ins the Browser will list all of the presets. At the bottom of the list that comes up is ‘Update Plug‑in Thumbnail’. To do this, simply load the plug‑in and open the editor, then click the little down arrow next to the name of the plug‑in at the top of the window. One nice feature that has spread to other DAWs is the ability to add a thumbnail to the plug‑in of its GUI in action. The list can be a file‑style tree with them listed by name, or you can beef it up into a more tile‑based look which gives you a larger area to grab with your mouse. If you just want a straight flat list then that’s no problem either. You can list them by type, but this doesn’t mean type of instrument or effect, it means plug‑in type, which tends to mean PreSonus and then VST 2 and VST 3 (and so is not that helpful). You can have them listed by manufacturer, or how they are arranged in your plug‑in folder. You can list and sort the plug‑ins in several ways. The tabs for Instruments and Effects work in the same way, but one contains your software synths and instruments, and the other holds your effects plug‑ins. The Browser can function as a very natural part of your workflow. Audio and MIDI clips can be dragged directly onto the timeline and they can be dragged back into the Browser in the same way. It’s the same with dragging instruments into empty space in the arrangement window it will create a track for that instrument. If a bus doesn’t exist, it will create one for you. So you can drag effects onto audio or instrument tracks you can drag them onto mixer channels and effects buses. The Instruments tab houses all your software instruments, and can display them as a list, or in tiles with screenshots.Then, with any of the content in the Browser, you can drag and drop it wherever you want to use it, assuming it’s a suitable place. And you can use the Function keys to swap between tabs while the Browser is open. Navigationĭid you know that your Function keys are mapped to different tabs in the Browser? I bet you thought it was just F5 that opened and closed the Browser, which it does, but F6 will open it on the Instruments tab, F7 on the Effects tab, F8 for Loops, F9 for files, and F10 for Pool. While everything that gets used in your song or project appears under the Pool tab. The Browser’s presence and impact has swelled to take in all sorts of file‑based functions and probably has a raft of features that you weren’t even aware of.Īlong with your audio files, samples, MIDI clips and loops, the Browser contains all your software instruments and effects plug‑ins, anything you’ve sent or received from the Cloud, and an integrated shop where you can buy more PreSonus plug‑ins, sounds and gear. Studio One was one of the first DAWs to attempt to make the act of browsing for files a feature rather than a chore. ![]()
