Its name may sound monolithic, but like all good software PreSonus Studio One is actually the scion of an ever evolving lineage of multiple revisions and updates. The latest is Studio One 1.5.1. It's available now as a free download to all registered Studio One Artists and Pro users, and it introduces the following new features to help streamline and expedite music production"

• A MIDI offset for recording is now available in the MIDI options to correct for poor timing with some devices and drivers.
• Double-click with the Arrow Tool removes a note in MIDI Piano Roll editor.
• Extracting audio from a video to a new track will automatically mute the video player’s audio output (Studio One Pro).
• ISRC code validation has been added in Projects to avoid disc-burning errors.
• A cache-file generation meter has been added to the Performance Monitor and to the Transport bar to monitor cache use.
• Song and Stem export now have a Publish (SoundCloud) option (Studio One Pro).
• A shortcut to the SoundCloud client has been added to the Start Page (Studio One Pro).
• The manual is now available in German.
• A “Solo Follows Selected Track” option has been added to the Track menu.

In addition to the new functional features, PreSonus enacted a few background tweaks to help Studio One perform with more efficiency and stability:

• Next and Previous Marker command was not working with some MIDI control surfaces
• Video was disabled in the demo version (now enabled)
• MIDI Time Code stutter in loop playback
• MP3 export used the wrong image tag
• “Out of memory” crash when loading large SF2 (SoundFont) files in Presence
• MIDI notes did not stop sounding (were “hung”) in Ableton Live through ReWire
• Instrument Part Editor height was too limited; now it can be completely vertically sized

Registered users can head over to the PreSonus Product Registration Home Page and logging on to their account. This is also where non-users can find a demo version of Studio One.
