Just posted this on another S1 thread. Per their reference manual you should be able to adjust time/length/velocity in a similar manner to what you might be used to in SONAR. Actual hands on use might not feel the same.
 
I'm a bit curious about the following statement from their Reference Manual. 
LookMom,NoMIDI!
The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) specification was created in 1983. While it has served musicians well for more than 25 years, it has some limitations in terms of resolution and speed. We circumvent many of those limitations within Studio One by substituting our own high performance control system in place of MIDI when controlling certain vital internal parameters. As an example,fine-grained parameter automation is provided within virtual instrument parts, rather than much lower resolution (128 steps) MIDI control-data automation.The Control Link system is also made possible by abstracting MIDI from Studio One's internal processes. As MIDI evolves and new potential standards are developed, Studio One remains prepared for the innovations of the future.
....
OK, perhaps they -can- do better than a well established industry standard with many proven robust implementations, but I'd like to use a substantial user base that documents specifics of such a benefit.
 
From the PreSonus Forum
 
"I was commenting on S1's ability to remain competitive when it comes to the feature set, which is sorely lacking in many areas compared to the competition, particularly on the MIDI side of things. The slow development time combined with the radio silence is just frustrating. I feel like S1 just needs a really solid MIDI release, and to kill off a few longstanding FR's like Mixer Undo, Track Notes and an improved Tempo View and it would essentially be perfect. Narech is filling in some of the gaps on the MIDI side of things, while adding some cool functionality outside of the scripts, but this is all stuff I'd just like to see Presonus handle themselves (and do better frankly). 

I'm just getting impatient for a new release I guess. I'm still a fan of this DAW big time due to the workflow and stability, but just want to see the pace of development increase. I'm sure if I were using Cubase I'd be complaining about their poor VCA fader implementation or something else..."
 
...
I've taken a quick look at their Reference Manual. It says enough of the right things, but nothing like actual hands on use for my particular way-of-working to know for sure.
 
Looking for videos for a specific use case, such as setting up a drum map and creating/editing MIDI clips.

Hi,
 
I mentioned this in other posts to help with your decisions:
 
  • If you use Melodyne, Studio One already has ARA, Cubase does not.
  • Yes, Studio One is not fancy, but it is rock solid.
  • A biggie - Presonus is both a hardware and software company so Studio One integrates tightly with all of their surfaces and HW (not many SW companies out there do both).
  • Presonus purchased Notion software awhile and offers scoring integration with Studio One.
Hope that helps!

Can the track view and console view be displayed on separate monitors in Studio One? I thought I read on one of these threads that you can not split them to two different monitors. This would be a big deal for my preferred workflow.

It does not look like that is possible.  You can do that with the PRV, though.  Surprised you can't do it with console view.  I too would like to use two monitors one for track view and one for other views like console, PRV, Melodyne, etc.

I'm not positive, but at the link, it sounds like it's possible:
https://ask.audio/articles/top-10-mixing-tips-for-presonus-studio-one
 
"PreSonus has built Studio One with the multi-monitor user in mind. The console can be quickly and easily ‘detached’ from the main window. You can simply move it to a second display and maximize it to fill the screen.  
If you don’t use two monitors, you can also detach the console with the goal of keeping it ‘floating’ in the foreground. Then, when you’re ready to resume your typical workflow it can be ‘re-attached’ with the click of a button."
 
However, this link is from 2014, so maybe it no longer applies.

How do people find loading speeds for VSTs into tracks in S1??
 
I have tried on the SAME PC with S1 first, two vsts ( Kontakt & Arturia Analog Lab 2 ). I tried in S1 first .. took near 1 minute to load Arturia and about 40 secs to load Kontakt. 
 
I then closed S1 and opened Sonar Platinum. Both loaded within 10 seconds or less. Hardly windows caching across two different daws ie making 2nd daw opened faster?
 
Try this test yourselves?

Yes you can - need to undock (they call it attach) then move independently

It was not obvious to me like it was with the PRV.  Granted I spent about 2 minutes actually trying to figure it out.  I can probably adapt if I need to (just make the console view almost the entire screen (leaving one track visible in track view and mix that way.)  I seldom need to use both TV and CV at the same time other than song navigation.
