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.
