Just a heads up that S1 3.2 will be demo'd on the 25th of this month
and apparently has some big changes...

I registered for the webcast on the 25th. Hyperbolic marketing, as always with those guys. Remember the V1v3 launch last spring? I made it half-way through the webcast, nodded off, logged off...and bought a SPlat subscription with the S1 upgrade money I set aside. I picked up the S1v3 upgrade on sale, so let's see if v3.2 merits ANY of the hype.
 
Studio One 3.2 Will Raise the Bar Again
Join Us for the Launch on 2/25/2016
 
Something big has been brewing with the Studio One development team...something revolutionary...we don't use that term lightly around here, but trust us, it fits.
 
We'll be unveiling the new Studio One version 3.2 in a special webcast at 10 AM CDT on February 25th (rebroadcast 2PM CDT). We'll have guest producers, a live demonstration, product giveaways, and much more.
 
Don't miss out, Preregister for the Studio One 3.2 Webcast. 
 

 
 

I'm imagining it's BIG MIDI changes+.

Real drum editor is all I want.

This could be a real game changer, if I'm interpreting it correctly.
 
My two loves, Sonar and Reaper took a heavy hit when Studio One 3 introduced modular routing of effects and synths. Even Reaper took a back seat.
 
The new "note fx" would nail the coffin of about anything else running for first place. Don't know if others are reading the same thing into it.
 
Idea is that you can take a track and insert different effects or chains into user defined sections, like a flange on the first measure, a distortion unit on the second etc. Really really hope this is what's coming.

But will it have notation? If so I'd have to consider it.

How is this different from the clip FX bin in SONAR?
 

Ander,
 
Only here to learn, and if Sonar clip FX bin can pull this off, I've really missed the boat and not given Sonar credit for the function. Can someone verify that Sonar is capable of this... Never thought is was possible in Sonar or anywhere else.
 
Scenario would be on a single guitar track. Somewhere up the time line you wanted to change the effects chain to accommodate a lead. Then maybe tone it down to a different chain for a few measures, then change the fx chain to something else. Ability to take a continuous timeline on a single track and change the vst or vsti allocations in sections. Hope that this was there all the time and only my ignorance got in the way of recognizing it was possible all along..

I just watched the Live Reaper presentation last week and it was said Reaper already does this.

I'm not sure if it is equivalent to what Studio One is getting but you can do this with clip FX.  Just split the track into clips for the sections you want to toggle the effects for and then right-click a clip to add an effect to it.  A little FX label will show on the clip and you can click this to get the FX bin once an effect is on the clip.  I haven't used this extensively so I can't say how well it works with things like delay trails but I've used it for things like adding a phaser to a guitar track for just a verse and it worked well.  I don't think you can do the same thing with VSTi instances though.
