For trailer music orchestrators like myself, this feature is a godsend.

[@Muserings]

This was the one feature that made me I upgrade to Studio One 5 from version 4. Requested it and Presonus delivered. Clearly and calmly explained as always by Mike with examples of quantizing 👍 (I think the same advantage applies to transposing pitches in parts?) The only trouble is when you have a 'tree' structure of articulations. For example I use VSL and the instruments have a 1st main articulation (for example sustain, staccato, pizzacato etc. ) then a secondary (e.g. accented, marcato, spiccato) and sometimes even a third branch. This means a certain key (e.g. D#1) could give completely different articulations dependIng on which main 'branch' has been selected. Therefore you cannot correctly label the keyswitch lanes. Shame, but still an improvement to the old way. You can find my VSL keyswitch set ups on the Exchange that Mike mentioned if you want to save some time. Been subscribed for a long time Mike - always a pleasure to see your videos.

Thank you too!

Wonderful insight to key switches. Did not know that Studio One had the capability. Awesome :)

[@sevenfifteen]

Hi Mike, the next release of Cakewalk by Bandlab will introduce the same functionality. They call it "articulation map", but is an exact copy. I really like your approach to teach on features. Keep it up!

[@CreativeSauce]

Oh I didn't know that! Awesome :)

[@daniellesaux6152]

Another problem solved by the key switch function is when transposing a track, it leaves the key switches alone.

[@eylam9690]

DUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[@retsmej]

oh my ! this is beautiful feature !!!

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

Ample Guitar Taylor was a great choice. I have it, it's the bomb, plus keyswitch is a big update. I have used this in Logic Pro X.

[@kangkane5121]

Great feature in Studio One, thanks Mike.

[@CreativeSauce]

My pleasure :)

[@TimE_5150]

Great video Mike, as always informative, clear and concise! Thank you.

[@DotComDrones1]

Tick box in "Options" "Advanced" "Midi" "Chase long notes" this will enable midi to be played from where you place your cursor.

[@keithdunwoody1302]

Wow, never knew about this option. This is great. Cakewalk has done this by default forever. Thanks for the tip.

[@douga8296]

Tremendously clear and useful explanation. Thanks!

[@MustacheVerra]

I hope they add ch. 1 to 16 as an options in the future amongst other things. No need to make things super complex but this 1st version is really basic... But I'm glad they added it cause I'd still by on Cubase if they didn't.

[@jeromeweaver809]

Great! I use Studio One 5; it's my go-to DAW.

[@gustavoruiz5637]

Great feature! Reason doesn't have this so I must go back everytime to catch the "key switch"

[@SamSung-xe8lv]

Hi. Just liked and subbed. Great tips. More studio one and Maple bass tips please

[@CreativeSauce]

Thanks! Will do!

[@derocklong5122]

Hey Great Job!!!!!!! I'm looking forward to using this in orchestration. Hope it does work.

[@TimE_5150]

[@jeffwonk2024]

[@CreativeSauce]

You're welcome!

[@petersvan7880]

Great video and presentation thank you. S5.1 rules!

Thanks for the video! How can I import key switches presets from presonus exchange? I've downloaded them, but couldn't figure it out...

[@eylam9690]

Heya. Using studio one 5 and cannot see the keyswitches tab. How can I bring it up? Pressing on + brings up this window with additional parameters, but they are not in there either.

[@ransbarger]

Wow! Thank you

[@ArielJaraMix]

Very useful! Thanks a lot

[@MontegoBayApartment]

thanks a lot....it's so helpful!

[@jrclarkbass]

Key Switches are coming for Cakewalk by Bandlab soon!

[@LightWingStudios]

Good Stuff! :)

[@Catalonia]

So I have a weird glitch, where my line "velocity, note controller, key switches, et al" is not there. Instead it's "velocity, note controller, sound variations" etc. Any ideas on how to get what you're showing?

[@eylam9690]

This is better than pizza. Naa, maybe not pizza. It's better than chocolate though.
