Studio One - Patterns

How to use Patterns in Studio One. The Pattern Editor is a step-sequencer that can be used for drums, beats, and melodies.
#PreSonus #StudioOne
I am using Studio One 4.5 in this video
Patterns are a totally different way to create in Studio One. Instead of using the Piano Roll for MIDI, you can use the Pattern Editor to program your drums (or synth, or piano, etc...) in the step-sequencer. And once you create a Pattern, you can use it all over the timeline. You can create variations of your Patterns very easily as well.

Patterns make it easy to come up with ideas and beats, and then quickly assemble them into a song.
And of course you can use Patterns with all of your drum instruments, like BFD3, Superior Drummer 3, Steven Slate Drums, and more. You will even see a readout of each drum for each lane in the Pattern Editor. That makes it much quicker to program your drums.
Plus, you can use it will all of your synths, pianos, or even strings to quickly create melodies, arpeggios, and more.
In this video we'll cover everything you need to know about Patterns in Studio One.
You'll see how to create Patterns, create variations, assemble your Patterns on the timeline, use automation, and even save your Patterns for re-use.

God damn ive been looking for ever for this information. I thought I was gonna be stuck programming drums through cakewalk til I died lol

[@njumorning4390]

. . for how long did I struggle with boring obedia . . . wasting time . . . and now, this is straight to the point. THANK YOU !!!

[@BenoniStudio]

thanks for the view and comments 👍

[@GreystoneRecording]

I rarely leave comments, but this is really in depth and the best tutorial I’ve seen on the pattern mode. Thank you!

[@ZaryaMain]

Honestly, I couldn't even find this damn pattern editor without your video, thanks for showing the steps to open it. Most videos just straight to using it. Why is this so hidden lol?

[@mikewalter4950]

gonna be world of music......ive been playing since mid 70s and been to studios. now i have this awesome.

[@alameenbalogun7113]

God bless you for taking your time to teach this.

[@eddiedpaulding550]

I like to learn while doing and you did just that for me. Continue to teach while doing and assume we no nothing. The littlest details are often the questions we look for. Thanks.

[@BenoniStudio]

Cool man, thanks for the view 👍

[@doyrayburn2668]

Glad I found you!! I like your approach. Wish me luck.

[@therealjackfisher]

Best Studio One sequencer walkthrough on the web. Thanks. This explained so much in such a short time.

[@branimirkruzic9453]

This is the very best video on S1 Patterns I’ve seen ... 🙏 and I learned some new things !! Thank you for this in depth explanation 🤩🥳

[@BenoniStudio]

Thanks 👍

[@RudeBass]

Real !

[@MrStupidHead]

Yes it is. agreed.

[@GladysGrace001]

Very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you so much.

[@ishrashad]

Thanks mate. Most other S1 pattern videos don't talk about how an external drum vst works with patterns. Well done!

[@jeromeweaver809]

I’m a Studio One user, I love the features, thanks for this video. Helping the community of music makers is essential. I hope to see more demonstrations of the music creation features in Studio One. Tune in Friday for Presonus special event at 10:00 CST on Facebook and KZbin. Thank you again.

[@h2olife1]

Very good breakdown man! You did a great job breaking things down in an orderly, concise way.

[@ferda.fotbalista6608]

Thank you very much. Very good video. You are good👍🏻❤️. you helped me a lot. Thank you

[@NathanDavidCarltonSoundbed]

Fantastic video.

[@d.ferguson6838]

Thanks for sharing. I could not find a video to tell me how to do my hi hats using Pattern Editor with Battery but in Studio One. Yeah for me. Keep sharing and helping us newbies.

[@javierallende4639]

Excellent video, perfectly explained !!! Thanks !

[@melodikmusic]

Fantastic walk through! Thanks!

[@Knolram]

That was awesome! Thanks so much for putting that together, I feel ready to make patterns in S1 now

[@israelmaymoni6476]

Best video ever man

[@stevenicholsonproducer]

The Major Problem with patterns is not being able to use the 'groove' editor with them only static swing. As a house producer this is essential to me. You can use the groove editor with the Midi drum editor though. Presonus needs to implement this because patterns are very good otherwise i'm stuck with the drum editor

[@gregwilliams2764]

Really excellent. I didn’t know that was in there everyday something new,!!

[@mikedegrazia]

Holy shit dude i love you for this! I finally figured it out (with your help)...

[@believe-in-righteousness]

Thanks mate

[@giantteshorelone6345]

so helpful, this is exactly what I need.

[@bEASToUTtHEbOX]

Switching to S1 from Reason. Great video btw

[@BenoniStudio]

Thanks for the view. Enjoy S1, it's a great DAW.

[@f18studios46]

Thanks for sharing. Great video. Learnt something new!

[@charlesgraham4286]

Thanks for the great video, learned a lot much appreciated thanks

[@fileptorlao7165]

Very nice very helpful thank you...

[@iamgeorgesears]

Great video! Well explained, thank you, kind sir!

[@pipipermusic]

Thank you, this was awesome

[@meemresh]

Nice video and very well explained. In patterns, can each drum have its own mix channel, or is it just all on one track?

[@MrStupidHead]

I have respected and appreciated all of the studio one tutorials on youtube. But this one in particular must be the finest production of them all. I was able to understand each item. Really excellent and thanks!

[@BenoniStudio]

thanks for watching 👍

[@aniki8542]

Thanks you very much, you are the best

[@DaOttah]

can we split the different drum parts like bass, snare, etc to each different channel?

[@zazoomatt]

>> G U L P

[@ismbeatz]

How can we select the patterns and move to the next octave?

[@jrustyshaffer5438]

So this is really helpful, thank you. However, in the edit mode, where you select the instrument, I'm only getting a choice GM Drums (GEN MIDI drums)....even though I've dragged IMPACT XT into the track. How do I get that window to show (and map) the instrument into the pattern editor? Thanks!

[@benboonproduction]

Thanks I appreciate

[@AndriiKrymskyi]

TY for video. Guys, plz, how to sidechein bass and kick in pattern?

[@JuanchoelBarbero]

Great tutorial!!! And studio one is awesome....I have worked with Ableton and Cakewalk but this daw it's much better!!!

[@TravelByNumbers]

The reason why some people use the QWERTY keyboard to enter drum hits in patterns mode is accessibility. Not everyone has the motor control to use a mouse.

[@gregwalker5554]

Very nice presentation! I'm feeling inspired. A question: if you create a melodic pattern, and you want to use the pattern but change the key, is there a fast way? For instance, you have a riff in C but want to go to the same riff in F. Thanks for the video.

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Duplicate the variation, select all and then drag up or down which will change the key

[@RishavBaruah]

Very informative

[@instructorecb4837]

Keep in mind that insert pattern is only available as a right+click option if you used it recently. Otherwise it doesn't show up.

[@mrsamir]

Is it possible to make triplet beat using pattern mode ?if yes, how ?

[@trentonfengel3770]

You just have to change the resolution to triplets

[@theintrancer1910]

Instead of going to the menu, or right click menu, just hold the Alt key on PC and double click left mouse button to insert a pattern block where you want it or simply create a macro button for Insert Pattern that you can then assign to a shortcut key. That's much faster.

[@cathywilson1273]

Thank you for sharing both of those ways to insert a pattern block!

[@oinkooink]

Can you import your own samples, kick, snare etc into the Studio One step sequencer and if so how?

[@evanwilcox82]

Yes, Just load an instance of Impact XT and right click the pads that you would like to change. You could also just use the blank XT format if you don't want to use any factory presets.

[@laudaaren6293]

Hello, May I ask a question please : Whan you have a signature in 6/8, why the pattern mode shows a pattern for 4/4? that would be a good feature request so the pattern view would match with the time signature

[@menschmaschine-2483]

Is there also a pattern mode for Piano Roll?

[@MustacheVerra]

You're glad you switch to S1? any regrets? I'm planning on doing that.

[@BenoniStudio]

I wouldn't say I've switched. I still have and use Pro Tools when I need to. But Studio One has become my go to for sure. It is really awesome. It does need some improvements, like the ability to extract multiple audio tracks from a video clip. Pro Tools does this easily while it can't be done in S1. Although I'm sure not many people need that function. One of the things I really love about S1 is the FX chains. I can take my voice track for a KZbin video, throw it in S1, drag my 'benoni SM7B voice' FX Chain onto the track, make minimal adjustments, and render. Then throw the audio into an NLE and start editing. It's so fast. Also really love the Patterns and Drum Editor. So much better than trying to use a normal piano roll to program drums. I don't regret buying S1 at all.

[@MustacheVerra]

@@BenoniStudio Thanks for taking the time. I'm not surprised you like FX chain as a lot of protools users mention this one. Studio One seems to have the best workflow overall. That's why I'm switching. I can always go back to Cubase if it doesn't work out as planned. I might also switch to Reaper if they add chord track v.6.

[@BenoniStudio]

Yeah you'll love it man. It's got so many features for such a relatively young DAW

[@MrStupidHead]

At some point in time, I think with V4, all of a sudden S1 got really, really deep. It has been advancing at a rapid clip. And all good things too. I've been there since S1 V2 and it is simply stunning how it has matured. It started from a whole new code base by the german audiomeisters who cut their teeth on Cubase. But under the sponsorship of Presonus, they have gone balls out in developing this codebase It is now mature, but solid. Cakewalk, Cubase, even ProTools, are too rickety a codebase for future sucess. They are going to start looking very old in the near future. But of course, my opinion is just that. Your opinion and experiences might be different.

[@bachelorgamer8001]

Can you nudge drums one studio one in drum pattan ir return to paino mode

[@philippec6269]

wich version of studio one do you use

[@mortenkalland]

Super

[@lionelsolo3727]

Great stuff, just got studio 5. is there a way of routing each drum hit to a dedicated mixer/console channel, or does the whole pattern go into one mixer/console channel. if not then i guess the other way is to have a separate track for each drum hit but the the word tedious comes into play here.

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Does it automatically.

[@eliaszerano3510]

How does the Accent Feature work ?

[@ayolos7923]

The piano shows but the drum doesn’t do I need a upgrade

[@bachelorgamer8001]

But can we not split into different tracks

[@guidokstworshipmusic]

At 4:40 when I want to make a beat in loop ,my loop is strange it's playing and stop at the and ,before to restart again, how can I solve the problem?thank you

[@abhishekk.m.7514]

is it possible the change the pitch of snare or kicks ?

[@MrJkalebby]

Yes, you can do that with Impact XT and other virtual sample controllers like sample one ect.

[@abhishekk.m.7514]

@@MrJkalebby I have Studio one 5 Prime version, so there is no ImpactXT. Is it possible to do without ImpactXT?

[@earlkeith4135]

I'm using Studio One Artist 4 I hit incert pattern and that's it that's all it'll let me do?? I can't pull up the edit screen??

[@HughManatea]

Get pro version. If you have not I reccomend it. I got my copy through splice.

[@angelbeatzonthetrack1701]

SORRY MISTER..CAN I INSTALL STUDIO ONE IN THE SAME COMPUTER I USE FL STUDIO??

[@BenoniStudio]

Yes.

[@angelbeatzonthetrack1701]

@@BenoniStudio THANKS .I WIL DO THAT BUT THERS ONE PROBLEM...THE PLUGINS I HAVE INSTALLED IN FL STUDIO,WIL NOT OPEN FL..I TRY THIS DAW BEFORE...

[@bachelorgamer8001]

But once that done how do you convert into audio

[@musician1971a]

Right click track header, convert to audio track.

[@xchump]

Why does no video explain the Steps and Resolution relationship better?

[@zendakk]

This is common to any pattern editor / step sequencer in any DAW: Resolution is the note length each step represents, and steps is the amount of steps for that specific pattern. So resolution and steps both at 16 means the pattern will be one bar/measure long, since it's 16 x 1/16 notes. 8 steps at resolution 16 would be half a bar, 8 steps at res. 4 would be 2 bars (8 quarter notes).. etc etc

[@joldschool64]

Man that's a lot to do just to create a pattern.

[@furryz666]

Time to update 4.6 some new features

[@BenoniStudio]

yep. 👍

[@jeromeweaver809]

How would you set Superior Drummer up in the drum editor mode in Studio One?

[@BenoniStudio]

Not sure what you mean. You should be able to insert a MIDI part and start programming. If the keymap isn't showing you might try creating your own or go to Cloud - Pitchnames and download the keymap for SD

[@jeromeweaver809]

@@BenoniStudio I figured it out, thanks for responding.

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

This pattern editor is so disorganised. The fact you constantly have to change your drum pattern back when you create a new one is annoying, I wish presonus would change that.

[@juanantoniovilagarces4931]

You try to say to many things at the same time, can't follow you, please organize your mind on advance.
