So here is a link within the help system which compares the 3 versions of Spectral Layers. It is kind of weird though, because I thought I saw a comparison table which showed Pro, Elements and One on the Steinberg site itself, but it now only shows Pro and Elements. Anyway, the help document shows 3 versions, with the differences illustrated: https://download.steinberg.net/downloads_software/SpectraLayers_7/help/One/_spectralayers_editions_comparison.html

Everything I've read indicates it is Spetral Layers One 7 - https://download.steinberg.net/downloads_software/SpectraLayers_7/help/One/index.html

I believe the big winner here is the Artist version. There are some cool new things in the new version, but I'm a little shocked at how many of the new version 11 features and formerly Pro exclusive features Artist and Elements are getting - especially VariAudio 3 in Artist - I have to believe they must be working on a Polyphonic VariAudio to differentiate Pro from Artist and Elements. Despite Artist and Elements getting the Tone Assistant, it's hilarious that Chord Assistant Proximity Mode and Music XML features are limited to Pro. For someone looking to get into the Cubase ecosystem, Artist looks much more appealing than before.

If Artist is getting features which were historically only available in Pro, you have to assume that Pro is enhancing those features to differentiate it from Artist. NEW IN CUBASE ARTIST 11: Famous Steinberg 64-bit floating point audio engine with versatile routing and automatic latency compensation - NEW: Unlimited number of audio (used to be 64), instrument and MIDI tracks (used to be 128), up to 32 physical inputs and outputs - Suite containing over 70 high-quality VST audio and MIDI effects, including Pitch Correct for correcting vocals, VST Amp Rack and VST Bass Amp, Quadrafuzz and many more - Complete set of 8 leading instruments - over 2,600 sounds - including HALion Sonic SE 3, Groove Agent SE 5, Padshop 2 and Retrologue (Pro???) - Huge library with thousands of instrument sounds, sound loops MIDI and audio sample construction - Compiler tool to create the perfect version of a recording from multiple takes - NEW: SpectraLayers One to visualize and clean up your sound or separate vocals from any types of audio data (Pro ????) - NEW: Tone assistant, chord track and chord pads to compose with scales and chords in a creative and playful way (How might is be enhanced in Pro???) - Powerful sample editor for all common audio work - NEW: VariAudio to edit mono audio tracks like notes on a MIDI track, generate automatic harmonization and create auto-tuning effects (Might Pro get the ability to edit POLYPHONIC audio tracks?!?!?!? )

All of this is just information from the leaked beta 2 manual from months back. It is likely that there will be updates, deletions (and hopefully additions) in the GA release of 11.

The crossgrade is almost too tempting to resist. S1 appears to have everything I want in a DAW.

Do you really have to be a newsletter subscriber? Also, I followed the link you provided but cannot see the offer.

If money was no object, I'd have Bapu's computers and software.

Wow - enhanced score editing and printing and retrospective MIDI record? Nipping away at Cubase...

So with Spectral Layers "AI" algorithms able to "sense discrete events in a sound field and isolate them on independent, colorful layers" and Greg Ondo saying in his weekly Cubase hangouts that Variaudio "currently" only works with monophonic source material, is it a stretch to think that a polyphonic Variaudio may be in the works for Cubase Pro 11? ?

I'm hoping my plan to do the same with my unregistered cross-grade to Cubase Pro 10.0 will afford me the same opportunity. I have high hopes for v11.

Yes, it's almost like you'd need some AI to figure out the best way to playing something on guitar - even then, different players would select different positions.

Heck, I'm still shocked that REAPER added notation. They were primarily focused on audio, with MIDI a little less mature.

Shhh... I'm kicking myself for not picking it up for $49

I've gotten into the habit of creating a Windows System Restore Point just prior to installing / updating software. You just never know.

Here's a fancy boi version for readablity : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1TebXhXaQiaQYuceaRfFRawS-ovxCxq8gdnTZcC9Ik/edit?usp=sharing

Glad I found this thread. I've got 8.5, X1, X2 and X3.

It appears that v2.0.7 is now available on PB 2.0.7 Prevent Scaler from hanging when reloading a saved project in Cakewalk - Windows Editing a chord voicing does not reset its custom playback settings anymore Add ability to Enable/Disable blinking effects All font size have been slightly increased Add ability to select between 3 font sizes (Small, Default, Large) Shift-Click on a chord from your progression now opens Chord Editor Further timing calculation improvement: Scaler 2 is now more accurate and consistent across the different trigger/capture modes: Live triggers, Section Playback, MIDI Capture, MIDI Output Prevent hung notes when dragging chords outside of Scaler in some DAW Prevent hung notes when holding a key not yet bound then activating bind Fix an issue causing dropped notes when arpeggiating chords with a voicing profiles applied Prevent the Settings menu from appearing behind other UI elements

In REAPER, it only displays the VSTI3 and VST3. Btw, because it has "Input Fx", you can record any MIDI you generate in realtime, with the pads - you don't even have to sync Scaler with the DAW. The same can't be said for Mixcraft, without using a 3rd party MIDI router.

Is a version log included which lists what is fixed in each update? Also, I hope the demos are being updated as well, seeing as how these are used to check compatibility with one's DAW application...

I remember when Studio One came out, thinking what a stupid name it was, because they'd have to change the name with every successive major update...

Slightly off-topic... Currently a crossgrade to Studio One Pro is $299 USD compared to buying Studio One Pro outright is $279 USD ?

I'm still in the process of evaluating Mixcraft with REAPER and the Cubase ecosystem.
