Faderport 32 with better scribble strips would get my money.

If that were true and I didn't already have my FP16, I'd bite too.

I've got a 16 as well but the scribble strips drive me nuts. I would upgrade for new scribble strips, but if I'm dreaming why not throw in 16 more faders?

?

I've got a lot of projects going right now in v4 and will wait for the sale but am excited to see what they are coming out with!

On the one hand, I'm really excited about the new version of S1. VI-Control has rumours of MPE, all native plugins updated, new time stretch algorithm, tape, keyswitches, integrated note editor, better support for hardware, new scene and live recording features,  clip gain edit and new SQ controller.

On the other, I'm still really annoyed with Presonus for charging immediate upgraders full price, then halving the price for later upgraders who also got a free console shaper, CTC-1, that was never offered to its most loyal customers who paid double. If I buy it, it will cost me $79.99 or best $39.99 in a sale.

Hmmm....ok that's 1 product. Not sure if I'm excited or not...and the other?

The ATOM SQ MIDI Controller.

The ATOM SQ MIDI Controller.

That doesn't look like the kind of thing they would have taken years to develop. Stranger things have happened I guess. The ATOM doesn't look very useful to me for  composition work. There must be a huge market for DJ and looper/mixers out there. It strangely feels like many DAW makers are focusing on it so much they are letting the rest of us go. Yes, It's a midi controller and I guess that means I can use it to control functions in SO. I like the faderport idea better so far but am willing to be convinced.

@James Foxall I think you can scribble on those pads if you like ? 

 

[Bapu]

I'll pass on the ATOM SQ. I've no more room on my desktop anyway.

LOL a new korg nano from presonus was the biggest announcement and they bundled it with the Artist, I'm not even going to check the price

I sure don't see it replacing my Push. 

 

I am super excited to hear what's new in Studio One though!

Live Stream going on... yes, they embedded Notion into SO5... Also added a "show page" for live gigging...

Presonus seems to have closed the feature-gap between Cubase and S1 enough so that I can finally ditch Cubase.  Fingers crossed...

Anything on update pricing?

[smallstonefan]

I didn't see a ton that excited me, but clip gain envelopes : I've been needing this so that's cool!

I believe the store opens at 11 central.

[mettelus]

They said initially "same pricing" as previously, but not sure if that meant first-time buyers. It is actually going on sale at the end of the stream (11AM CST), 37 minutes...
