PreSonus Celebrates Studio One's 10th Anniversary with Version 4.5.3 Update

PreSonus is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Studio One recording and production software.

To kick off the celebration, PreSonus is releasing Studio One version 4.5.3. This update fulfills Studio One users' number one request by adding support for Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol series keyboards. Studio One 4.5.3 adds several other improvements and enhancements, such as a Remove Plug-in Settings function for the Plug-in Manager, new commands for Vertical Zoom In/Out Fine, and the ability to apply the Select Notes command to muted notes. Support has also been added for the Apple Notarization service in macOS 10.14 Mojave and 10.15 Catalina.

PreSonus is celebrating Studio One's 10th anniversary in multiple ways, including 10 days of giveaways (September 16-27) on Instagram and Facebook. To enter, participants are invited to follow PreSonus on social media and post a 10-second video. Prizes include copies of Studio One Professional, FaderPort 16, and a pair of monitors.

At age 10, Studio One is available in three versions: The top-of-the-line Studio One Professional; mid-level Studio One Artist, which is included with a wide variety of PreSonus hardware and is also available separately; and free Studio One Prime, an introductory version—not a demo—with no track count limitations. Studio One also can be expanded with Add-on extensions and sounds, available from the PreSonus Shop at shop.presonus.com/software.
