I tried Reason's blocks once, I ended up making an entire track in that more, by the timew I got to ended, I though to myself.I could have done that in the normal sequencer mode, it's all workflow. I'm still stuck in my traditional way of producing so Scratchpad is nice to have, a tempory area to put stuff when you work on the main sequencer area it's more like, it just needs developed more I think. I actually came up with my own spin on that for a future Reason version, (link in my sig). This is one area that I do think Presonus is working on and thinking of expanding to be more useful, such as being able to see a visual preview of any actual Scratchpads from another window that could be chained together for sequencing and/or additionally auditoned, sorta like clip launching in other programs. It's one of the new features that users should be cautious of when using generally, it's not un-common for Studio One to freeze or even crash in some instances. Drag and drop on the fly and playback in most cases uninterupted as the track plays, hearing different arrangements or instruments you have set up for example without having to toggle and mute tracks.



It seems to be Reason blocks with fl studio's pattern mode philosophy, but this arises because of my cautiousness.Įssentially, it's a much more streamlined version of Reason's Blocks feature where you don't have think about having to feel that you are working in two different environments. How would this affect studio one if hypothetically speaking, creating 20 scratchpads.ĭoing little 2-10 second loops in each scratchpad then assigning each scratchpad to a dedicated arranger block would impact performance or is it just a new way to do pattern based sequencing?īecause sequencing something this way is very easy. Easilyncarter1 wroteIt's intended use is obvious, an area to get ideas down without messing with the main arrangement.
