Yes its Vienna Ensemble Pro, running on a PC Server.That's how the instrument itself names its parameters. Studio One displays what is exposed by the instrument.
Is this a VST 3 instrument?

Well I also returned to Cubase today. Metagrid doesn`t work at the momemt with S1, and I don`t think the editor handles CC in a way, that I can live with. Some of the VSL instruments has 10 CC, just to hard in S1. But the Sound Variations rocks!I think Presonus could simplify the naming of those CC lanes - but also improve the CC lanes in general (ability to change the defaults, controller lane sets, key commands to bring up specific sets, etc).
Anyway, glad you're trying S1! I think it will continue to improve! (I've gone back to Cubase for now because some of the smaller issues really added up and hindered my workflow, but hoping they get them fixed soon. I reported probably like 10 bugs since 5.2 released).
Yeah I understand the pain. It is almost there - and getting better as Sound Variations demonstrates. I'm hoping by 5.3 / 5.4, it'll really have resolved some of the workflow issues. Cubase is no slouch in the end - there's a reason why so many professionals and hobbyists use it!Well I also returned to Cubase today.

Why not use Studio One remote? You can literally fill it with every macro, including for Sound Variations, you want.Well I also returned to Cubase today.

But the best all-rounder does not work particularly well on WindowsLate to this thread but I just wanted to say Logic is probably the best all-rounder hands down.
Yeah that's the thing. I'm a Windows user myself, and been one for 20-odd years, so I'm quite invested in Windows. I tried MacOS full-time back in 2007 for a whole month and wasn't impressed, so I ended up returning the Mac Pro and stuck with Windows. It's been a while since then, so maybe things are better now? Windows is imperfect, it's plagued by niggling issues, inconsistencies and annoyances, but it also gets many things right—a bit like FL Studio.But the best all-rounder does not work particularly well on Windows
Logic licenses are 1/10 the cost of the average decent macbook. They’d be giving up sales of their finite product (computer hardware) for a software product that would need to be sold at a minimum of 10 times the rate.Yeah that's the thing.

I might check Apple's return policy in my country, if they are happy to let me test-drive a Mac Mini with Logic for a month, I'm willing to give that a second chance. All I can say is... I have a feeling if Apple released a Windows version of Logic, some existing users would switch back to Windows, and they would probably sell a huge amount of Logic licenses.
Sure, I wasn't implying Apple would actually make more money from making Logic PC-compatible and selling more licenses. I was merely saying they would sell more licenses but, as you say, overall profit would be less which is the reason they don't do it. Even if they made a Mac version that was basically free and a PC version that cost $800, it would still be unprofitable because of piracy. With Apple software the hardware becomes the anti-piracy dongle, which can't be pirated anymore since the M1.Logic licenses are 1/10 the cost of the average decent macbook.
