PreSonus have released their v7.2 update for Studio One Pro, the company's flagship cross-platform Windows/macOS DAW. The free upgrade introduces a new virtual instrument, along with expanded capabilities, workflow optimisations and a variety of wide-ranging performance improvements.
Headlining the update is Sub Zero Bass, a hybrid instrument that follows the lead of Deep Flight One and Cinematic Lights, combining synth, organic and bass guitar elements to deliver a wide range of low-end capability. Also included is Tuner2, a revamped tuning plug-in with over 30 presets for guitar, mandolin and banjo, with support for open and custom tunings.
Studio One Pro 7.2 adds the popular Nashville Number System support for chord-based notation, which is now integrated throughout the DAW’s Chord Track, Score Editor and floating chord displays.
Recording multiple takes just got a whole lot easier too in Studio One Pro 7.2. Now you can use Auto Punch with adjustable Post-roll and the ability to use Pre-roll, Post-roll and Auto Punch in any combination. All related features are consolidated in the Record Panel, so users can capture performances intuitively and fast with this enhanced Auto Punch/Loop recording workflow. For additional hands-free convenience, you can also use a footswitch to punch in and out.
As well as bug fixes all software updates tend to deliver, further new or improved functionality includes:
- Continuous play Cursor options during playback.
- Improved offline and real-time Audio export with automatic routing detection.
- Enhanced multi-core processing for Apple Silicon Mx-series Macs, with user-selectable efficiency settings.
- Public beta of native Studio One Pro for Windows on Arm64 — eagerly awaited by power-user PC musicians.

Studio One Pro 7.2 is available now as a free download for registered Studio One Pro 7 users and active Studio One+ subscription holders (which gives access to all of the PreSonus software for one low monthly price).
