Gravity Feed for Studio One / Fender Studio Pro

Connect Studio One through Control Link or OSC to a VST3 encoder.

This guide explains how Studio One (now Fender Studio Pro) can work with Spatial9 Gravity Feed. Status: documented route. There is no public scripting for session automation, so the route is MIDI control of a spatial plugin, mapped with Control Link and recorded as automation. Spatial9 has not built or tested an adapter.

Route

  1. Create a virtual MIDI port (loopMIDI on Windows, the IAC bus on macOS) and add it as a control surface or keyboard.
  2. With Control Link, map two controls to the encoder's azimuth and elevation on each spatial track.
  3. Enter the tempo, section beats and track roles in the companion; it requests the plan with your key.
  4. Put the tracks in Latch, play the range, and the companion sends the planned values.

Studio One also hosts OSC-capable plugins: IEM StereoEncoder can be moved over OSC directly (/StereoEncoder/azimuth 40.0) while the track records automation of the same parameter.

FAQ

Does the product rename change anything?

No. The route depends on plugin hosting and MIDI mapping, which work the same way.

Will there be a native integration?

The planned Gravity Capture plugin is the intended route for hosts without public scripting.
