Studio Pro

Studio Pro

Description

Integrates with Studio Pro via a custom User Device using Studio Pro's native MIDI controller protocol. Includes command and selected-channel bindings. Requires Studio Pro 8 or later.

Setup

Studio Pro is Fender's rebranded successor to PreSonus Studio One. The MetaGrid Pro integration uses the same custom MetaSystem User Device. MetaServer installs it directly into Studio Pro's User Devices folder; you then add it inside Studio Pro's preferences.

If you're still using PreSonus Studio One, see Studio One Setup instead.

Install the User Device

Step 1: Open MetaServer

Open MetaServer → Integrations → Studio Pro.

Step 2: Install the User Device

In the Integration Components card, click Install on the MetaSystem User Device row. MetaServer copies the metasystem folder into:

  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Fender/Studio Pro <version>/User Devices/
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Fender\Studio Pro <version>\User Devices\

The row turns green once the copy finishes.

Tip: If the button isn't enabled, launch Studio Pro once so it creates its application-support folder, then come back to MetaServer.

Configure Studio Pro

Step 1: Open Preferences

In Studio Pro, open the Preferences window (Mac: Command + ,, Windows: Ctrl + ,).

Step 2: Go to External Devices

Select the External Devices tab.

Step 3: Add the Device

Click Add. In the device browser, expand the MetaSystem folder and select MetaGrid.

Step 4: Assign MIDI Ports

Set Receive From and Send To to Metasystem - StudioPro - In/Out (Mac) or the corresponding LoopMIDI ports (Windows).

Step 5: Confirm

Click OK. Studio Pro can now receive commands from MetaGrid Pro.

The Menu Command action gives direct access to every Studio Pro menu item. Create a button, add a Menu Command action, and select the desired command. No MIDI configuration needed.
