PreSonus Deep Flight One
Thank you for purchasing Deep Flight One for Presence XT!
Far more than a sample library, PreSonus’ new Deep Flight One
instrument library effectively turns Studio One’s Presence XT polyphonic
sample player into a powerful hybrid instrument! With Deep Flight One,
diverse samples are your raw material to be molded with synthesizer
parameters such as filters, envelopes, modulation, and effects.
Deep Flight One is fully compatible with Studio One Professional version 4 or
higher, as well as Studio One Artist version 4 or higher—albeit with limited
compatibility (Presence XT presets only, Musicloops on audio tracks only).
Features at a glance:
• Over 3 GB of unique sample content
• Over 300 Presence XT Presets
• 131 Multi Instrument presets
• Includes 50 Musicloops

Getting Started
Overview
Deep Flight One – Read Me
After registering and downloading Deep Flight One from your
my.presonus.com account, drag and drop the .soundset file into Studio
One to begin the installation and activation process. An activation window
will pop up—simply follow the on-screen instructions. If you received this
product with a PreSonus Sphere membership, activation is automatic.
The total size of Deep Flight One is approximately 3 GB, so make sure to have enough
disk space available—you may opt to install Deep Flight One to an external drive.
You can add new file locations in Studio One from the drop-down
menu. Go to Studio One/Preferences/Locations/Sound Sets and
add any new content locations here. Don’t forget to rescan the
Presets by right-clicking the browser and choosing “Refresh.”
Deep Flight One is more than a sample library for Presence XT. It effectively
turns Presence XT into a new hybrid instrument that uses samples as raw
material... but it also adds the full potential of synthesis parameters such as filters,
envelopes, modulation, and effects as significant sound design elements.
While each individual multisample preset can be used as-is, the real power
of this instrument is in the combination of multiple layered elements.
Similar to many popular synthesizers of the past, and some of the most
successful virtual instruments of today, this hybrid synthesis approach
delivers some of the most organic, deep, and inspiring sounds available.
The sample content and single presets are divided into three main
categories: “Synth layers,” “Modular layers,” and “Field Recording layers”.
The Synth layers are made from samples taken from some of the rarest, most
expensive, and sought-after synthesizers available! This includes but isn’t limited
to the legendary Oberheim Four Voice analog synthesizer, the New England
Digital Synclavier, and the super-rare Schmidt synthesizer from Germany.
Sounds in the Modular layers category have been sampled from
Eurorack and Buchla modular systems. Modular layers include a variety
of percussive sounds, as well as tonal and atonal soundscapes.
Field recording layers include organic and dramatic sound effects,
both tonal and atonal, providing that “secret sauce” in many of the
unique, layered Multi Instrument presets in this library.

Arranging with Musicloops
In addition to instrument and Multi Instrument presets, Deep Flight One also
includes a set of 50 unique Musicloops for quick and easy arranging. Musicloops
offer some unique advantages: they follow a song’s tempo and chord track, they
can be edited easily to create additional variations, and they can even be used as
audio loops when dragged to an audio track. The audio loop portion of a Musicloop
is compatible with any version of Studio One (Prime, Artist, and Professional).
To browse, preview and load Musicloops:
• Open the Studio One Browser
• Select the Loops tab
• Make sure to sort the loop display by Product, then Style
• Locate the folder “Deep Flight One”
• Expand the folder to view the full list of available Musicloops

You can preview Musicloops in the song’s tempo by enabling the “Play
at song tempo” option (metronome button in Preview Player).
