Since no automatic version check or update process for content is in place, existing PSO customers need to update the two affected Sound Sets manually. Here’s how:
From Studio One:

  • Uninstall PSO Contemporary Strings.soundset and PSO Classic Orchestra.soundset via the Studio One Browser:
    • Go to the browser file tab
    • Open the Sound Sets folder in the root
    • Locate the Sound Sets mentioned above
    • Right-click on the Sound Sets and select “Uninstall”
  • Install the new versions:
    • In the application menu, select “Studio One Installation…”
    • In “My Purchased Items” select the two new Sound Sets of the same name
    • Click “Install”

Via web browser:

  • Go to my.presonus.com and log into your MyPresonus account
  • Go to My Products > Add-Ons
  • Locate PreSonus Symphonic Orchestra and click “View more details”
  • Download the two new Sound Sets (PSO Contemporary Strings and PSO Classic Orchestra)
  • When download is complete, drag the new Sound Sets into the Studio One application window while running
IMPORTANT: updating the Sound Sets doesn’t update presets used in existing songs. If desired, these need to be reloaded within Presence XT in order for the changes to be applied.
