Studio One /New 7/ V8 due?

In a week's time it will be the anniversary of the launch of the new S1 universe, with version 7. Looking back on their announcement last year, as I understand it, there won't be any more numbered updates, so I assume the product will always be called '7.xx' ?? Have there been any rumblings on the bush telegraph about a one-year-on update? I'm still on V6 and will be eager to see what's cooking, in case it tempts me to jump back in.

Well, the whole idea for Presonus was to incrementally update S7 maybe four times a year without any "big ticket" additions, and that if you ever see an improvement or added feature that's a must-have for you, you'll jump back on board the subscription train for another twelve months. So a "one year" anniversary release with something special included kind of doesn't fit that model. However, the marketing gurus at Presonus will no doubt want to push some buttons and make whoopee about the one year thing.
Plus, it's theoretically a point in time when a lot of users will be considering whether to resubscribe or lapse into a perpetual license, and if the update falls outside the 12 month period and therefore wouldn't be included in the PL, Presonus might sweeten the pot with a significant new toy.
Mind you, I'm of the opinion that DAW developers have long been reinventing the wheel. I'd be really surprised if they came up with anything truly innovative or appealing over what S7 can already do.
 
Many thanks. Yes, it'll be interesting to see what transpires on the anniversary. Maybe before that (i.e. about now), Presonus will do a trailer aimed at possible 'lapsers'. Also, people like me, strongly thinking of updating, i.e. if I did that now, would I have to pay again a week or so later if a new update contains a 'must have'? 🤔
