Scripting obviously exists in Studio One - I believe our own @Lukas uses some part of it for the addons he's created, and I presume Paul Henty has reverse-engineered some level of access for the Icon scripts he's made for the P-1M and V-1M controllers. However, I haven't the first idea about what I would use them for if I had access, and I'm quite sure I'd make a pig's ear of it if I attempted any mods! That said, I'm sure there's a great deal of coding talent within the user community, and I know from other programs (not necessarily music-related) that the modding community is generally a very constructive and positive asset to the features offered by the target application. It would be interesting to see what they could do if the opportunity arose.
Lukas works at Presonus in addition to his other interests, hence he has access to scripting stuff that we do not.
It doesn't sound like there is any chance of user scripting at present, which is a shame.

I'm aware Lukas used to work at PreSonus. I was under the impression he no longer did so. I've read his explanations of how he had access to the scripts...
My bad. I thought he still worked there. He still has contact with the devs.

I have a request. I'd like a script that would remove the gaps between a selected set of notes. The simple use case for me is: I have a multi-bar ostinato embedded part way in a track and it's using 1/8th notes but I want to hear it in 1/16th instead. I know that I can snip this section out, do the time warp dance and stitch it back together, but it would be so much simpler to select the notes, change them to 1/16 and use a shortcut to remove the resulting gaps. I could then audition the new phrase and either keep it or undo. There have been other times and scenarios when I have wished for this kind of functionality.
As the manager of a 30+ person development team in a previous life, it's easy for me to think of this as a simple script. Of course, having no access to the API it's also conceivable that it's far more complicated that I envision. Sure would be a nice time saver though.

Yup. That's exactly what I want. I guess there's no way to assign a shortcut to a macro toolbar, right? It would be simpler to jump to a macro bar than it is now. I currently have 7 and it's become a bit unwieldy, so I've copied a bunch of stuff from around the horn and stuffed them into just a couple. That's how I missed the Tempo one. Lesson learned

This is true. If it ever does go public they'd have to refuse support for it though the support channel. Otherwise support would be deluged with questions about it in support tickets. If it ever goes public like Reaper, Vegas, and a few others that have published API's, they'd have to do the same and publish a decent API, some basic examples, and provide it "As is" with no official support.
The rest would be up to the Internet, guys like Lukas who can assist others if and when they feel like it.

Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing. I know I can assign a shortcut to a macro, but I want to assign it to an entire toolbar. I want to be able to jump between my midi toolbar and the scoring tools and harmony wizard, etc... using shortcuts rather than going to the macro dropdown. All that mousing around is a workflow killer. If that can be done using the native tools then I've missed it.

It sure worked for Blender. I've built and sold Blender add-ons for years, with minimal support beyond the occasional visit to YouTube.
Ah - yes, then I have another video for you:

Chalk up another point to you. I don't know how I missed these 3 macros, but this is precisely what I was wanting. I'll have to go back to my notes and what else I've been grousing about. Maybe you'll have solutions for those as well. Till then...many thanks, and cheersAh - yes, then I have another video for you:

Per track MIDI offset for hardware synths.
S1 is great for audio editing. I'd even say it's the best for what I do, but it falls down when it comes to outboard gear. I'm continually having to adjust it like I'm recording in 1998.
Nothing like this can be done with scripting. In Studio One, scripting can essentially be used to create new edit tasks (Studio One commands), add toolbars or windows that perform certain actions, or implement integration for controllers, keyboards, and similar devices.
