Fender unveils connected music ecosystem with Fender Studio Pro, Audio Interfaces and Controllers.

In a landmark announcement, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) introduced Fender Studio, a unified music-creation ecosystem that rebrands and integrates the powerhouse PreSonus® Studio One Pro software and recording hardware under the Fender name.

A New Era for Studio One: Introducing Fender Studio Pro

The centerpiece of this launch is the transition of Studio One Pro into Fender Studio Pro. Far more than a simple rebrand, this new iteration brings Fender’s world-class analog heritage into the digital workspace.

The new Fender Studio Pro 8 includes:

  • Mustang & Rumble Native Plugins: 57 iconic guitar and bass amp models and hundreds of effects, built directly into the DAW.

  • AI-Powered Innovation: New audio-to-note conversion for layering sounds and "Intelligent Chord" technology for creative songwriting.

  • Modernized Interface: A new channel overview and visual design built for faster, more intuitive mixing.

“Having authentic Fender amps and pedals built straight into the DAW is a game-changer,” said GRAMMY-nominated producer Alissia.

Next-Gen Hardware: The Quantum and Motion Series

Fender is backing the software with a massive hardware rollout, transitioning PreSonus recording lines into a high-performance Fender portfolio:

  • Fender Quantum LT & HD Series: A range of interfaces featuring MAX-HD mic preamps and ultra-low-latency drivers. The HD Series offers 32-bit/192 kHz high-definition conversion and "Auto Gain" for effortless setup.

  • Fender AudioBox Go: A portable, ultra-affordable interface designed for creators on the move.

  • Fender Motion Controllers: A new line of production controllers designed for seamless tactile integration with the Fender Studio Pro environment.

The "MyFender" Unified Experience

To support this transition, FMIC is launching MyFender, a unified platform that replaces MyPreSonus. This single hub will serve the entire Fender universe, from guitar and amp owners to digital software and hardware customers.

While the flagship production tools move to the Fender brand, the PreSonus name will continue to serve creators through its acclaimed Eris monitors, StudioLive mixers, and Air XD loudspeakers.

Tradition Meets Tech

By unifying these tools, Fender is solving the "fragmentation" problem that plagues many home studios. In 2026, the creative flow from the first riff on a Stratocaster to the final master in a DAW is finally a single, connected experience.
