Re: External synth not changing banks with patch change

*AMMENDED* Unfortunately it's not possible to change banks from a MIDI track if CCs 0&32 are not used, as in the case of the TG77 which uses prgchg to trigger bank select, instead only via the MIDI thru for auditioning. A MIDI track is always dedicated to one bank in this case. That can be disco...

Re: One More SOS Thread, and I'm Done.

Well, I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind on this, and I admire everyone's fervor. However, it is indeed, I think, a compliment to Digital Performer to not have mention by this status quo rag and otherwise have to live up to it's very low expectations. DP is it's own breed, and I hope MOTU ...

Re: Repeatable crash - DP 7.21 STOP TIME selection

Do not get this to occur on a Macbook 1.83 with only a firewire bootdrive and a Logitech Nano attached. I read this and have to wonder how AMS (my suspicion) can be so flawed.. On my PPCs I had to revert to a Stealth Serial Port for all things MIDI, as USB has so weak a power source in the Macs unde...

Re: Bidule or Vienna Ensemble Pro?

I don't use either. The entire software setup is running realtime along side a hardware setup, both merged in an outboard mixer. This way circumvents the perplexing audio issue.

Re: Bidule or Vienna Ensemble Pro?

Run as many standalone instances of Bidule as you have cores and don't fuss with MP assignments at all. Each instance will assign itself to it's own core if available, otherwise it will share a core already in use. Allow at least 75-100 MB Ram for each VI. You can totally disable CPU usage per VI as...

Re: MIDI notes still hanging (DP 7.21)

Bayswater... In my case, I use MIDI only with MAS disabled. All my sound sources are either hardware units or remote computers acting as same. I had plenty of stuck notes, MIDI sneezes and at times all tracks seemingly played at a different tempo! However, I can only confirm the duplicate note on/of...

Re: MIDI notes still hanging (DP 7.21)

I agree with Frodo...It is OSX... I can confirm my duplcate note ons/offs in versions 4&5 were after MIDI left DP. I monitored them on the same computer and 2 remote computers. I'm not able to judge yet with version 7.

Re: Bad Habits

From the point of view of musical invention, any habit, particularly a technical fixation, is an impediment. With an instrument, if a musician has to look at his hands, it's already too late.

Re: Duplicate notes in MIDI edit

Most interesting...I had my share of duplicate sounding notes but could never see them, and remove duplicates, etc had no effect. But the question here is: Is there a volume surge/increase as a result of these ghost copies? Or is this merely a graphic phenomenon? If the former, you really should rep...

Re: thinking of switching to DP

Minimoog is right... HyperEdit...I've used Logic 24/7 since it was originally on the Atari thru to the present. Just the facts.... There is absolutely nothing in DP , MIDI-wise, you cannot do in Logic, which is why I run them side by side for Logic's processing capabilities. However, Logic will neve...

Re: MIDI notes still hanging (DP 7.21)

No problems because that project with a lot of MIDI tracks I reverted to 3.11 and older Logic versions in OS9. In the light of discovering a filter definitions bugaboo, in 7.21, I'm inclined to think our issue with this might be related to something innocent like "shade velocity" option, w...
