Recording is saturated with Controller-17

I had briefly installed DP v.11 and it began saturating my MIDI track with dense gobs of ctl-17 while recording. So I deleted the preferences and that seemed to take care of it as I fell back to v.10. Yes, I saw these rascals without my controller ON. I'm just curious what they are for (see pic) Tha...

Re: V Racks vs VE Pro

VEP has many benefits. One is that I am able to reduce my buffers from 1024 to 256 or even 128. At 1024 I had to edit MIDI tracks excessively because of the delay relative to the quantize value. What a chore just using DP! Now it's very snappy and I'm happy again.

Re: Advice ... importing video

DP wants to see a Quicktime file,--- .MOV

iskysoft makes a very good and cheap video converter app.

Re: Bizarre MIDI Problem

I’d suspect an errant pitch bend or wheel issue. Check your controller. Either that or DP is stuck In “singer” mode. :lol: I've had that problem before too. But I disconnected my MIDI devices. This is between DP and my VI's. I verified that from the keyboard in Kontakt, that DP, or some MIDI relate...

Re: Bizarre MIDI Problem

I had something like this happen yesterday. A short note cut off almost immediately after Note On when clicking on notes in the MIDI editor. In my case it might have been a half note out, but it was difficult to tell because the duration was so short. I was using a GPO harpsichord. I changed to a K...

Bizarre MIDI Problem

I don't know what to make of this, the latest in a series of frustrating nuts and bolts problems with DP 10.11. It's one thing after another. The latest is MIDI pitch errors while editing in the Sequence window, and for the life of me cannot understand it and so cannot correct it. I click a note and...

MX4 Not Saving CC assignments

I made a new patch based on an existing one and MX4 saved it but the CC's defined by Learn MIDI are not stored. And DP doesn't save settings like with Kontakt. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Re: DP 10.1 out

I can ONLY work in real time mode. Did I miss a memo? Is there a way to run plugins without pre-gen in DP now, or are you initiating realtime mode another way...by leaving the VI open or bussing? Yes, I have to leave the VI's open on the desktop (edit mode). And if I close them I get an unstable sy...

Re: DP 10.1 out

Edit: One other thing... I absolutely LOVE the fact DP doesn't need to re-load all VI samples when the buffer size is changed. Such a time saver! OTOH, it seems that DP now takes longer to prepare a VI for recording. When I record-enable a VI-connected MIDI track, the VI now takes an appreciable amo...

Re: DP 10.1 out

I have to admit I do very little MIDI editing these days. If I can't play the stuff right the first time after 50 years, I'm in the wrong business. Frankly, given your situation, I'd select the data, hit copy, select the next track, and hit paste. I guess I'm old school. lol I totally get the whole...

Re: DP 10.1 out

I don't work much in the sequence editor (different strokes) but i can see how that can be a royal PITA for those who do. Why would that be removed? Strange... Starting with v9, MOTU removed right mouse click editing(velocity, quantization, etc) from the Sequence window. Why? I use it all the time!...

Re: DP 10.1 out

*** Dragging MIDI between tracks in Tracks Window works fine, including duplicate (option key) or move, time-constrained or not (command key).[/quote] **** But it doesn't work in the sequence window, where I do 90% of MIDI editing. These DP inconsistencies drive me crazy. They seem so arbitrary. And...
