Re: Assigning MIDI cc without Controller

If you aren't seeing parameters for a plugin, I can confirm they are not always showing up in the dialog box. Hybrid by AIR will not give it's parameters in the target side of the dialog window, if you 'Edit' the controller assignment. Workaround: Close the dialog, Right-click the assignment in the ...

Re: Can't install MachFive 2 for DP 9.02 under OS 10.11.03

Machfive 2 and MOTU Symphonic both work up to Yosemite 10.10.5 as AU versions. After an upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 at least, they break. If you need to be on El Capitan, and you need Machfive, there's little choice but to upgrade to M53. I am on El Capitan and solved this with Falcon. It plays al...

Re: DP8 & XT sending delayed MIDI data

Hi, I have this problem too. I play a note on my controller and all input looks good. (My MidiExpress has led's) Output is delaying by about 2 seconds to external MIDI ports. I also have MIDI ports on my TC Konnekt, the output is also delayed on this unit. 3 year old issue on the forums here and DP9...

Re: Symphonic Instrument on Windows 8.1

The installer searches your hard drives for the .dat file. It should be copied first otherwise the installer will fail it's search, at least on Mac. Very quirky process. But you say you can play the standalone so I don't think there is anything wrong there with the shortcut to the .dat file. As for ...

Re: DP9 and MX4

After the DP9 demo is installed, DP8 can't access the MX4 retail previously working.

FYI, the retail MX4 (still for sale) won't open in several of the major DAW's current version. They should update it or pull it from the shelves, IMHO.

Re: Can I get a DP7 W/automap & MX4 tech-checklist done by s

So are you saying the limitation is automap won't work with the MAS version, only the AU? I can confirm there's no apparent way up to DP8 to run the AU version... I'm just about to setup NRPN control of the MX4 when I found this. Very old thread I see but doesn't appear there are many of us interest...

Mixing Board Persistence

When I open the mixing board, it keeps updating to show only one track. In the mini menu (top right) I select "show all tracks". Close and open again... Back to one track! How can we set the mixing board to stop updating? It's acting like an inspector which is awkward because we already ha...

Re: Any tips how to do these things?

#3 No. It's part of the feature that you can actually use the same keystroke, do different things, depending where you are. I like that. However, it can be a pain from scratch. And I think having an extra "destroy current assignments" beside the OK button would be excellent. I did myself a...

The examination of VST at startup is supposed to reexamine whenever it launches, if: VST plugin... skipped It will not try again if: VST plugin... failed You can see this in the "Preferences" window. Under "Audio Plugins". As it stands, DP8.07 will NOT do it's proper job with the...

Re: DP8.07 installation fails on Windows 7

Sorry, I've installed DP a number of times since last spring and on Windows 7 32bit it has been a smooth install. I even put it on Windows 8 64bit for a spin and it was the same. However, I have seen a problem once with this service (windows installer) not working. My solution was drastic, I reinsta...

Re: Windows not so scary

I have a perfectly functional 2.0GHz Macbook which Apple has dropped OS support for, yet Microsoft has not. Get your head around that. I agree Windows 7 is a breeze, I too use it at work. It's still very "Windoze" at times, gives you information you don't need, gets in your way once a day....

I showed this side-by-side comparison Mac/PC in a bug report and got a good response from MOTU tech support.
They admitted they had some work to do.

Re: All settings and preferences lost after 8.07 update

Yes, this happened to me in Mac OS 10.6.8

And brings up a good question: is there a way to backup all the preferences in your Digital Performer?

For highly configurable systems like DP I think it's really important to provide total recall.
