Re: Audio to MIDI

so I installed Melodyne 5 as both AU and VST. Didn't show as an option in audio to MIDI. Not sure I downloaded the correct version. What links should I be using to download Melodyne and ADA from for Mac OS X Ventura 13.6.1?

Audio to MIDI

I have some DI guitar and audio synth tracks I want to copy audio to MIDI. Unfortunately, I can only select one of 2 instead of 3 conversion types. Melodyne is not available. I want to essentially convert audio to MIDI, then send that MIDI to an instrument track. This would save having to buy an exp...

Re: MIDI malfunction

I actually tried switching from a pad with long release to a piano, which naturally has a short release first, which seemed to solve the issue. Then I suddenly realised I should just turn Local off. Never mind...

MIDI malfunction

I am using an old Yamaha PSR530 home keyboard in the MIDI input of my 828es. When I play notes on the PSR530, the notes continue to sustain. I came across an issue similar to this before. I believe it was a setting in DP, but I can't remember what I changed. Any ideas?

Re: 828es and Mac OS 14 Sonoma

Vut a long story short: I was forced to wipe the SSD and reinstall Mac OS Mojave, then upgrade to Ventura. However, when I ran the Time Machine backup, it hadn't completely restored everything, and I've had to download/reinstall a few things. Because I forgot my apple ID password, Apple made me wait...

Re: sticky residue on 828es knobs after removing from storage

I was able to pull the knobs off, then spray them with foam air cleaner and rub them until the crap came off.

sticky residue on 828es knobs after removing from storage

After about 6 months of keeping my gear in storage, I opened my rackmount case to find the knobs on my 828es are sticky. The only other device in there is my power conditioner, which doesn't have this issue, although that still had the factory films on them. I removed those, and the ends of the retr...

828es and Mac OS 14 Sonoma

Hi, I was told by MOTU Support that DP11 and my 828es are compatible with Mac OS 14.0. I downloaded/installed the via latest version of DP11 and that appears to work, except it does not see the 828es anymore. There is no Mac OS 14.0 driver listed on MOTU's site. Well, I upgraded to Mac OS 14.0, and ...

Restrictions on how many insert plugins can be displayed

I'm not referring to how many use can insert per channel, I mean how many plugin windows can remain visable at the same time. It would seem the number of monitors I use is irrelevant (1x HDMI, 1xVGA). Lets say I use 7 inserts, 1 on each track. 6 were dragged over to the VGA monitor. But clicking one...

I wasn't even aware I could have multiple tempo changes in a project. I guess I'm just so used to Roland VS recorders :oops:

Re: Is it worth upgrading the RAM?

Also which AUs and how you use them can make a difference. If possible, large VIs should be in their own instance of the host player. That will spread the CPU demand across the various cores. But more RAM is never a bad idea. In their own instance? I usually just go to Add Track > Instruments with ...

Re: Is it worth upgrading the RAM?

So, I am correct to make the compromise in using VI's in Standalone Mode, and buy more RAM to satisfy DSP-hungry effects plugins?
