Re: Starting Samples assigned to Markers via MIDI Notes ?

I didn't know about this software, thanks!
The main reason why I have to keep the samples in DP is because the whole system is redundant.
So the backup laptop needs to follow exactly the main system.
Maybe the Nano sampler is a good idea. I´ll try that and give feedback ...

Re: Starting Samples assigned to Markers via MIDI Notes ?

It´s perfectly set to the marker. Its definitely a latency problem. When the sequencer runs and I hit "go to next marker" there is a timing issue. If I Stop the sequencer, go to the marker position and then press play, no timing issues.

Re: Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

Thanks gentlemen for sharing your knowledge! Here are three reflections (more thought as questions) after the last 4 weeks of touring: 1) Every time I start a chunk the relay contact of the SW8 opens (switching from >B to <A). This procedure creates a short but hearable "Clack" in the PA a...

Re: Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

I´m absolutely speechless about having such incredible expertise and I'm deeply grateful for that. I honestly admit to not always know who is behind the names, apologies for that, but again: Thank YOU! I just came off the first show and everything went absolutely smooth. We are the first band and pr...

Re: Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

Hey Kwiz, belated thank you for you help in this forum. Loads of sleepless nights, but production rehearsals ended today and the Playback Rig runs! I finally then decided to go out of the SW8 back into Motu 8a interface and send from there through the AVB channels everything via the M64 via MADI out...

Re: Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

Hey Kwiz, thanks no worries. I found a way to keep the Micro Express powered (in case the laptop goes down) with a Y-USB Splitter cable. One side goes to the laptop, the other one is power. Yes, i have to "manage" DP on stage through a Yamaha DTX Multipad. Being a drummer, playing and cont...

Re: Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

Thanks! The Y cabel works perfectly. In fact I was asked if I could "spare" another SMPTE signal to be send to the video wall. Perfect solution. So one SMPTe signal controls the SW8 now and the other goes out to the video guys. Now I'm thinking how I can make also the video signal redundan...

Re: Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

Thanks for replying. 1) I have AVB Ultralite interfaces for each MacBook sending 8 channels PLB out. The Micro Express synchronises through MTC both laptops and i use the SMPTE OUT channel to go into the Radial SW8 which controls through the threshold the signal flow from the laptops. I was now aske...

Redundant Playback System with DP9 and Motu Interfaces

Any MD´s out there or playback redundant rig operators with Motu hardware and DP software ?

I´m building a playback rig with DP9 software, two MacBooks, two Ultralite AVBs, Micro Express and need some knowledge or support if possible.


Thanks

Starting Chunks via MIDI Notes ?

Hi guys, new to DP9. Please allow maybe some stupid questions.

I need to assign different chunks to different MIDI notes.
I did open The Command window, assigned the individual MIDI notes to the chunks, but nothing happens. No chunk starts .... ??? What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.
