Re: new build of DP 9.13 for download might solve issues

FYI.... This build is supposed to fix the edge-edit crash in DP9.13 I haven't tried it yet though.

Re: Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones

Hi. Maybe I needed to phrase this better. The problem isn't with VI's hosted in VEP, it's with VI's hosted in DP and VEP not playing in sync together. If I have a Zebra arpeggiator in VEP and the same exact one in DP, and I start playing back the same note on the downbeat, they will be out of sync. ...

Re: Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones

I am talking about 9.13. Going to update my signature now (finally).

Re: Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones

I'm actually talking about VI's with internal arpeggiators or sequencers, like Arp2600 or Zebra.

Getting DP hosted VI's in sync with VEP hosted ones

I feel like this has been an issue for a long time with DP, so I doubt it has anything to do with the latest release. It's pretty easy to see that if you start playback at a downbeat where a virtual instrument (that is tempo dependent) is hosted in DP, it will be out of sync with anything coming fro...

Re: Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

Just out of curiosity tonight, I tested this same experiment with my old G4 PowerBook running DP5.13 (probably the greatest version of DP ever!). 250 MIDI tracks glide up and down with the scroll bar perfectly. This is a 15 year old laptop with 4GB of Ram in it. Anyways, MOTU knows about the graphic...

Re: Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

OK here's my findings on my machine anyway. 250 blank MIDI tracks have no real issues scrolling in either Tracks or Sequence editors. Adding MIDI to all 250 tracks both struggle when collapsed to their smallest size. When either is expanded vertically they scroll a lot easier, with the Sequence per...

Re: Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

I hope that's the Congalos I think it is! I did hear back from MOTU. After 15 years of using DP, I finally have an inside man at MOTU HQ that I can ask questions to. He did a quick test, and found that it's a Sierra issue. At least, it doesn't happen in OS 10.10. He tested it on a Macbook running 10...

Re: Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

Thanks for the ideas. I should update my signature here. I'm on Sierra with 64gb of Ram. I have two ATI Radeon cards in my computer that power 3 monitors and a big tv monitor. I can throw anything at this computer, and it doesn't break a sweat. I really doubt it's a hardware issue, especially since ...

Re: Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

That's two of us, but I'm thinking this is definitely baked in to the latest version of DP. Try this quick experiment: Create a completely empty project. Add 250 MIDI tracks. Increase the tracks size until there are about 60 tracks visible on the page in the Tracks tab. Now try scrolling down. It's ...

Re: Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

I should add that it seems to only be the Tracks Overview window. My Sequence window scrolls very smoothly up and down, and left and right. Weird.

Graphic processing power for Tracks Overview window

I've been noticing that scrolling around the Tracks Overview window in the latest DP is very slow and sluggish. Not impossible to use, but it feels choppy when scrolling down my long template. Moving around horizontally is pretty slow also. My computer is certainly up to the task, and maxed out on R...

DP settings for extra large template: MIDI+audio tracks

Hello.... been a while since I needed to post a question, but here goes: I'm working on a show that I've made a huge template for. Several hundred MIDI tracks, all routed to VEP (same computer) and back through multiple AUX inputs. I also have DP hosted VI's and several tracks of audio. My system wa...

Re: Great DP iPad app that most of us can't use

It sure is. Guess it was just some weird timing.
