Re: shortcut for "Zoom the Waveform and Note Grid Vertically"
The version that opens from the DP Help menu is locked. See Attachment; top left. Get Info doesn't reveal a version. The Creation Date is March 27, 2023. I just downloaded a copy from the MOTU site. It's not locked. Anyway, I've had this question about scaling notes and the grid for a long time, and...

shortcut for "Zoom the Waveform and Note Grid Vertically"
When viewing notes in the Sequence tab, we can scale the height of the notes using the little magnifying glass tool for "Zoom the Waveform and Note Grid Vertically." This is what the Tip Tool calls it. Keyboard shortcut to scale the Notes and Grid is Cmd-up or down arrow. Great. Now, if I ...

Re: ALL THESE PLUG-IN SALES...
I'm a little late to this, but I've been getting bombarded with sales solicitations as well. I bought some cool synth VIs from AIR Tech, GForce, and AAS, and was pretty happy with them, and then, lightning flash, I learned about Cherry Audio. Their synth VIs are superior in many ways, and dirt cheap...

Re: Native Access 2 is available for download
I'm late to this discussion, but glad I spotted it.
I have both versions, and am also seeing much longer startup times for V2. I don't see a benefit to using 2 other than it looks prettier. I don't see any additional functionality over V1 unless I'm overlooking something. Am I?

Re: Is there a way to quantize pitch bend to a musical interval, not time?
I messed around with Thin Continuous Data, and went from this: Screen Shot 2023-02-03 at 1.29.45 PM.png To this: Screen Shot 2023-02-03 at 1.30.24 PM.png That approximates the effect, but finding the value to insert into the Maximum Value Change field is going to take some math or trial and error.

Re: Is there a way to quantize pitch bend to a musical interval, not time?
I can see how this could be a challenge in the DAW side, but not insurmountable, given the math. PB Range is set in the instrument. Some give options between 1 and 24 semi-tones. So, the DAW would have to "know" the PB range of the instrument in order to divide the range of +/- 8192 into s...

Re: Is there a way to quantize pitch bend to a musical interval, not time?
"Stair stepping" sounds like a good term to describe it. In certain applications, it can sound like an arpeggio. I'm remixing a piece I constructed more than 20 years ago in which I used that effect. The FM4 in Kontakt Komplete has a sound close to my original patch, but without the stair-...

Is there a way to quantize pitch bend to a musical interval, not time?
In the old DX7, it was possible to program pitch bend so that the bend wasn't fluid and notes wouldn't glide in a smooth linear fashion, but could be made to "step" or jump to musical intervals, like a third, a fourth, a fifth, and so on, with an octave at the extreme end of a pitch bend w...

Re: How do you do instant (no ramp) automation changes
The easiest way to do this may be to open the Audio Track Event List. Add an Audio Volume event where you want the change to occur. Set it to your desired initial value. Add another Audio Volume Event. Edit it's Start Time by adding one tic. Change the value to your desired new setting. Obviously, y...

Re: What does this thing do?
I think the whole tick box and the symbol to its right is Smart Selections. If you choose it in the Edit menu you can see the tick toggle on or off. I just tried, and you are CORRECT! From the User Manual (p. 569): ‘Smart’ Boundaries on Time Range Selections If the Smart Selections command in the E...

Re: DP 11 Crash concerns - file not found -43
I rebooted both computers, which didn't help. I didn't try unplugging the RAID. I'll try to remember that, if it happens again. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Is 32 GB enough RAM?
Have you tried going back to DP 10? I did try that at one point, but that was with my old 2012 MacPro with Catalina or Mojave, and I was still getting the crashing. I think getting the Mac Mini has solved most of my crashing and bus reassignment issues. I've gone into the workaround in a separate t...

Re: Updated to MacOS 11, strange behavior from DP 11
I'm going to take a shot in the dark here, because my first thought was to suggest you reinstall the OS, which you already tried. Try going into the Language and Region System Preferences, change it to something besides English, and then change it back. You could also try the old standby of creating...
