Any recommendation for a good control surface for DP?
Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a control surface that can work well with Digital performer 7.24 at least.
Price range $300-900.
Looking forward to hear back from you.

There's also MOTU's own app: DP Control. Works with DP 7.24 although don't know if it works right with iOS 7 or not. I'm still using iOS 6.1 on my old iPhone 4.

I've been trying for years to get the shuttle wheel working with DP on a Bella keyboard.
I can't figure out what commands to assign to assign to the various shuttle positions.
I've tried many possibilities and so far, no luck.
Are you able to use a shuttle wheel with DP?
Is this possible?
All is well

I recently bought a mackie universal control on ebay for less than 300. It worked as advertised for digital performer 8 and the seller even had the overlay for dp and every other popular daw. It really worked for me.
