Seems like a nice alternative to DP control, but I get what you mean.bolla wrote:The Protools control app works well with DP.
It's free.
It has an overview, like a timeline, at the top which shows all the tracks and their assigned colour.
It highlights the currently selected track and also the current bank.
This makes selecting/moving around very easy.
You can also assign a bunch of soft keys.
It does feel a bit like cheating on the missus though....

The misspelling of 'Perfomer' is a bit of a worry, but otherwise looks interesting. I haven't tried it yet.
They have posted here: http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtop ... en#p511099
Scratch that DP template.
This version was posted without it being complete or fully tested and not backed by me (I'm the guy developing it). Time permitting I should have a version out in a couple months that works and is pretty cool. Assign busses and recall channel presets are among some of the features.
You can wait for my vetted version or get something else but DO NOT get the one thats posted.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
I'm auditioning DAW Control right now, and it looks like a keeper. It can be easily overlooked because it doesn't advertise a DP profile, but its raw "Default" HUI mode works great. $4.99 at The App Store.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
Jim, thanks for this. Worth 5$, but I am confused on some of the finer points, notably the markers don't seem to work as expected. I did a run down on the HUI manual and I'm still a bit confused.Gravity Jim wrote:I'm auditioning DAW Control right now, and it looks like a keeper.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
I've had this running controlling DP 9 from my iPad the past couple of days, and so far it's excellent. It also acts as a controller for Logic Pro X.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
I just downloaded this after reading this thread. I've set it up in AudioMidi setup and selected the Mackie Control from Setup>Control surface setup in DP9. It seems to send controller commands as I can use the transport ad faders/pots/buttons, but there is no two-way connection so no time readout, no levels or any other display info on the ipad app.Gravity Jim wrote:I'm auditioning DAW Control right now, and it looks like a keeper.

Do I need to do something specific to get a two-way connection going?
any help appreciated.

You the need latest version of Eucon Control installed. That requires a download from a site designed by Franz Kafka.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
Arumdevil... you don't need any special drivers (it doesn't use Eucon but connects through AMS's Network device). Quit DP, restart your iDevice, and it should come right up. I had the same problem yesterday connecting a different iPad, but just did what it said in the last lines of the setup guide and it worked fine.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"...
Thanks Jim! I had relaunched DP but that had no effect. I'm guessing rebooting the iPad did the trick as it all seems fine now. It's just a shame the level meters are so hard to see in grey!

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
Well, yeah, but I'm only watching the meters in DP (I have a big meter bridge open all the time... one display is for bridge, mixer, and open plug-in windows, the other for the Consolidated Window). I'm just using the buttons and faders, and I really like it.
Did you notice you can set latency compensation in the network? I have mine at about 10 ms, and it makes DAW Control very responsive and "tactile."

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
Yeah I did notice the LC but I haven't tried adjusting it yet.
Need a proper chance to play around with the app but it seems pretty good so far.

Re: DP Control Dead...Good alternative?
I've been playing around with DAW Control per G. Jim's recommendation, and I've decided it's a winner. I was a bit confused with the function of some of the buttons, but I am using the Mackie Control driver (not HUI) in DP with the default DAW Control in the app. I then edited the Default profile in the app to the Digital Performer Lexan Overlay (help files), and then everything became crystal clear and maximum functionality was obtained. Some of the buttons are a bit small and awkward for me, but the main functions work very well.
