BUG! BUG! MOTU MUST FACE!

Post by MIDI Life Crisis »

Two things I do. Use the numeric 2 key to pause, and use opt-space bar to preview a selection. If I'm paused and select a soundbite (and presumably MIDI data) the preview does not play.

Not the end of the world but still, MOTU must face!

Other features remain accessible, but not previewing soundbites.

This is bogus, man!

I'm just laughing at the "must face" reference.

Making the jump to DP 10.x at last. It's about time, eh?

The title of this thread made my day. :koolaid:

P.S. You're right, MLC. I've tried multiple times, and it is not working as one would expect.

Anyone have an Atari 1040 they want to sell me? I still have my copy of SMPTETrack. Oh, I'll need a copy of OMS to go with that, and an order of fries, please. Coke! No Pepsi.

For me, opt-space with MIDI notes selected, the first selected notes stop abruptly (don't play full duration). This is with Contact/Kirk Hunter Concert Strings- might be the VI/instrument combo....

A bit off topic, but I've never understood the use of Pause in DP. What's the difference from just using Play and Stop?

Not having to reset start and stop times. Also, from pause I hit 4 or 6 to scrub back or forward.
