DP 11.11 released

[Killahurts]

Enhancements introduced in version 11.11

Enhancements and optimizations
• Include chord symbols in MusicXML export.
• Improved VST3 support for some Arturia VIs.
• Improved graphics resource efficiency on Windows, for better underlying performance primarily in views with large numbers of level meters.
• Added a minor optimization to speed up opening files with lots of notes and/or lots of clips.

Fixes
• Fixed a bug causing the Assign Colors window to not correctly update track colors on combined Instrument tracks.
• Fixed a bug causing the reshape tool not to work on only selected data in the MIDI editor.
• Fixed a Windows bug causing display issues in QS scores containing chord symbols with stacked suffixes.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the UI for combined VI tracks from updating when during drags across the play state button in the SE.
• Fixed a crash enabling/disabling an audio track in the mixing board.
• Fixed an autoscrolling bug causing MIDI note durations to not immediately follow the mouse while autoscrolling, requiring a user to continuously move the mouse while using autoscroll to extend the note duration past the visible window in graphic editors.
• Fixed a graphical glitch that could occur when autoscrolling to the beginning of the sequence while penciling in MIDI notes in graphic editors.
• Fixed a Windows crash that can occur in the Sequence Editor with projects containing massive numbers of tracks.
• Fixed snapshots of combined instrument tracks to use audio pan and volume rather than CC 7 and 10.
• Fixed a bug that could cause pitch edits in relative mode to incorrectly reset subsequent pitch segments.
• Fixed a subtle bug causing certain right-click contextual submenus (QuickScribe, Soundbites window) to omit the last item.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when pressing enter to apply certain region ops which close their dialog boxes after applying.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when DP receives MIDI that had been controlling a parameter.
• Fixed an issue that could lead to incorrect direct text articulation editing behaviors in QS.
• Fixed a Mac bug that could cause certain non-critical playback glitches to stop playback and show a generic "-50" error.
• Fixed an issue where Articulation Map delay was causing playback to try to rewind before Tick zero.
• Fixed a bug in which dragging MIDI notes in the Tracks window across conductor track tempo changes would cause confusing results if the time format was set to a realtime type while the ruler was showing measures.
• Fixed a crash creating groups on combined instrument tracks in the mixing board.
• Removed use of ATSFontDeactivate in our MAS plug-ins. It can cause a crash on quit and isn't necessary.
• Fixed a bug that could cause CC pan/volume to be sent to VIs from combined instrument tracks without any visible indicator of the "default" value, when using combined VIs with the "send default MIDI vol and pan" automation setup pref enabled.
• Fixed a bug causing nanosampler loop parameters not to update correctly.
• Fixed a bug that could cause Clips window navigation not to work through the control surface API when the Clips window is popped out of the consolidated window.
• Fixed a bug where polytouch events weren't being correctly converted to per note pressure events.
• Fixed a bug where auditioning a note via dragging would play to the wrong channel.
• Fixed a chase-related crash that could occur when editing clip data containing per-note events.
• Fixed a crash importing multiple audio files into DP.
• Fixed some cases where the behavior when adding a slur would not always match the selection correctly, requiring additional re-anchoring afterward.
• Fixed a bug causing the Scale Time dialog to behave erratically after having customized the start time.
• Fixed a crash that could occur on Windows when displaying certain combinations of articulations in QS.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when deleting tracks.
• Fixed a Windows bug that could cause single-clicking on chord symbols to incorrectly reset their position on the page.

Sweet!

I'm glad to see so many fixes. And I hate to be "that guy" but I'm bummed that the NOTE RESPELL and SWITCH STAVES bugs aren't listed. I'll check it once I install, but it's been around through many years, versions, computers, OS's. I won't hold my breath.

There are at least 3-4 new bugs that aren’t there either, most noticeably the Novation MKIII launchpad control surface support is almost completely broken in 11.1, hopefully it’s fixed but not listed, be able to tell later tonight when I get back to the studio.

Glad the enable/disable Audio Tracks in the mixer is fixed (in the V-Rack too btw). That was difficult to remember to avoid.

Not fixed is the dragging soundbites to Finder crash bug. That's easy enough to avoid, but it still causes an immediate crash for me if I try it. ....also not fixed is is the long standing constrain-dragging between MIDI tracks in the SE. I long ago eliminated that operation from workflow, but I'd love to get that functionality back one day

You just saved me a crash, dix. I was gonna' test this in a few minutes.

I've changed my workflow to Right-Click>Export to avoid the issue.

Update forces a reexamine of all VST3 plugs with no disastrous results.

11.11 seems fine on my Mac Studio under macOS 12.4. I got a couple of crashes when opening NI's Guitar Rig plugin, but otherwise, solid.

Just tested and no crash when calling this Plug-in from Native Instruments.

If you mean Guitar Rig, yes, it didn't crash every time for me. Just 2-3 times along the way. It seemed that waiting to be sure DP was fully at rest before opening the plugin prevented the problem for me.

It is my understanding Guitar Rig is not Apple Silicon Native at this point.

The only NI plug in that is native Apple Silicon is Kontakt. NI predictably are lagging there.

Ugh, this is disappointing, Launchpad Pro MKIII support, announced in 11, is still completely busted in 11.11. Previous to 11.1 you could use the transport, mixer, duplicate, record etc. etc. something broke in 11.1, and it's still broken. I was all excited to finally have a one DAW solution, owning a Push 2 that works in Live, Reason, Reaper, and Bitwig, I opted to buy the MKIII because of MOTU's support. The only consoling factor here is Novation control surface support is touted on their website prominently, so it's still possible that another minor bug fix updated is coming.

Glad the crash when disabling a track in the Mixer is fixed though.

[Killahurts]

This release didn't fix the issue with not being able to edit continuous cc in the MIDI editor with the pencil tool (if the cc data was input from a MIDI channel other than channel 1). The MOTU techs were able to acknowledge and reproduce it, but I guess there wasn't time to fix it in this release.

The best workaround is still to export the affected tracks as a MIDI file, and re-import/replace them. Then the pencil works normally.
