I realize this is an old thread, but I am also wondering how it might be possible to get two-way communication between an MCU or MCU-compatible device with motorized faders specifically for CC's for VI's (esp. the orchestral ones, Spitfire, etc.). I think that either custom console would work, or el...

I'm very impressed by your encyclopedic knowledge of the DP manual! It was on p. 302. That section describes MIDI learn in the context of the clips window, which doesn't _seem_ to apply to what I'm trying to do. However ... it was very good advice to RTFM, because on p. 919, there's a section called...

Hi, everyone. I have been using DP since it was, uh, "P". I have a pair of old-but-still-fully-working MCU units, an MCU + MCU XT. I am doing more and more orchestral composing these days, and would love to be able to use the MCU for CC control for my sample libraries, to control expressio...

Hi, all. Now that we're all using a lot of the awesome features of DP 11 and especially 11.1, has anyone gone out and gotten an Avid S1 and possibly an Avid Dock and some tablets, to exploit the new-found support for EuCon devices? I have ancient but still usable MCU and MCU Extender controllers, bu...

I may have missed it in this long discussion, but one thing that having a combined instrument/MIDI track would be great for would be building orchestral templates, where play-enabling a track not only play-enables its MIDI but also loads and enables its VI. This video illustrates this approach to bu...

[FULLY ANSWERED] It seems I just needed to RTFM. From page 334 of the DP 11 manual: Reassigning notes to a different articulation map When an articulation is first applied to a note, the note remembers the symbol, not the articulation’s remote trigger or output settings. This means that if you chang...

Sort of answering my own question, I discovered by experimenting that when you change articulation maps, DP somehow manages to re-map the articulations to be the right ones in the new map. Case in point: I built my own "native" KS-based map for Spitfire. For the basic "a Violins.nki&...

Hi, fellow DP11 users! I have only just recently upgraded my main music Mac to DP11 (and Big Sur), primarily so I could take advantage of Articulation Maps. In particular, I have a symphonic score using Spitfire instruments (all via Kontakt Player) using the vanilla keyswitch (KS) mechanism for thin...

Thanks, bayswater! That's a great idea, and will definitely work. (Warning: the following uses a tiny amount of basic algebra.) My goal is for each actual tempo value a and for a target tempo t to make the new tempo, a_new, with a scaling ratio r, as follows: a_new = a + r(t - a) The above says that...

Hi, all. I have a piece that I originally recorded "freehand" via MIDI, then used (the sometimes dreaded) Tap Tempo to align to the proper beat structure. In any event, it took some cleaning, but I have everything the way I want it, except there are some sections that I'd like to make a li...

Hi, all. I am a long-time MOTU Performer/DP user (since it was Performer, since around 1987). I recently upgraded my original-edition Mac Pro to a 2019 Mac Pro and replaced my 24io with a pair of MOTU interfaces, an 828es and a 16A. The new equipment all works very, very well! My question here is a ...

Thanks for the advice. I'll try using audio tracks next time. What I would *really* like is a way to simply do a simple real-time mixdown. I.e., if I can play my mix live and have a master fader, I'd like to be able to simply record the output of that master fader. Is there a feature that lets me do...

Hi, everyone. I have a workflow question. I have a bunch of outboard MIDI gear that I use alongside instrument tracks and recorded acoustic tracks (guitar, vocals) in many of my DP projects. My normal setup is to have an Aux track for each outboard MIDI instrument, and my normal workflow when I'm do...
