Could you direct us to a good place to learn how to do that?

Thanks

Re: Event List Import Export

If the event list represents the MIDI data, then it is by definition a "representation" of music, at least as MIDI represents it. And it certainly looks like text. I have looked into it over the years, and neither a standard MIDI file, nor raw MIDI, is as simple and human-readable as DP's ...

Re: Event List Import Export

That's cool. Thanks.

What about the other way -- import?

Event List Import Export

Is there any way to import or export an event list? Say to/from a text file? Not SMF. I have been composing for decades using code to generate events as text files. I can make my output conform to any syntax and format. This would be a natural fit for DP's event list view if I could only get my even...

Re: MIDI notes controlling transport

Disabling the transport Master did the trick.

I will take your advice and learn how these masters work.

Thank you both.

MIDI notes controlling transport

Hi All All of a sudden, certain MIDI notes are controlling the DP Transport instead of playing. For example, F below middle C starts recording, and the D below that pauses the transport. I have not knowingly changed any settings nor can I find any settings to undo this behavior. Anybody know what's ...

Re: Ever feel like DP users are a dying breed?

Wow, I see some very big misconceptions about MOTU and DP here. Dave, I think the misconception is yours. You seem to be just fine with the status quo. But the premise of this thread is that MOTU and DP have a market problem with younger users. Some posters have attested to that. It would be great ...

Re: Ever feel like DP users are a dying breed?

In many ways, MOTU and DP do indeed hark back to another era. But the company and product clearly have a loyal community of users paying the bills. This means, clearly, something is going right; and just as clearly, some things could stand improving. My suggestions: 1. Be deep! Make bucking the tren...

Re: k-20, k-14, k-12 levels

There is a LOT going on in this area these days. A little background: The "K" in "K-12, K-14 and K-20" is for Bob Katz, the great mastering engineer (digido.com). His book "Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science" is a must read. Really. Bob Katz is the Nelson Mandela ...

Generate automation data compositionally

Hi All, Is there a way to generate automation data compositionally? I want to use an external process (in this case MAX) to generate data that controls my plugins (in this case AAS Chromaphone). In other words, I want to write DP automation data from a stream, not record it from the UI. In case you ...

Re: Please include Mach Five 3 with DP8. Please!

I don't use samplers so MF would be wasted on me. But it seems like a marketing no-brainer for MOTU to offer a Suite version of DP that included MF and perhaps other sound-producing tools: DP does the MIDI, mixing and processing, the Suite adds sounds. And MOTU would make money from those who want t...

Clear and Import Bundles... wipes out plugin UI

Hi All Anyone run into this? When I have plugin windows open, and I use "Clear and Import Bundles..." to load a bundle that I just exported, all non-DP plugins loose their interfaces. The plugin's UI area goes white. And from this point on, if I try to load a new third-party plugin (AU) it...
