MIDI input choice "any"

I just bought DP 10, I started 2 decades ago with DP 2.8 and have never seen this. My MIDI input choice says "any", and when I try to assign a synth or drum device, nothing happens. What is going on?

Re: Where did my Mac DP 8 audio go?

I drug the files as-is onto a usb zip drive. The project opened ok, just audio file problem. After I posted, I found an old post that talked about converting old sdII files to wav files, suggesting an app called sdtwowav. I downloaded it and converted the files and directed DP to the audio files fol...

Where did my Mac DP 8 audio go?

When I try to work on a project created on my Mac with DP 8.07 (64 bit) on my new Windows 10 computer with DP 8.07 (64 bit), the audio files are gone or have a "blank sheet of paper" icon and won't open in Windows DP 8. Is it a file type problem? Any ideas?

Re: This app can't run on your PC.

I just tried to install DP 9.5 from the web site and got exactly the same results: DP951(74138)Full and DP951(74138)Full.exe.part and when I click either one I get: This app can't run on your PC.

This app can't run on your PC.

I just bought a new Dell laptop, 8550u processor and 16 GB of ram, and when I try to install DP 8.07, I get the message: This app can't run on your PC. When I download the installer I get 2 files: DP806Full and DP806Full.exe.part . I'm trying to hold out for DP 10 and need a little more mileage on D...

Re: How to access old Performer and Digital Performer files

Some were created in OS9 on a G4 but I think all were opened in OS10.4 on a G5 dual processor, both Power PC Macs. I copied all of my old Projects to a Windows friendly hard drive then on to my Windows machine. The Projects open, but I get a file error message on audio. I tried .dpdoc on the audio f...

Re: How to access old Performer and Digital Performer files

James stated: Any reason why the Windows version of DP8 should be able to open Mac DP5? I know this isn't an issue with a lot of DP users, but when I bought the upgrade to DP8 Windows, the MOTU website stated that DP8 would be backwardly compatible to all older DP projects or something to that effe...

Re: How to access old Performer and Digital Performer files

I've thought of that but I live in the hollers of Appalachia and haven't been able to get hold of an intel Mac with DP installed, yet.

Re: Are DP-Mac and PC projects completely compatible?

Thanks Timeline. I still have a G4 and G5. I'll see if I can fire them up. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Re: Are DP-Mac and PC projects completely compatible?

When I have tried to upload DP5 projects made on a Power PC Mac to DP8 Windows version, the projects uploaded but the audio files did not. I always get a error message. I consulted the beta testers about this conundrum with no luck. I gave up and haven't tried in a while, although I have some old pr...

Re: Set up Kontakt 5/Komplete Elements as plug-in instrument

Thanks, I have posted to MOTU support, awaiting an answer. "Kontakt Elements Selection R2 Library" is the folder that contains all the samples, etc. It contains folders inside of folders until you get to the actual patches, could that be a problem for DP? I have played around with the Kont...

I then closed and rebooted DP, went to the Mixing Board tried to pull down anything that looked like the Native Instrumrnt stuff, and only go...

Re: Set up Kontakt 5/Komplete Elements as plug-in instrument

Correct path(s) may be the problem. I've reinstalled again and found a Native Instruments document "Digital Performer Guide - How to insert Native Instruments plug- ins" (sounds promising doesn't it ;-) .

Thanks for your help.

Re: How to access old Performer and Digital Performer files

I wonder if it is a Mac to Windows problem or maybe and SDII to wav problem?
