Re: DP11 Won't Sync
I always assumed it was using MIDI song position pointer. I use DP11 and it works flawlessly with my Elektron MachineDrum (the mk1 version from ~20 years ago), Korg SQ64 (before I got sick and tired of using this POS), and various other sequencers. Wherever I move the transport (reset, to a particul...

Re: Is there a MOTU MIDI interface that is fully compatible with Apple Silicon?
I would be happy to buy one of those MicroLites... You can't blame a guy for trying. These things are unobtanium at the moment. I was trying to get a MIDI Express 8x8 and no one has them and I contacted MOTU and they were non-commital on future availability. I assume iConnectivity has cornered the ...

Re: Sysex and USB Micro Lite
I own 2 of them and have used them w/ various MIDI Ed/Lib software (Prophet 10, Moog LP - both SoundTower, PolyMoon Edit and SysEx Librarian) and have no issues. Mac Studio, OSX 13.6).

Re: Warning RE: UADx Update 8/8/23
I have always had VST2/3 disabled on the plugins preferences. Seemed not to matter. That said... I start DP today multiple times and it comes right up w/ no crashes. Of course, I've seen this behavior before where it works until there is another UADx 'patch'.

Re: Warning RE: UADx Update 8/8/23
I've had nothing but DP startup issues when using UADx. In the crash logs, it always seems to be the same culprit: LA2 or the Fairchild. And this update seems to be the worst yet - multiple crashes at startup. I have the complete SoundToys suite, Audio Damage, Valhalla and (don't hate me) a few Wave...

Re: Mac Studio won't reliably shut down, but restarts with error
I definitely *had* this issue w/ Mac Studio M1 Max, 828es. Since Ventura 13.4.1 it has stopped. I shutdown the computer first, then the 828es due to habit. My old Mac Pro and 828mk2, I *had* to shut off the computer first or MOTU audio would go berzerkers.

Re: Where can I find more MIDI Insert "plug-ins" like Humanize?
I guess what I'm saying is, I think the dev community has moved on and is using AU for MIDI applications. If you look at Apple's AU API documentation, you can create a MIDI In/Out application (only) project. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfaudio/audio_engine/audio_units/creating_an_audi...

Re: Where can I find more MIDI Insert "plug-ins" like Humanize?
Hate to regurgitate an old thread... but I bought a couple ChaseBliss pedals - which are absolute PITA to control via MIDI. CB has created a Max for Live MIDI plugin for Ableton. However, it appears pretty much all DAW's (like DP) have their own proprietary API for MIDI plugins. Only Ableton uses Ma...

Re: Workaround for DP crashing when loading project with UADx plug-ins
I grabbed the latest UADx update and am still having issues - but only with the LA2 suite. All of the other's work fine. And this is not related to the issue where you can open a project without using a UADx plugin. I am literally opening an empty project, the LA2 suite (though it goes thru its plug...

Re: New Mac Studio Ultra is generally crashy and unstable
Echo what others are saying here. Look at the crash dump. 99.9% guaranteed its a plugin crashing DP on startup. I currently have UAD native, SoundToys, Valhalla, AD and Eventide (all M1 compatible - no Rosetta). Only UAD native causes DP to crash. In particular, the LA2 suite. Other UAD's I have are...

Re: MOTU 828ES and Sonarworks SoundID Reference room calibration issues.
I was just about ready to pull the plug on Sonarworks. I also have a 828es and unless this is resolved... well... that's a no-go.

Re: What's the word on Ventura and DP and common plug ins?
Yeah... I get it. It may be superfluous at some point, but until I they release ALL their plugs as native, if you like a certain one that isn't native, you don't have much choice. I really like their 480L and there is no Spark version. I'm at peace with my decision to get a TB3 Satellite OCTO last ...

Re: What's the word on Ventura and DP and common plug ins?
Isn’t UA using iLok for CP for the Native plugs? Not sure why they’d have to emulate a dongle in that case? They use iLok. By "dongle", I meant their Shark GPU in the satellite and apollo interfaces which in effect act as a dongle to their software (and obviously providing DSP... which in...

Re: What's the word on Ventura and DP and common plug ins?
Thanks for reinforcing my decision to abandon UA :D I was starting to get a little tempted by their Native packages. Like I really need more compressors, EQs and reverbs. I had UADx by default (Dimension D, 1176, LA2 and Pultec EQ). I noticed there are 3 UAD processes running in the background. 2 o...

Re: What's the word on Ventura and DP and common plug ins?
Hmmm... I disabled the UADx Pultec plugin suite and DP on Ventura is behaving a LOT better. No more crashing, just occasional crash on startup. Before... I literally instantiate a UADx plug and bam... crash.
