The Chunks Window, DP Live Performance

Post by Killahurts »

I don't suppose there is any way to make it bigger, more readable? We had a 17" MBP, and neither myself, our percussionist who controls it, or anyone else in the group could know what song we were cued to, without using the Apple control/scroll/zoom.

My 11 year old daughter could read it with her young perfect eyes, if she put her face right up onto the screen.

I wish they had made that window sizable, instead of the counter window, which can be made huge (I'm sure that's useful for somebody).

Add it to the long list of 'tiny things in DP that are difficult to use because they are so tiny'.

My live setups include many DP sequences.
A marker at each sequence-start with a specific name.
Calling next sequence will display next marker name on counter.
So a huge counter is helpful to read markers from far. In a glance I can get sure about which sequence is ready. That means which VIs are loaded, even if I'm on the other side of stage.

BTW, in case a sequence is heavy, it takes some time to load, but display will switch only when loading is complete. This tells me I can play instruments. Thanks DP!
