Yeah. MIDI pitch bend is np here. ...Is pitch bend info not playing back from DP, or are performances not being recorded?

Pitch bend appears to both record and play back -- except for pitch bend with a value of zero, i.e., the value that returns the patch back to its regular pitch (an important feature for most music production). :x I inserted a value of zero right on a note: no effect. I tried placing it just before the note, with playback starting even earlier: still no effect. The only thing that worked was to move the pitch bend wheel on my MIDI keyboard. And oddly, if I change the value from 0 to 1, it works, but knowing it's not exactly on pitch can ruin my day.

I'm confident that these issues will eventually - hopefully very soon - be fixed. But having used Performer since the mid-80s through DP of the present (ca. 35 years!), I can't recall an update ever having this many serious problems.

Anyone planning on buying it should wait for an update.
I've had even worse luck than you. Even in DP9, Oberhausen crashes the MOTU Audio System. I have yet to hear it. That said, I'm using DP9 every day and loving it.
All is well

Hmm. I happen to be working in DP10 on a track with pitch bend and I'm not seeing this. Could your controller be messing things up? Does it happen on all tracks with pitch bend info? Even tracks that are not Record enabled?

Bummer, mate.

I haven't bought or run it; I was simply passing on the info shared by a GearSlutz member.

Initial reports are that it's not that much better than Arturia's SEM clone. I'm not surprised, the Arturia SEM is one of my favorites of theirs.

Well, Skippy loves it, but then you'd expect that seeing as he and Laurent Vironnez (Airwave) each contributed 100 patches to the factory library.

Hi All,

Does anyone know what has happened to the 'ENA' column in the DP10 Tracks window?

Opening a DP9.5 project with disabled tracks... I can switch on STC/CSH but no sign of ENA?

Is ENA no longer necessary?

Of course, I can create a new track and copy all the automation over manually....

Cheers

It's there. Maybe you have it turned off in the Tracks List preferences.
